Full time network admin job paid for this ;) no freebies for me :lol: and the Nforce2 shuttle that sits beside it ;)

Keep the reviews coming in :D Ive posted the ones you have sent in on our main page. Nice work! I bought an MX-700 recently myself. So fast, I forget the thing is wireless 8)

Got any plans to skin the forums?

[Kurtis]

yea, i love my mx700. also, speaking of nforce2, we will be receiving a new NForce2 mobo in the weeks to come, but its not just an ordinary mobo :D . You will see what i am talking about later. And about the forum, I will be reskinning it, but I want to wait until we decide to redo the graphics for the site or not. What do you think about the site? Leave it, change it, anything specific you like or dont like? Thanks for feedback :)

We ( or at least I ) would definately like to redesign the site and skin the forums. But due to a lack of funding, it is just me trying to get a new design up. I don't want to do a forum skin until we have a final site design, as I would like it to match. I guess I could post it on here and see what you all think.

That is what I have been working on for the new site design, but Kurtis doesn't agree with it.

[Kurtis]

actually i hadnt seen that one yet, i saw a previous version. that ones pretty nice. i dont get the point of latest updates though, because if you look down, there it is... is that just to get people who arent on homepage to click our latest review etc?

[Brian]

The latest updates is so the users can see our latest news no matter where they are on the site.

[Shorty]

The Nforce2 platform is awesome :D

My 8RDA+ is a screamer of a board. Looking forward to the ultra 400 boards. Be interesting to see how they perform, especially as they have native 200mhz FSB support ;) very nice!

The site looks great in those colours. Not too bright or hideous. Good on the eyes and everythings easy to read and navigate.

PHPBB2 is so nice to skin ;) edit .tpl and your'e away! 8)

[Brian]

Thanks for the comments :-)

[Kurtis]

i haven't edited a phpbb, or anyother forum for that matter. so it should be a fun little project when all this studying is done with. college sucks, dont go! It will leave more jobs open for me 8)

[MyFifthLimb]

Yeah, I agree. Keep the colors, but I think you should change the skin only if people agree that it is better. If no one likes the proposal, just keep the one you have. I like it now, but I am always open to see new skins, etc.
