This is the first time I'm viewing the website on 1024x768, and I immediately noticed how crowded the top bar looks with the addition of the xBox Live thing. I know there are still people viewing this site on 1024 and would just like to point it out.

Maybe we could take away the calender link and something like the iSpy feature to make it neater. Viper, is there any way you could pull up some statistics as to who still uses stuff like iSpy and all?

I'm not saying its overlapping each other... just seems very very cluttered, compared to when we first started using vB

scrolling through forum pages is all messed up now. Is that because of Austere's invisible posts, or is it a defect that just happened?

I rebuilt the thread counts, but it still shows up. I guess a 24 hour post mute is good enough for now..

The people's usernames in the forum, can they be overlayed with a graphic?

Moderators are red and female members are pink. Can you only change colours or can you overlay graphics?

Quiky had actually brought this idea up a little while back as like a donor feature and I'm not sure if we ever found an answer.

Forum issue - forum is being a bitch and keeps logging me out randomly

Quick forum suggestion - it would be nice if the "online" indicator was green instead of red. It would be more suitable I think.

i.e. what thread?

The forum clock seems to be running at least 2 minutes fast. I keep seeing posts with a time that is quite a way ahead of the actual time.

If you scroll to the bottom of this page, the current time is listed and it does seem to be ~2 min fast. I'll bug Quiky.
