I’ve redesigned the main boards.ie page, and so far it has met with a very positive response. The new style is based on an old vBulletin stylesheet, and therefore it matches the forums section that little bit better. Still to do: I must adjust the templates of the news / chat / links / web sub-sections to use the new style. Respect to FreaK_BrutheR for his immortal “boardsmen” graphics.

Hey Cloud,
Nice one on chaging the homepage for boards, it looks really nice. Keep up the good work.

Nice work on the WordPress blogs too. Can we upload themes ourselves, or do we need admin assistance?
I guess I’ve answered this on boards.ie, but there are now 10 themes for you to choose from. Go to your wp-admin area, click on Manage and then Themes.
Unexpected bonus! I never really planned on having a blog, but this is just crying out to be used… thanks Cloud!
