The lighting/stripes/idk effect you did looks great, but it's kind of odd how it just stops to the sides. Not sure how easy it is to give the entire background that effect, but for me that'd make the site look a lot better. I'm loving the looks of the site though, the online tags as well. Great update Adam!
Can we have a colour selector on the quick reply box, having my signature blue colour in the full editor is somewhat annoying. Also, same with thinks like img, url, smileys etc
In terms of layout my wishlist is. - New logo - Thinner index, like on old DD and Artangle - 100x100 limit to avatars - Custom buttons to match the theme
Functionality -link open in new tab as mentioned above. -A "view new posts" tab that displays new posts from the last 24 hours.
And as tuna said just some additions to the bbcode interface.
can we merge the artwork/photography section with the photoshop/rendering section? I don't think either section is going to that active especially the photoshop one, just a section called "artwork" would be good I think
also I think the demonbot should be added as a smiley
Also yeah neither of those sections were very active on DD. Should prioritize streamlining the forum over making everything as identical and homely as possible.
