I like what you've done with it... is there anything different besides the first page?

I am going to go about changing the theme, and probably try to make the site more navigable. As it is right now, it's just not as easy as I want it to be. So expect some changes in the way the site functions.

It's cool, I really like it. Only thing that seems a bit off is the text size - it seems really big to me.

the size of the text was the first thing I noticed blaming the latest mozilla add-on for changing the setting ;)
It fits the needs of a coder sitting 27h in front the computer trying to spot the error :lol:
Would be nice if new users (maybe for two weeks or so) were pointed to the guideline announcement, too.
Although I like the default theme, I'm eager to see a new one....

Are you a closet Mac-User, volka? :P

Personally, I like the phpBB subBlack theme (screenshot), but, just as volka, I am probably the only one :P (rocks, nevertheless :lol:)

But yes - the site looks great, Jason!

As the coffee and sudafed have begun racing through my viens...
Wow, didn't expect it.
Upon reflection, I guess the question is, "is it needed"?

1/ The need to change things, take control of your life by "rearranging the furniture", I understand this. :P

2/ If I'm logging to read and perhaps post some answers, yea I might use some of the info.

3/ Logging on to post a question that I'm obsessing about, it's just another hoop I have to jump through.

Conclusion: I dig your site, the potential cost of one not so bad hoop to jump through to use this very helpful place. (in the words of an over-used credit card commercial) "Priceless".

OK, I wrote this because.......... :?
Rock on, thanks for your work.
