I sent the link to Nige but he installed it, Want to say good work on sorting the default avatar stuff. It really helps things when there is at least something there.

the ones generated by sigr.com look well.

as for standardising text, i think you might be taking it a little too far.

I agree, if you want to limit the size of avatars to 150 that's cool, a lot of forums do it, but defining what people have in their signatures is kinda taking it too far, imagine a new user signs up, and you then tell him he needs to change his sig, he's not likely to stay very long!

Who said anything about text? Not me, of course not. Misunderstood totally what I was looking to gage from people ^^

Binary as well, jeesh to you. Harsh. Any comments made about the theme I have gone in and changed for people. If I was dictating the forums nothing would change.
Do all this for folk, putting some suggestions (which i said all they were) to help with the layout if there was any standardisation and I get my head bit off. Bit annoyed.

Goblin, I have been busy with other things this weekend. I have a things to fix. To get the layout updated as it is now and not change other elements of the forum I had to add classes to crap loads of code in a load of files for example.

I got the drop down, the names, private message layout, icons, buttons all on list to fix and I will get important ones done in the week for folk. I noticed the hover over yesterday :/ its annoying I know, will do it Monday Night (My time)

I think the pages are to long... takes 50 posts in a thread to make a 2nd page, that a to much scrolling IMO

Don't think for a minute I'm nitpicking here, just noting things that aren't quite right to add to the "oh bugger" list, as I usually refer to the things that come in after a site is finished.

I think i speak for everyone when I say we really appreciate how much hard work you've put into this and we in no way wish to come across as whiney. Some of the old timers who have been here for over a decade clearly have strong opinions on "our" forum

One of the things I would still like to improve is the signature area and would be great to come up with a format for when you do have something there.

Thoughts?

About the only thing I think that needs doing is some kind of line/divider across to signify the end of a post and the start of the sig. Some people with just text sigs make it look like they hit enter a dozen times and continued typing. Other than that I think it should be left to our own common sense in terms of not having loads of flashing images that take up half your screen

And kudo's on all the hard work, compared to the default skin we had before (and the skin we had on "tekforum") this is awesome!
