The new wide screen style is available for use. If you like the old style better, that is available too. You can select which one you prefer using the selector at the bottom of each page.

You will notice a few changes on the navbar as well. More new features are planned in the near future.

If you see something that isn't quite right, let me know and I will try to fix it.

When I try to edit options I get this message...

"A required field called Panic Button - URL Jump is missing or has an invalid value."

I have that feature turned off

Thanks Mike.

Chuck - Just put a website address (e.g., google) into that box and it will take your changes.

Chris - The forums list is under Forum Tools now (first menu item). I will also try to have one more link on the home page to it though...good point.

Totally blown away when I logged on. Looks absolutely amazing. Everything just pops so much more. On my MacBook it really is amazing. Amazing job Jim, best looking site there is.




There is one thing I see however, can the sponsor banner at the very top be moved over to the right so that it lines up with the menu bar?

One thing I did notice is that the top bar that says "Grow Your reef with Us" and has the reef banner is a little hard to read text when you have clicked into a forum. Maybe use a bolder text or something

Sam- I will give it another go here in a few....

I appreciate the feedback guys.

I agree, also needs a bolder border or something too. Otherwise looks awesome!

Is the banner not far enough right for you still? I moved it over last night. I'll see what I can do to outline/highlight the banners.

I think its the sponsor banners that have corals in them, they clash with the CR header. The ones with a solid background look best and the Trops looks ok due to the outline.
