Forum Upgraded & New Homepage

**Will** · 11-12-2006, 10:53 PM

Just to let you all know, the forum has been upgraded to the latest Version of the software.

I've also begun the new homepage for the site, this will mean (sigh) another change to the forum look. But with good reason this time, the new home site will be a general infomation page about what the site is for and especially the forum. I hope to be adding new features, such as a photo and video gallery in the near future too.

You can check the progress (which will be slow) here.

The new frontpage is live, it's not quite finished, but it was easier to upload it now rather then later. The next step it to change the forum to match the new style.

Thanks guys. All I have to do it get the forum looking up to scratch and we'll be there.

OK forum isn't looking right yet, but I've definately got the main page finished for now. I think I'm going to go to bed.

WOW! 200% better, it looks like a real website now! No offence (obviously you weren't happy with the previous designs either), but this design looks so much more professional and thought out then the previous 200.

Did you do the artwork all yourself?
