    I did a major upgrade to the site. I bought a skin and modified a bit to get the look just right. There are still a few tweaks to do to it, but, for the most part it's done.
    I also redid the frontpage and removed virtuanews and replaced it with vbadvanced homepage. The site is now controlled fully by vbulletin. One set of templates to edit.
    I added a rss news feed hack and all I have to do now is set up users and feeds to post news. This makes my job easier since everything will be done automatically.

    Tell me what you think.

    I certainly like it. :) With a bit of tweaking it will be an excellent style. I also like the new front page engine. Must more streamlined than vNews.

    Much better! One suggestion though, you may want to add some space between the forum listings & the forum headers, just a thought though.

    BTW: Thanks for the link :)

    I like the style. Only thing I've found is that in Opera the 'Quick Links' menu doesn't go over the Google ads, so hitting the right bar can be a bit of a challenge.

    Edit: The one thing that I've noted is that the setting to place user info at the left no longer seems to affect the placement of the info; its always on top.

    The ad placement will change. I just put them there temporarily. They will move to the the sidebar on forum home.

    i also noticed that the user info is always at the top.

    also clicking view new posts shows all the posts ever made. doesn't seem to work the way it used to.

    I think what happened is it grabbed all the news posts posted by the bot. They were probably new since the last time you were here. It runs every 4 hours.

    It works right. I just tested it and the only new postwas the last one I made.

    Looks soooo much better than before, especially the frontpage (I hated the frontpage with a passion).

    Great work Bob! :)

    Wow, hadn't looked at the main page. Very nice. Also, the user info pane is in the right place now :) Awesome job, Bob. :D
