    The colours of the forum can be chosen from a colour wheel in vb4
    You could make a parent template and the give it child versions with different colours (I think... I don't use it) if I'm right, it would take very little time or effort to do!

    Marco, have a look here at the catergories http://www.realphotographersforum.co...-features.html

    That should give you an idea of how you could organise articles etc ...

    I've recategorised my content after blabbing on about how good it is here!

    Hey, wow, no ... not pish at all. I like the 'new forum posts' on the Wigwam homepage - I go to a lot of threads there that I wouldn't otherwise because of those. It's good intra-forum advertising!

    And, yeah, going back to the original post - there's still way too many pishy stickies on AoS! I just skim over the damn things!
    Generally speaking, it seems to me, that threads should look after themselves - if they are popular they will stay at the top, if not then no-one wants to contribute to them anyway! There will be exceptions, of course, but not as many as there currently are!

    Hi guys, I've found this 'new look' discussion interesting - I know I'm a 'newbie' here but maybe I can help out somewhere along the line, a freebie for AoS of course and nothing expected in return.

    I've been a Graphics guy for 15 years in 2D & 3D so if I can help in any way, just give us a shout.

    Just an idea but I've had a quick play with the header AoS banner and thought I'd post it:

    Nice work Anthony. I think in the past the Marco has been encouraged to look at a "re-brand", but I think he is rather fond of the current style. I guess it is a big decision to make when people have got used to a certain scheme and style, but I'm sure it will be considered with the good grace in which it has been offered. Thank you.

    Thank you, although I hope my post didn't come across as 'sticking my nose in', the banner was just an idea, not a 'use this' kind of thing.

    I like the ethos and already I can see there are lots of friendly genuine good guys here at AoS and would like to contribute to the forum in a way that I can - So if you need any graphics or anything related, I'd be more than happy to help.

    Ta,

    Hi Ant - didn't for one minute think you were sticking your nose in - your enthusiasm and kind offer have been very much noted I'm sure!

    Thanks for your concept Ant, it looks really modern and real, it doesn't look like a computer rendering at all!

    When we refreshed the banner a year ago we wanted to keep a slightly retro-look, and tie the images back to gear owned by members, and pictures taken by members. It was a conscious thing. That's not to say that there might not be a more dramatic rebranding at some future point

    That's a relief, thanks Alex.

    Thanks for your compliments on the render Nick, much appreciated. It's nice to see the member tie, makes it feel all homely
