There will be things soon (such as the helps sections, etc ) added but the main structure of the site is ready .....

Looks good Pete, :) except for the Google ad covering up our banner.

Is it my imagination, or do the thumbnails for the downloads look better?

I agree ,But that's perhaps the main contribution to keep the site  running, am I right?

Looks great, I still don't know what is all that thing of  "Live"  :-/

Looks great!

I also noticed that the helicopter on the right side of the banner is from one of my screenshots that I posted.
That was a surprise!

;D

The graphics guy asked me for some images to work with so I went though the screenshot forums backup images -- picked out a few that stood out in the 100 I looked at .... no idea who they wwere by as they were just a series of images in the 'yabbuploads' folder ... thanks for the great image! :)

except for the Google ad covering up our banner.


replace the word 'banner' with 'top header' & you are more on the mark ....  ;)

It's a nice clean look. I like the addition of latest forum posts.

I got to test-drive the site, and I will say it is very nice. I also liked the latest forum posts section. And I thought the same thing about the ad, but I don't think there's much you can do about it. ::)

The graphics took 2 days to complete -- the engine/system has been 1000 hours and being developed since April. ....  :)

We are now working on the server OS to maximise the database as things are running slow ---- you can't have any major work launched without some bugs being thrown up .....  8-)

Pete, will the forums be getting "the treatment" too, or are you maintaining the present style/format?
