Now as the website is new, some observations if I may. Please take them as constructive criticism, maybe no one else agrees, but my opinion anyway.

- I've noticed, when you open a thread, its a bit hard to tell between one post and another. There is only a different shade of grey to delineate posts, and with signatures etc, its not so obvious. A line or a break point or something similar perhaps?

I agree with you 100% percent - i'm currently working on improving this flaw

- The Avatars/members details ets are on the right of the post. The text of the post starts from the left, but the details are on the right. It doesn't seem to flow and breaks with the convention of the remainder of the site.

For our website i'm using PHPBB3 source code, by default the design of the avatar and the post info block is to the right. theoretically, i should be able to locate the code and modify accordingly.

- the threads in a folder aren't in chronological order, ie the most recent post are part way down (maybe this one is a problem with migrating the files accross from the old site, I dunno)

The arrangement is as follows:
Fist block: announcements
Second block: Stickies first then they are followed by posts. look in the icon of the topic to tell the difference.

Anybody have opinions on the above?
Other than that, I think its great! (I voted not bad for the above reasons)

the only problem i do have, is finding the new posts, a flashing icon is not the best in my eyes , i like the way it was before with the font being white when a new post was done, easier to read and find,

otherwise guys you have done an awesome job and it is great to have the site back up and running,
and the members of the club should take u for a night out as a thankyou

Small issue only, i think the search engine is not working, i tried many times with deferent words and i always receive a message saying "The following words in your search query were ignored because they are too common words"...etc.

thanks
