    I figured this would be a good way to get some quick and easy feedback from our members.

    Simply share one thing you think we can do to improve the site. It can be a simple or an elaborate response; anything and everything is welcome - a new feature, a change in structure or organization, or whatever crosses (or has crossed) your mind. :)

    Any way that you could reposition the "Semi Auto Rifles" banner? It just looks a bit out of place up there (in my opinion).

    Oh shoot, I thought you meant other's sites.

    Ok, for this site, the ad at the top would be nice if it was hangin outside on the right hand side, so as to keep the header nice and neat.

    Can you please elaborate? I am not sure I know where you mean on the right hand side.

    Same here. I don't see how it would fit outside of the main content table. :idk:

    Unfortunately this position was made available as an advertising slot and it has been sold for 6 months; so until then, we can't really even consider changing anything about it.

    Regardless, I don't think it's all-that-bad but I value your opinion so will take it into consideration. What would you suggest as an alternative advertisement slot that receives comparable levels of attention?

    I don't think that it should be moved, per say, but possibly modified to fit more "smoothly" into the background texture?

    Ah, I see what you mean. Perhaps a vignette that matches the header background color would be something to try? I'll look into it. :)

    I forget for the moment what the correct word for it is, but refer to my forum
    on the right hand side, outside of the body, there is a hanging ad.

    Yeah, I'm just a stickler for design, you don't necessarily have to move it, just make it blend better. You have such a nice layout, and the ad is kind of ruining it.

    Ah, I see now - a vertical ad instead of a horizontal one - a "hanging ad".

    I do like these, however I think for our site we wouldn't have the room to be able to put an ad like that. We have a sidebar and not much room elsewhere over there. That you for the idea, though.

    I'd like a welcome bar but I guess that's maybe because I'm used to it on my forums >__>


    (you could always make it so you can turn it off via User CP. I made a plugin for that on my forum if you're interested)
