Additional Notes: I absolutely this forum. Firstly i love the whole forum image and identity you have successfully created, making it appear as though this forum is relaxed, inviting and a joy to spend your time at. All this from what the skin and its banner screams to you, is surely a sign of the great job the skin develop has done here. I also like how you have successfully intergrated vB Advanced CMPS into the site to make use of your Aricles and Reviews, it works really well and looks like a customized commerical script

My only quiry is that for those running the skin with the sidebar you have the scroll to the right of the page to view the end user options such as access to the User CP, and other basics too. Perhaps you could reduce the skin width for this version so that the sidebar isnt so out of the way? You have got everything sorted out skin, and development wise i guess the next focus should be to improve activity and member participation. Try organising a selection of competitions, where the winner gets a skin designed by you, seriously, i would join and jump a thousand hoops to get that opportunity

Thank you for the full review.
As for sidebar, I do have a version without it, which you can choose at the bottom of the page.
Any hints you have toward getting members? I am good with photoshop and notepad (as in coding), but I just can't advertise...

[Michael]

Ah yes, i forgot about the sidebar-less version.
But it would be nice for the sidebar to be more prominent.

As for getting members i recommend indirect site promotion, where you become respected with the graphic community. This helps get members who are actually more likely to post and be active out of respect of your talents!

Just revamped the style. I thought it would be better for me to just bump this up for the reviews.

After reading the review I've joined. Glad to see that the validation string in the registration wasn't one of those impossible ones that take a stack of attempts to get through. Thanks - I'm looking forward to reading my way through the threads there.
