Oooh!! 180x180 avatars!

They look BIG. With some users still using small avatars, the big ones don't really fit into the layout. Maybe maxing them out at 150x150?

100x100.

EDIT: Or whatever they were just set to, good size, man, good size.

Now back to 120x100

I'm monkeying around with things at the moment

If anybody wants to point out anything they feel needs changing in the NTSC- Fluid theme now, go for it.

[briareos_kerensky]

I wouldn't go past 120x120 for avatars.
For the theme, the sub-forum names should either be bold or with a drop shadow, not both. Thread with new replies should have darker icons to be better in line with sub-forum icons and to give readers an idea on which threads have been updated at a glance.

I'm still not liking the ultra-wide posts.

[EvilBoris]

There is a smaller version to choose from too, I've just updated that to match the main one

I've made those changes, how does that look now?

Fixed width is indeed nicer.

Any chance the outer sky blue border can be changed to #000000 black?

[EvilBoris]

I've just done that, looks nice with the logo and the top bit, but with the rest of the blue it looks a bit weird to me.

Sexy.

[EvilBoris]

That's the kind of advice I need!

The italic comic-sans-a-like font in quote blocks looks nasty. The letters don't line up properly.
