Here it is !

It is not yet complete - hopefully by Monday it will be. I have a pretty busy weekend though 😛

There may be some formatting issues and other minor glitches. I also havent settled on the color scheme yet.

Give it a look and see what you think.

If you are using Firefox, it won’t look right unless you are on 1.0.

If you have ever left a comment on the site before, it automatically registered you. However, since we are on a new system, you will need to put in the username or email you used and then request your password since it was generated randomly.

When you register and log in, you get some added functionality. For example, I may post a contest and set it to be viewable only to website members.

You also get a nice little interface where you can keep notes or anything else.

The registration is pretty neat. It will also let advertisers gauge how many visitors we have, which always helps.

I don’t like it.

Reasons being, 1.0 looked so professional and nice.

This looks like an amateur (sp?) job at making a website. Plus the banner is really iffy looking.

This is just my opinion though.

Looks alright. We’ll see how the finalized version looks.

You couldn’t just allow forum users to post comments using their forum id?

Of course forum users can post using their forum ID. You just need to register it on the site, since they are two different things as the site isnt run off of phpBB.

You should have an option for white or orange, that way everyone is happy.
