I've been using this site since 2000 (4 years!) and the main attraction was always the latest forum posts on the home page.
Viewing the news page you won't find it, but we can tweak it so you still see the forum posts on the news pages. I've not seen that request yet so I'll add it to the list of things to change if I hear another person second the notion.
Whoever approved these drastic layout changes ... congratulations. It is you who has sealed the fate of this site...
In essence, it's the other way around really. We asked the community several times over and over for a new header, color scheme, and overall layout that would work without breaking xoops. Not one person stepped up to the request until we already finished it. The only person who offered is "im>be", after making the attempt to contact him though I never heard another word. The lack of response could be my fault as my email server was a bit flakey around that time. Since we didn't have anyone willing to help us, one of the developers put a header together. We could not use the old header system (not just graphics) due to the new template system Xoops2 uses.
Feel free to add comments though. Regardless of the content, it's always constructive unless the post is nothing but trolling.
