It looks pretty good.

We going with the same forum categories then?
Beejazz's Homebrew System
 Beejazz's Homebrew Discussion

QuoteI don't believe in it anyway.
What?
England.
Just a conspiracy of cartographers, then?

The categories will be very similar. There are going to be a few changes as I combine and/or split up some categories to better streamline things. I will also be archiving a couple categories inside an archive section (the CeBeGia and Fantaseum sections for example). This is to simplify things and to archive old and unused (but possibly still read from time to time) areas.

Looks great.  Nothing to complain about (that I wouldn't feel worse complaining about than just dealing with, cause they aren't real issues)

Feel free to tell me, I won't hold it against you. Depending on what it is I may or may not be able to fix it but I would love to work with you in figuring it out if possible. Even if it's just a stylistic thing, it will give me an idea of what works and doesn't.

Change scares me.

Get off my lawn!

(Looking good.)

Well, the "list" function takes slightly more work, requiring "[li][/li]" tags for each line instead of just "*".  Again, not a real issue.  Would feel really petty to make an issue of it.

I also just as a personal preference think a darker blue for the banner would be cool, from a "looks" point of view, even though the current blue is closer to what we have always had.

Actually, I thought of something else more substantive:  The posting interface has Font Size and Font Color buttons, but no actual FONT button.  Now, if I manually type in bb code for font=whatever it WORKS, but there isn't a button to press, and no list of fonts that are available.

I expected the Homebrews forum to be above the Campaign Elements and Design one
Oh, how we danced and we swallowed the night
For it was all ripe for dreaming
Oh, how we danced away all of the lights
We've always been out of our minds

Yeah, the CBG's all about the Homebrews IMO. It offers more, but I'd say that's gotta be flashy.

Site looks good, some people might come up with the question; what does CBG mean, though. As it is now at least.

Ah yes, I removed the font button (there was one) because it didn't seem to get enough use to rate it's own button (there are actually a number of bbcodes without buttons which I was going to create a guide for). If you guys think that you'll use the font bbcode enough to need a button I can of course put it back in. Let me know if so.

That's just a result of how the forum transfer software works. I'll make a note though to make sure that I restore the order of the categories when we have the final transfer :)
