Default Recent site updates

For those curious about what my work has been the last couple of days:

- Fixed front page Flash for IE users.
- Added META keywords to the front page.
- Removed unnecessary coding.
- Re-titled the site.
- Centered the forums banner.
- Removed that white line from the front page's Flash.
- Organized the forums a bit.
- Removed a bunch of pointless, unused and annoying forum options.
- Tweaked the layout's design.
- Added more words to the censor (mostly racial/ethnic slurs).
- Fixed up the banners and only kept a select few (each army only gets one, to be less biased).
- Re-worked the top 10 stats.
- Re-enabled the jump-to menu.
- And finally, gave input to Erus and Ikarus to remove the right navigation bar and reduce the gallery's thumbnails from 4 to 3.

There should be more touch-ups coming soon.

Dude.. Great and awesome work. I like the little things most,like that background you've put on all the site, etc.. The little bitty improvements are amazing. However, I'm going to start trying to more often mention the website on MySpace, in the forums I go to, etc.. I'll also see if I can get us a banner to put on facebook/myspace/live journal.

Very Well done, however, (I'm sure many people might agree) The LAYOUT of the top 10 stats is confusing due to us always having the threads on the right of it.. any possibility of a change back..? I'm not saying you need to re-clutter it, just move the thread section back to it's rightful place. =p

True.. I didn't mean SPAM. I just meant mention now and again. As it is, I post a bit here and there, but don't mention the site much. I suppose banners would be best though. Nothings worse than pushy adverts, and banners are a good and easy going way to advert.

Why is there only the top ten posters in the top ten? I like the background though.

I don't think that was any of us, probably just a general forum bug. It's correct now, though.

This is the 5th or 6th forum I've been an admin of since 1999, and in real life I'm a computer technician and web designer.

A few more site updates worth noting:

- Tweaked the layout a bit more (color alteration).
- Organized the forums more.
- Fixed a ton of forum typos.
- Removed unnecessary wording from forums (example: "Tau - Xenos").
- Added more slurs to censor.
- Added "In-Game Photos" to the gallery for those who take pictures of their mid-game battlefields.

And I assure you, WFB forums still exist, they've just been moved to the "Other Games" section where they should've been originally.
