The skin you have chosen (from bbskins.org?) is a nice one, I used to use a similar one for that XP kinda look, but it had many many bugs in it, including no-popups!

I have since changed to a vBulettin kind of look. I'm still hacking it about and making subtle changes, but I am the kind of person to be constantly updating / refining anyway!

BTW, I am using version 1.3, though it is not 'released' yet, it is still in beta stages, it is very good!

Stuart W do you have to download the invision power board forum to access it?

Not sure what you mean...

You can download it and install it, or you can use the on-line 'test' one.
The test one will give you access to the admin panel as if it was your own, so you can try most things out.

here is a link to the demo forum. Log in as admin with the passord admin to get access to the admin and mod panels.

But, to just access a IB forum, you don't need to download anything.

no problem, noticed your portal page so nabbed that idea ;)

[edit]Any ideas why it does not pick up cookies and auto log in, the login on the portal does not work either and I think the 2 are related???

Nice!! ;)

Yes, the two are related, it's down to cookies.

Make sure you insert your domain details in the Admin cookie panel.

I`m afraid the scores do not make too pleasant reading for the XBox and PS2 fanboys.

This was Site of the Month in Edge magazine at some point last year. :)

Umm.. I don't mean to be rude, but it hasn't changed much since I looked in August.

I like Monet myself & have a couple of prints hanging in the living room.
My favourite of your 'Engine Landscape' is number 9 :) Of your computer generated landscapes, 'Peace' my favourite. If you did some larger versions they would make very nice computer wallpapers.
