Hello everyone, glad to see you've found the place. Currently, I'm re-adding users to the database, so you should receive an email shortly with a randomly-generated password. Otherwise, leave comments below.

Thanks a lot for getting this, the forum looks great!

Here's some ideas real quick.

1. The title "ipodder" I don't know if it's meant to be, but being the lowest title almost sounds like an insult, in general it might offend some potential users.

2. The new site looks great too, but the logo is going off screen for me (1366*768).

3. The recent news reel on top looks good, though you may want to slow it down just a tad, I almost don't have time to read what's in the box before it goes to the next item. Though I do like how it stops when you mouse over. Also the text is going out of the boxes, so you may need to shrink those or make the boxes bigger.

Otherwise, it's great so far!

Guess I could throw in a couple more.

1. I would suggest removing the external links from the top of the main page, and replacing them with the internal links. Then add another page such as "Additional Resources". My reasoning for this is that by providing immediate connection to external sources discourages exploration of your own site. Also I think it would look better than having a row of links above and below the logo, it just makes it cluttered like that.

2. When you mouse over the individual news items on the ticker, it should jump directly to that item, which it doesn't currently.

3. Additionally, clicking the "ZiiEgg.com" banner here on the forums I think should take you to the main site, to give an easy way to transition between the two.

It was meant as a gentle prod, but I did change it to Zen MicroPhoto just in case

The fallacies of designing on a 1900x1200 screen. I'm moving stuff around and it should be up shortly.

See if that's better. It was because the text was too long for the box.

Otherwise, it's great so far!

Thanks, those changes work good now.
