Forum looks great. Good work. But I would fix the title length rule. 10 char is a bit much.

Ok, done that. It's now 5.

Yeah it looks really good.
You should consider a shout box.

A shout box? I could add one but I'm not sure if it is Professional.

Oh, you want this to be professional... lol, kidding. I just think shout boxes are fun.
For less than serious conversations.
Maybe in off topic?

I think the shout box will go on top of the forum if I install it, I doubt that I can move it.

What is a shout box?

I'll put one up for a while so you can see.

Is there anyway to make the chat box a clickable thing? I find it somewhat distracts from the overall look of your website. What I mean is that when I first log on I just see this big square, not very visually appealing. Not trying to be rude, just giving my perception.

It looks good, plus it's good for those times when you don't want to wait for replies from someone who's online at the same time as you on a topic you would like to chat about at the moment. You know?

I'll remove it, I don't like how it doesn't blend into the rest of the site and doesn't look very professional.

This forum is pretty nice; you must've taken your time on it, Mark.

*Edit*
I've put my actual name in as new members will get confused.

Peace,

Alex

Thanks alex but it was easier than I expected, taking about 4 hours to make it functional. I'm still looking for ways to improve the forum though.

I like the new touch of the Globe. Looking good ...

I thought that it was appropriate considering. It will do until I complete the logo I'm working on.
