Nice Job Adam! Love the colors, always been a Red Freak. Rode Red in MX (Honda) Have a Red (Hellrot) M3, and my original first Pentax (Super Program) came with and still have the Red Pentax strap!

Looks fine to me in Firefox 3.0.6 and XP Pro SP3.

Nicely done, Adam. A very professional look.

bobrapp · 02-14-2009, 02:02 AM

Well done, Adam, well done!

eva2000 · 02-14-2009, 02:20 AM

I like! well done indeed

xjjohnno · 02-14-2009, 02:29 AM

A lovely looking front page and theme Adam, well done.

While I certainly like the physical layout and structure of the new home page, must say the red look ("skin") is just dreadfully gaudy, Adam. Especially so in the forums where it so overwhelms the eyes, distracting from the content of the messages (the text in those messages suddenly seems a lot smaller and less important).

Thanks for providing an option to switch it back to the green layout, but wish the forum software would remember my preference so I don't have to reselect that each and every time I sign in. When you changed the forum layout the last time, you provided an option to select the "skin" in the preferences (which I used to select the "skin" I actually preferred), but I couldn't find that option this time amongst the many forum preferences.

Not exactly thrilled with having to select the green layout while just scanning new messages while not signed in either, but not much say in that given it's not my forum.

I've gone back on my decision and changed the default back to green. The overwhelming majority (80%) of green skin users has spoken

Fine on my FF. Well done Adam.

The new homepage looks fantastic! Great job. Still like the "Classic Skin" best for the forum. The looks and the easy navigation provided by the new homepage are really nice.

J.Scott · 02-14-2009, 03:37 AM

Looks very professional.
It's like we're all grown up now.

Good job Adam.

roentarre · 02-14-2009, 03:42 AM

Now the forum looks even higher class than before

messthetics · 02-14-2009, 03:47 AM

I too just came upon this site after having a *good* friday night and it was quite the surprise. Great job! I think this site looks much better than the comparable canon/nikon forums now. Will there be an option to use the older theme? I'm fine with this one, I'm just wondering if the option would be open.

The default is now back to green- and yes, all 4 current themes will remain selectable permanently.

Great work!! Professional and to-the-point. Well done!

**rparmar** · 02-14-2009, 04:44 AM

As a web designer and information architect I can only say... very very nice! Looks fantastic, very clear, and presents all the most important information right up front.

Wowza!

I love the way the Photo Contest is highlighted and laid out. It rivals the collection on the PPG, although smaller, no less brilliant.

Good work!
