New Template
You might have noticed that we are sporting a new template, this new template is to help make the site better, by reducing the load on the server and delivering a better look for mobile devices.
There are a few bugs that I’m going to fix over the next wee while, namely the menu and logo locations and the forum's new post box, if anyone else spots a problem please met me know.

1) in the new stories tab, it might better to have just one line between each title instead of two, it would make it better fitting with the forum tab;
2) in the message compser for the forum the avaible moticons are now displayed vertically, which is weird;
3) I'm not sure if the header is supposed to look that off center or is my monitor.

1. the respond to forrum pages is listing all the smiles in a single vertical line which is a small thing.
2. This is a style thing The logo is good. I don't deny that-however it doesn't really fit the format anymore. I would redesign it to fit the smaller space at the top it has. Right now it just looks werid.

Also the drop down menus are no longer at the top of the screen when you scroll down through a thread.
When you are done reading you have to scroll all the way back up again to access the menus.

The menu is now in it's final position, some design work will happen there, the issue with the forum will be resolved soon, again it's a css conflict with the template, the mouse over on story titles will also be sorted soon, again it's a css conflict (see the pattern developing)
I’ll also implement a new story editor soon as I’ve had a number of complaints about how poor it is.
One thing I have to say about the new template is the speed it loads and the ease of reading input boxes and the stories, it's a good template just needing tweaks.

You might want to take a look at the paypal module, it just went all over the place.

1) the front end editor layout is a bit screwed
2) the front end editor doesn't save the changes
While the first isn't much of a problem, the second one is a bit problematic.
Also the new menu bar tend to hide the first couple of line of the first post, not much of a problem, but I thought it was worth reporting.

on the menu covering the top's of forum posts, it's something that would require extensive changes and more time than i have, so at this time i'm not going to do anything, thanks for letting me know about the bug.
