Recent site update

Hello Coders,

I just finished adding the first stage of the site updates which were mainly template related as you would have seen by now. If the site looks a little weird/messy then please refresh your browser a couple of times using the refresh button of F5 and that should sort it out.

One of the changes to the template has been to reduce the size of the header because a lot of you asked for the logo to be made smaller which I have no done but in doing so it didnt leave much room for the welcome panel/icons so until I get around to finishing the header the icons have been hidden away but all you need to do to view them is click your avatar in the top-right corner of the screen...

So dont worry you can still check your credit page and blog etc when you need too.

Updates are ongoing and this recent update is not the final result but its a start and I wanted to get the new layout added so you have a chance to get use to it and get an idea of how things are heading in the future.

Feel free to comment with what you think about it and any ideas you have.

I hope you like it so far cooll;

I love the color scheme. It's simple, yet elegant. Also, I like the clicking to view icons features. It's cool.

Once again, great job Cody ;)

I have a couple ideas.

1. On the "New Topics" on the homepage, remove the "In" before the topic name. It doesn't really make sense.
2. The header logo looks a little disproportional.

Something is missing... I don't know what. Near the top, it just looks empty. Something, something. I think too much whitespace and too much gray, actually.

Other than those ideas, great new design.

Update the chat, http://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/mod/m ... w_version/

Remove deleted videos from the video section, also the arcade page is DEAD so either remove it or add some big update so people use it more. I'm not a fan of browser games and prefer big downloadable ones like minecraft or TF2, that's why I'm not using arcade.
