    Changed the site to fixed width 990 pixels. This should address issues of people having to scroll to the right if their browser isn't wide enough.

    Added all the smilies from the old S2 site.

    Added links to the major sports forum listings to the home page

    Modified Sportsbook so submenu links show up on leaderboard page, and leaderboard now shows everyone who's made at least one wager.

    The site width is still a problem.

    Also, the white background looks horrible. I'd change the white background to the same color that it is in the post boxes. Mess around with that a bit, and get a softer looking site. The white sticks out harshly.

    How is the site width a problem? Describe it.

    It just doesn't cover the entire page. It does on the main page, but not in actual threads.

    looks like your screen resolution is 1024x768 (see the image you posted, it's size is 1024x768)

    This thread is not a good one to see if the new width is proper.

    Let me know if the home page or other threads work better now.

    Really? I still have some space, but I guess it's fine.

    You'll have space if your browser is wider than 960 pixels

    I adjusted it so it's 95% width, dynamic, so you can use a much wider browser window in big screens. If it forces you to scroll right and you can't make your browser wider, please let me know.

    I also adjusted some of the fonts bigger. This affects many of the sportsticker pages. Most browsers have a feature that lets you reduce the font sizes all over the page - in firefox hit the control key and minus key at the same time. Use this to fix the rendering of those pages (for now).

    Configured and turned on IPB Portal Page (S2 Portal). Button on the left side of pages, and underneath the site logo at top of pages.

    Fixed the thread display and new post pages so they now display the team's header at the top and league menu on the left. That is, in (say) a Portland Trailblazers thread (or replying to one), it shows the Blazers' title/logo and team links at the top and the NBA buttons on the left.

    This is handy, now you can right click and open these in a new tab or window to do research while reading or posting.

    I did this live on the site after 3AM ET, so hopefully nobody really saw all the error pages that came up while I was figuring stuff out [​IMG]

    Updated the NBA Standings page (Forums list) to include links at the top to the NBA General (and other similar non-team) forum and added forum display at the bottom for those forums, too.
