    Looks good.</p>

    Any idea on what would appear in the bottom right corner of the front page?</p>

    Will team forums have the team's colours?</p>

    yeah, forums will be custom colors. I'm hoping we can add some video content and/or photos and that'll need room on the pages.</p>

    Just so everyone knows the process...</p>

    The designer made the page layout with a graphics program. Easy to move stuff around and try to get it the way we want. Once we approved it, he's been working on converting it to HTML. He's partway done with the home page, and a bit more of it has gotten done each day recently.</p>

    Once the home page HTML is done, I'll work on getting the home page converted over. It's not just putting up the skin, it's making all the bits of it work - like when you click on a tab.</p>

    The whole site is going to take some time to convert over. This isn't like a standard msg board (vb3, ipboards, etc.). We have all kinds of pages like stats and stories that need to be programmed to the new look. Bits and pieces of the pages will probably have the new look sooner than later.</p>

    I'm enthusiastic about the look and look forward to us enjoying it as part of the S2 experience as soon as possible.</p>

    You are looking at a hell of a lot more people joining this site if ahem* when that layout gets done. I like those mockups.</p>

    I'll try to add my input when i get time. Excellent job to all of you anyway. </p>

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Denny Crane)</div><div class='quotemain'>

    My take is</p>
    1. The menus may not fit when we get all the sports we plan.
    2. It's missing the top story. I want to replace the one top story with a fader that dynamically changes the top story every 5-10 seconds so we can have more than one.
    3. Top story needs "comments" kind of display. We want to encourage people to read and post.
    4. Points/Income/Sportsbook and other leaders could be in a fader type thing as well.
    5. I like the site stats top right. First thing people want to do is evaluate how big the site is and decide if it's worth their while to see what the buzz is.
    6. The team selector is awesome. It needs a tab system to choose the sport you want to select a team from.
    7. It's missing "members viewing this page."
    8. No login/register button.
    9. The Recent Activities should also be tabbed: global/whole site, NBA, NFL, etc.
    10. We want to promote blogs. So a bit to show the latest blog is missing.

    </p>

    </div></p>

    </p>

    I really like #9.</p>

    The Recent Activities really need to be sorted into catagories.</p>

    Really nice job!</p>

    </p>

    Also, you should have Special Mods for every board. So it could be more organized. That's how it's done on other Forums.</p>

    Just a Suggestion.</p>

    i like how everything looks</p>

    and btw, i love the "christian group to honor vick" headline, i'm surprised no one has commented on that.</p>

    and the "where's the rest of me?" & "three-on-three nba" article is priceless. never read that before.</p>

    and it's interesting to see how every post is post #5. how did that happen?</p>
