    I see no broken links there.

    It's either red envelope, red envelope w/ arrow down, or red envelope with lock.

    Why?

    The nice white background really pops, and the overall look is more modern.


    How old are you just out of curiosity?

    Also will you be offering membership levels or something to remove the ads that appear in-between posts?


    Like Sponsor, or something like that?



    Or have ads always appeared in the middle of pages?

    No, this ad placement is totally new. I don't plan to offer any membership levels to remove the ads, as I never intended to turn this into a pay service. The site will always be free but I do have to pay the hosting bills :)

    One thing I've seen on some sites is 'supporter' type accounts with a few priveledges:

    No advertisements
    Larger avatar
    Supporter-only subforum

    Understood if you want to keep it free and include advertisements but you could make some extra coin if you charge $15/year or so for that kind of account upgrade. As long as you keep it subtle so there is no class hierarchy crisis at least.

    I think you should make money.

    I can install the membership levels for you, I know I have no problem paying. The ad free look would just be a bonus.

    Apparently I'm in the minority. I liked the old board better.

    There's just too much going on. I liked it simpler.

    I would totally pay $15/year for all that. And I don't even post that much.

    Agreed.

    I liked the last one we had. Simple, classy, easy to read.

    Yea, I'm not too sure what people are talking about in this regard. I like it, very modern.
