Banner needs to be different than the Forum page button. It... doesn't work.

I'm not seeing any difference... Is it only the original forum look that's changing.

I'm still using the default one that came with the upgrade...

Yeah, you have to edit the different styles seperately. Since subsilver2 seems to be the favorite, that's the one I was playing with.

Not redone. I just force switched the entire thing to the subsilver2 style (before, you could choose between it and a different style). Why? Because SS2 is the style prefered by the majority of members and I've started to give it a more PVish appearance, as opposed to the other style which is just generic right now.

Anyone remember how, back before the forums were switched from Invision to phpBB, we used to have subforums (for instance, ROM, and OOC were subforums of RPs, instead of being its own section). Well, I think this version of phpBB supports subforums. So, anyone have an interest in them coming back? Or are you happy with how things are organized now?

I've actually gotten completely used to this format - I think it's a little easier, you know? If I want to check for new posts in the IPA section, I don't have to go into Game Time and then to the IPA Section; the IPA section's just... right there. I think the forum's divided up enough already that it's organized, and this kind of seems more convenient.

Anyone else have opinions on the matter, though? Subforums were kinda cool in the case of ROM and OOC being off-shoots of the RP section...
"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.

Subforums are neat 'n' all, but I'm so used to this way that they'd probably just counfuse me.
