Okay, I updated the site as everyone can see. I will continue to post in here all the tweaks I do and changes.
So far:
Established a domain name: We can now be located at texansgridiron.com
I completely scrapped the last design as I really hated it. It always felt too cramped and dark. I opened up the board where it just feels like we have more room, and I brightened it up quite a bit.
I like the flow of the board now, it's my personal opinion but it just feels so much better.
I am planning a new logo that will replace the current one and feature our more solid players (aka Andre Johnson). I am open to suggestions on logos though if anyone has any.
Be honest as this is our board, let me know what you guys think as we move along.
Also just as a heads up if your signature is not the appropriate size i.e. 800X100 I will be deleting it. I really want to keep the signatures uniform as it looks way more attractive than having different sizes. On the plus side of this if you want a signature made I can make ya one to accomodate the size requirements, just send me a pm.

i agree with the site looking better this way. We still have a bit to go, but my thinking is this will be the primary layout.

nice work so far bro. I like the new white background for the actual message board but I'm not sold on the light greyish background behind it. It just looks a little bland to me...what if you changed that to steel blue so we at least have a dark contrast there but kept the white for the boards so they stand out better against it? just an idea.

Ill give that a try and run it for 24 hrs or so and see what everyone thinks. I'm at work this week so the changes will be after 6 pm sometime. I didn't get to finish the logo but I will work on it a bit each day this week.

hmm....the background color still looks the same on my screen (light bluish grey). I deleted my cookies and refreshed but it never changed. Am I doing something wrong?

I can't see the links just above the actual topics.... I think they possibly should be white in order for people to see them

Im not a big fan of the white personally, but mainly because I like darker colors, sigs just seem to blend in better with them. Also the blue background covers up the forum navigation links so you cant see them. Maybe you could try a medium grayish forum color with a Battle Red background.

Which links are you guys having trouble with? Are you guys not seeing the links with the texans logo background?
