Kind of funny for a first post, but I would like to offer a few things... First of all, I really hate to see un-modded proboards forums, as they just look "drab" for some reason.. I would like to offer my services in giving this forum a makeover... To start with, you can in fact add more smileys, and I do know how, without doing anything remotely unethical or against the terms of service.. I also have a pack of smilies sitting on my hard drive, that I would gladly donate to this forum, as the original destination forum is dead, regrettably... You can get them here: tfo.rh.rit.edu/esforum/SirLuthor/Smilies.rarFeel free to use those, if you like.. Also, if you want to see what can be done with proboards forums, check these two examples out, done by me: sirluthor.proboards26.com/index.cgiravedesigns.proboards30.com/index.cgiAll designs, except the header image in the second forum, were done by me. Anyway, if any admin would like to have this forum customized, and/or wants more smilies, and a portal, and loads of other junk, etc, just PM me, and we'll see what can be done, eh? |

I like the first one but the second is very hard to read. This is really up to HeWhoWatches as it's his board unfortunately he is currently without internet access at home. Emoticons are always welcome, we have some that HWW done but as you may have read he didn't know how to add them to this site so are on seperate pages. I shall inform him of your kind offer and i'm sure he'll be in touch, It would be nice to make this place a little more individual  Not sure about the Zombies though  Is that forum yours? |

A forum makeover might be nice. I agree the second one is rather hard to read. The first one is good, but rather dark and earthtoney and IMO doesn't seem to be a huge departure from this color scheme. Of course it works for you with the Zombie thing going on. But then again HWW has the Grim Reaper thing going on, but maybe Cali can convince him to add a splash of color. |

My quarter Euro. I agree that the second one is almost unreadable unless I shut the shutters and pull the curtains over the window. Problem then is that I can't see the keyboard to type a reply. (So opens curtains and shutters.......!) First one is good and clear but, as Motoki says, not too far from what we've got. I *do* have a problem with the black background on alternate posts here, maybe HWW could be persuaded to let you loose on that? More/better smileys. Now *there's* something we would all like, I'm sure. However it's not our decision. We'll have to wait for HWW to fight his way through the bureaucracy at British Telecom! |

The bad coloring of the text in the second one is not my fault.. Co-Admin was making some "changes", and I haven't righted them yet... I should do that soon.. and anybody who guessed that the first was mine is correct, it is entirely mine, and everything on it is made by me alone. Of course, the colors can be put to anything mister admin would want, if he wants to, and graphics made accordingly.. I was just volunteering my services in adding a few useful codes, making graphic FX, and such And odds are, any zombies you see in a Morrowind-related place are probably mine, as I'm the only one I know if who has made some, even if it's not all too difficult... |

Hey, SirL! Can we have that scythe and eyes as a background?
No. No. Wait until HWW gets here. He'll be seriously, and justifiably, hacked off if we make ANY decisions! ;D
It won't just be a case of slapped wrists, more the roundhouse turn with his scythe!

Well of course no decisions should be made without herr administrator, but I could make a grand header image with that pic! However, it wouldn't make a good background, methinks.. Something more like this wallpaper I did would look better as a forum backdrop Oh, BTW, I fixed the text in the second forum now.. |

Going to have a look at the second forum you mentioned. I'm sure that HWW will be interested in your views about 'tarting up' the site. For me, it's fine the way it is with the one exception I mentioned before about the alternate black backgrounds. To be honest, my main problem is not the site design but he dreadful connection I get from out here in the sticks! HWW will be back soon I'm sure and then we can have a sensible talk about any changes you think we should have. As they say here - paciència (Patience)! |

I'm happy to give you the go ahead, noting the following concerns:
1. All changes to be made by existing admin (no new admin please!).
2. A mockup would be nice so that the admins can have a look before we decide anything.
3. The speed of loading for the site must remain reasonable for those on dialup, and no posts / info must be lost due to us meddling with the board!
Any other suggestions Cali or Bravo? (or anyone else)
Finally, many thanks for your offer, it is very generous indeed!
