Well, new year, snazzy new layout~
Hiya, I'm Sazzy. I'm the person who went around, sneakily adding small subtleties to the site like the calendar entries and the default avatars, and generally I tend to lurk a lot and everything, so not seeing me is not big deal.
This new layout was created in six half-days (most of which were simply Ctrl+Z'ing like crazy trying to fix the colouring I screwed up on during the creation of the banner) all so that I could get the whole thing finished and hopefully cross-browser compatible before the new year. After all, the dawn of a new decade only does come once every ten years.
Sky helped me a lot with the photomanip'ing; she did all the prettyful effects on the banner that you can see on the homepage and the admin links to the left.
Obviously though, there are still a lot of faults with the layout; Sky and I spent quite a while trying to fix it so that it did work over different browsers, but so far it's only worked on Firefox (Netscape/Mozilla included), Chrome and the horrific IE. Safari and Opera seem to have seizures, even moreso on a Mac, but it seems okay. There's also another picture that's supposed to belong at the bottom of the page, but I gave up on drawing that one (god my inking sucked on the banner...).
Keep an eye out for more tweaks, more skins and more layouts in the future~
Sazzy

Meh, awesome as always, Saz XD I disappear for 2 hours plus and it's all done XO Anyway, we all hope you'd like the new layout. I'd really felt like plucking all my hair out to hide the stupid advertisement. Well, it all paid off! XD (Although it seemed like Saz did all the work) [/size]

Sankyuu, sankyuu~
...I wish C was here. I can predict what her reply to my first post would be immediately; predicting her is fun.
And when she gets back, she'll scream at me and use a few strikethroughs to tell me either that predicting her is not fun or tell me she doesn't appreciate me predicting her.
......I feel sleep-deprived..

Haha~
You know the theme is designed to be both user-friendly and connection-friendly? High contrast is always a must and only having two images is great for stupid people like me who use up their broadband and dial-up users, because the main problem with dial-up is that it tries to load every single image at once (our background is 1px high, so it's faster to load...).
Also, it doesn't happen to look so bad in Safari [Mac] after all~

If you keep predicting me, I'll bite you to death.
YOOOOOO! Ooh, nice site change xD I'm gone for FOUR days, and POOF the whole thing's changed completely ^^ I mentioned in another thread, but the layout the guests are viewing is still default. If possible, change it to something else? (But keep the default theme, please.)
Oh, about the banner, sorry, but it's too big. We can't have a banner half a page, ya know? Please like me *shot* are going to have scroll a long way till we get to the forum part xD Maybe shorten it by...half? Also, I didn't see the banner as a guest. I don't know if that was just me (I'm using I.E. because it's my dad's laptop).
Oh, yeah, someone explain the Kanji next to our names? I feel left out of this discussion xD(Perhaps that's why this is so long) but you must listen to my ramblings now xDD Anyway, I have a wedding to attend tomorrow ^^ So see you in the afternoon?
P.S. I love this hotel. It has free internet. AND it's pretty quick too. Hmm, on second thoughts, I hate this hotel. Facilities are bad xDD Oh, and the phone doesn't work half the time. ^^

The kanji are absolutely random stuff that Saz told me to add ^^ Well, it's only for the main page that the banner is put, so on the other pages, it doesn't really affect much, no?
I'll make the default theme the one with the banner. ^^ And, you see you get to see how much effort we worked on it. I swear, I could have died just thinking of what to do with the advertisement. [/size]

See, told'ja so~
Actually, it's a global theme. Ahaha...but it only appears on all pages that aren't forum topics, so it's not as restricting or anything overwhelming like that.
Edit: Forgot to mention, but guests can actually see the theme; how else do you think I was able to get that Mac data?

Course guests can see the theme! Still looks the same as the original. And shut up xD I mean...Mu.
The banner's still too big. Can't you make it the size of a big siggy? (Also, I tend to go on the main page an awful lot xD)
