I've been working on sorting a decent portal (front page) for the site and after checking loads of different versions, I've ended up with this...

I'll tidy it up more, but if anyone has any suggestions about what you want, or not, to see there please feel free.

Interesting...I like the way the new look opens you up to forums you may not usually frequent. It looks like there is more going on and also it's different...unique, and that I like. It's still comforting to know that you can go to the navigation at the left and go back to the forum style that is familiar. Very hi-tech, Face. You been thinking about this for a while...? I need your brain for my interview on Tuesday.

Interesting! It'll take a bit of getting used to, but I can see you've put a lot of work into it  |

| I like it. It opens everything up a lot more to the forums. |

| I like the way it looks, Face. Not so sure about whole posts on the front page...that will take a bit of getting used to, but I like it. It looks like a newspaper. My vote (since here in the States we are in that mode!) is to go for it! |

yeah, that is a bit of a problem - I'll look into it. But I'm glad you and others like the idea so far. I'll work on it over the week and hopefully have it all set and neat before long. |

ok, I've set things now to something more useful - there are now the last 8 posts listed on the portal page and each message is limited to 200 words. It's never going to be perfect, because of the way it reads permissions, but I'll work on it more anyway...

It only works on bluetabs theme just now, but once it's finished I'll port it into the others. |

I've just noticed there's an error in the front page which means if there's multiple quotes in a post the layout gets messed up, so could you all try to make sure that you only quote the part of a message you're actually replying to?
This will make things easier to read in general too... |
