ive had vbulletin since 2001

i wouldnt say that i was a pro - far from it - but i knew the vb2 template system very well

vb3 somehow put vb2 to shame but as garth says in waynes world - 'We Fear Change!'

Anyways, heres the site, its actually my fourth vb3 forum on the web but its the first that ive done everything from start to finish.

www.gamblingboards.net

It isnt a big flashy design (i wish;)) and its still a little rough around the edges with regards to some of the icons etc but id love to hear any feedback on it - especially negative feedback as i genuinely want to improve it :)

Also - youll probably notice this, because i did and its driving me crazy cos i dont know why its doing it. Although its a green scheme, when the page is loaded, for a small split second it flashes the default blue scheme and then quickly goes back to green

Have i missed something in the css or something?

Cool stuff, it's a bit screwy in Firefox. From viewing the source, some of your code is commented out strangely. :/

got it fixed - i didnt realise how much mozilla hated commenting
any idea on why it flashes up the default colours before the page loads?

Becouse colors load faster then images :p.

Change the background colors to the same colors as your images and you are set to go =)

Looks pretty cool.. Right choice of colors for a gamboling site.. quick question, where'd you add the code to get the extra column on the left? I'd like to do that also..
