Here's my list of things I'll be tweaking on the site, correct me if I'm wrong on any of these or if I'm missing any...

1) expanding the table atleast 300 pixels...
2) possibly enlarging the font 1-2pt...
3) add the 3d text effects for "twc" and "today" that are present in the forum logo to the site logo
4) curve the fade in the site logo a bit...

I think that's all... I'll start working on it tomorrow :)

Is it possible to have the table centered on the page like I stated in my earlier post?

I'm going to try and see how it looks... if the fade doesn't work with it centered, then no it most likely won't... I can't promise anything, but of course, I will try it.

I can't wait for the next update. :biggrin: I was going to mention increasing the font size, too; I'm glad you thought of that. :yes: And, wow, I can't belive you're able to do everything this quickly. Thank you! :)

Its really not terribly difficult. He could probably have it done sooner if he wanted to.

Alrighty... I've gotten the menu system expanded per Gary's wishes, and I increased the font... It's a start and I would like to know what everyone thinks so far.... I'm not done with the rest of the design yet, keep this in mind...

Should I made the menu hover a little darker also?

1) expanding the table atleast 300 pixels... expanded approx 227 pixels for a total of a 702 pixel width
2) possibly enlarging the font 1-2pt... font enlarged from 11px to 13px
3) add the 3d text effects for "twc" and "today" that are present in the forum logo to the site logo
4) curve the fade in the site logo a bit...
5) center the table to see how it works centering the table seems to have worked well... we shall see when I finalize the logo

going good so far... will continue tomorrow  :biggrin:

Looks good. For the table, I would go a little bigger actually, IMO.

I'm not going any bigger than 700 mainly because the average resolution of a person's monitor this day in age is 1024x768 and I don't want to make it look bad for those users.

I AM DONE!! IT'S COMPLETE!

I have finished the design update... I would like to get everyone's thoughts and things I should change before I ship the design off to Gary... I like it... If everything's good, I don't think I'll change much of anything for quite a while...  :yes:

Pending any suggestive changes that should be made to the design by request, this is the final draft and I will email the design off to Gary when I wake up.  :yes: Again, the url is http://jtmal.just-owns.eu
