Not to be pushy (I know the forums haven't been up for too long yet), but could the links that appear on the dark red background (the breadcrumbs and the page numbers in threads/forums) be changed to light gray/white? They're rather hard to read at the moment.

Also, any idea why the people's post counts are all 0?

Yup, that one is easy: like we did it on the old forums, we dont want people to post for Rank, and have the forums filled with one-liner replies stating "I agree"......
So all sections have their counters blocked.

I agree.

In that case is it possible to get rid of the post count under our names? I'm a fan of keeping things as simple as possible and all these new nibs and bobs are rather distracting. For all its faults, the old SG forums software did have a sort of simplistic elegance to it.

Also, be aware that the link colour is universal across the boards. For example, the black text which clicks orange as a link is at the top of the page, where it is difficult to read. But, exactly the same setting is used for the 'Quote' link at the top of each post. So, if I change the black text to be easy to read on a red background, it becomes difficult to read on the pale blue/grey colour in the post box.  :P

Adding a grey box behind the link tree would solve that.

Continuing that. The 'Member' tag and stars aren't needed and the online graphic could be moved down to the bar with the other graphics to save space.

Could we get bigger avatars?

Do you have the option of adding custom CSS rules CS?

div.nav a, td.middletext a { color: #eee; }
div.nav a:hover, div.nav a:focus, div.nav a:active,
td.middletext a:hover, td.middletext a:focus, td.middletext a:active  { color: #fff; }

That should do it without changing the other link colors.

Is there anything that can be done to separate better visually separate posts, like a border around posts?

The old boards used to have different background colors for odd and even posts I believe.

All that should be possible I believe, I know I've messed with things like that on my forum.

What about a trades thread? With SG stuff now rather fiddly to buy direct (and with some of it unavailable) it might be a useful addition.

i think that would only work if the site accepts PayPal  like eBay does, otherwise i worry about scams

I was thinking of something along the lines of the trades section on The Warhammer Forum/Warseer - i.e. something to hook people up rather than centralising sales through the forum.
