Yeah, I'm not trying to pressure anyone. I'm just working at it with my own pace, and I have a live test site people can browse, or they can let me know if they want a newer package to test on their own server.

Well, I have been chugging away at the style, and so far I am really happy with the results. A HUGE chunk of the graphics are finished (SMILIES (http://www.neeto.org/misc.php?do=showsmilies)), and the feel is still funky and retro I think.

But I have run into a problem. With my minimalist approach to design, I was not looking ahead to enable site links. While there is no way there will be multiple rows of strange links across the top of the site, I should consider the simple fact that most people (including myself, actually) do not run a vanilla forum with no addons, and at the very least, could very likely have a site or portal that is an extension of the forums, or visa versa.

I'm open to suggestions!

I will have a think about the site links. For now I think you should have a quick look at your footer.

On my screen the site credit image is a little cut off. See attached.

I am running FireFox 1.5 on OS 10.4.3

Thanks, Robert. I'll check it out and get testing with the Fox again. :)

Well, I had an older version of firefox, that I suppose was more lenient. At any rate, I fixed it up good like.

Thanks!

Thanks!So I see. Great work.

The style looks very cool. Just a couple of small niggles, but otherwise a brilliant effort. :D

Well, Site Links are now present in the style. I will include in the style a few extra buttons, and an explanation of how to use them. :) Right now, it will easily fit 3 buttons, for example "Portal Forums Gallery". It can be modified to fit more however.

Also, I have finished the vast majority of the graphics as well as templates. I will finish the editor and the other various graphics tentatively this week, and we should have a release.

Thanks, Disjunto and Robert, both of you for your suggestions, and your interest in the design. Both of you have been a great help in stomping out little bugs.

A pleasure. Always happy to help someone who is helping the community.

Plus, it means I will have another cool style at my finger tips. :)
