None of the links on the main page do anything...they all take you back to www.ppcgeeks.com page or the Sprint Touch Pro 2 Specs released post e.g. Carriers, Devices, General buttons, plus anything under the Recent Commnts section.

forum.ppcgeeks.com seems fine though.

Try doing a refresh, because that logo is no longer in use...

This is pretty rough, all the room on both sides of the forum page.

Please say, "No".

I like this, but something tells me you're not going to keep it this way. Also, is the user's reputation going to reside on the right-hand side of the screen?

Many thanks for creating, designing and maintaining such a wonderful site!

I forgot about the stupid names for Thanks and the reputation lol. I will be fixing those.

As for the skinniness, yes, it was supposed to be that way. We might be able to make it a little wider, but it will be a fixed width no matter what.

EDIT: And as far as the buttons go, I might try finding another set of buttons, but most of the ones I've tried haven't been 100% transparent for some reason

Same. I'm running dual monitors and they are both widescreen (16 inch and 22inch) and on both of them there is wayyy to much empty space. When I go to usercp I can't even see any updates without scrolling down.

Ps. Mod's sorry about making a new thread about this, I just wasn't sure if my personal opinion fell under Please ONLY use this thread to let us know if you have a FUNCTIONAL issue with the new style and upgrades.

No problem. I just didn't want pages upon pages of "i like it" and "i hate it".

I'm on a 17" widescreen laptop and I know I have some unused space too. Lots of sites seem to use this though (WMExperts, Engadget-although their's is a little wider).

I know Engadget uses a %-width. I think changing the width to like 85-90% would give it the look you're going after, but still allow the site to be a bit more user friendly.

Yea, I guess that would have turned into that.
My biggest issue with this layout is having to scroll down to see the thread updates in the UserCP...;

A % width would be great, but could cause problems with the logo over-running the search box and stuff like that... Especially when browsing from phones. But wider than current would be a HUGE plus.

BTW, Frosty, don't take any of this as complaints or "hurry ups" The site really does look great, just needs some minor tweaks.

I totally agree. We aren't bashing your work. Just trying to help fine tune it.
