We're definitely a good team on this. I know what functionality I want to exist, and you know how it SHOULD look. You show me how it should look, then I put on the geek hat and make it happen.

I keep going back to the homepage simply because I'm so totally tickled with your layout. Damn, it's nice!!! The old one looks like it was done by a kindergartner, by comparison. I made some subtle changes to it, like using a little less vertical space for the cell title on the lower half, and including more subscribers and hot boards in those lists. Currently the "Ge the same features and privileges" isn't visible without scrolling down (in 800x600 view), but I think it will be once I've finished changing the top menu. The current location of the menu buttons is eating up too much vertical screen space for now. Am even considering changing the homepage 336x280 ad to 300x250 to free up some more vertical space and because it's proving really tough to not make it look "wrong" when a 300x250 agency ad gets displayed in a 336x280 iframe. Iframes can be a real bear. I used to display the subscriber and hot board lists using iframes that called separate routines, but I could get them to look right visually, so I ended up putting that code right in the homepage rather than calling the code in an iframe.
