Do you have problems, concerns or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.
I liked the blood, but I respect your concerns. :)
Bold seems like a good compromise. It's simply a matter of changing the class from normal-bold-blood to normal-bold, but I can mark it up tonight. Depending on additional comments we receive, I might move the posting box back over at the same time.
What if the posting box was centered on the page like the "Buffistas Home | FAQ | How-To | Etiquette | About | E-mail Admins" thingie just above it? Would that work for everyone?
Centering to the line of links would be perfect, those come up centered on my machine.
I can deal either way, but if we're getting a choice, centering works. I like that design, becuase the horizontal line just below the posts gives the eye the expectation that things could change. The link bar looks just a tad odd being the only thing centered.
Yikes! For about 4 or 5 minutes, I couldn't connect to any part of Buffistas.org -- message center, main page, etc. -- and when I did, I got this message:

There has been an error. It's of the type we call fatal. Please don't be scared. You're not the one that's going to die.
Okay, where the $$&#&(@#& are the developers?
Yeah, me too:

Also, I'm not sure how I feel yet about the moved posting box -- change is hard! -- or the colored thread name. I LOVE having the thread name there, though.
Yeah, same here.
Ditto for me.

God I love this message. Can I use it in my own software?
Likewise, on the errors.
Add me in. IE 5.5 on Win98 on a dial-up server (love surfing from home)
Those errors mean that either the database server went down, or the host dropped the connection to it.
Making note, keeping track, and noticing I'm always working during those errors. Maybe it's my attention that keeps Hostrocket running.
