Please be sure to refresh your browser (possibly more than once) in order for some changes to appear properly. Also please note that this is only part I of II in the update. The second part of the update will involve drastic physical appearance changes and database (users/posts) purging. This part focuses primarily on laying groundwork, cleaning up, and expanding/adding features in preparation for part 2.

In some ways, the forum may look a bit messier than it was originally (especially in the header and sidebar). This update was much bigger than I originally intended it to be. However, this is necessary groundwork for the next big update so please be patient in this transition. Feedback is much appreciated, ...

Forums will be down for several hours on Sunday, the 8th to begin the first phase of the site update. This date and time is subject to change. A number of changes are slated for this (many of which aren't necessarily listed in the original post above). This update will largely be meant to lay groundwork and prepare for part II. While some changes to the basic appearance will begin this phase, most of the color scheme changes are slated for part II.

Users will need to refresh their browsers for some of the changes to take effect.

I would greatly appreciate it if anyone familiar with graphic design contacts me beforehand in regards to a few image related issues.

EDIT: This may come early on the 7th instead. I'm somewhat ahead of schedule so far. So it could happen either...

Any form of recognition is a step forward in my book.
