Had not been on there for a little while and must admit it all seems to work well now, my only comment would be on the size of the print on the subject page, fortunately I have a fairly large screen moniter but would be hard put to read it on a lap top - and my sight isn't all that bad

Looks nice, reminds me that we really must get round to doing some graphics etc of our own that we've been threatening to do for the past year
Whatever happened to those classy banners you created Andrew? I know there're around in a thread somewhere...

What, this:
May need to change "The forum for Citroen Xm enthusiasts"
any comments as I'll happily work something up?

Maybe some colour in the Xm car image may set the style apart now from the "other place"

Moody and arty possibly...

Noz explains in this thread how you can change back to the old skin (appearance) if you don't like the new look.......

I haven't tried it myself yet, so I don't know if it works.

How about "The Citroen XM forum"
Don't change it too much Andrew, it looks great

I'm only suggesting changing the subtitle copy to say the same thing differently!
It's obvious this is a forum so why signpost it? Resource is about right for the collective
wealth of knowledge/experience on here too.
I've tried a coloured version of the side profile and it's not a patch on the one shown above.
If that looks OK to everyone I'll pop a umlaut on the E for a finished version but did wonder
if the copy will change a bit? It takes some sad trickery to sit the "CITROEN" square under the
large "Xm" above it!

Nice, and there's nothing wrong as such with either. But what if you retained the (rather less pompous?) T H E
...F O R U M
...F O R...etc. and made the Citroën logo full depth? Then, I reckon its jobbed.... Also I agree - why introduce colour, because it's so specific and frankly detracts from the lines of the XM - which is what I guess was the purpose. Otherwise you'll get people asking for blue estates et al...
