The site will have two different looks as of now.

The www side of the site has the black theme, while the forum side has the white theme. We may play with the themes down the road, but for now, it's black and white.

Now since the main page is black and the forum part is white are you guys going to change the forums to black also?

Personally I don't much like the white forums but I think that if everything was black it would look much more refined and not cheap (white forum).

The themes are not as easy to adjust as you may imagine. We are running two separate sets of software for the www and forum side, the themes aren't easily swappable.

Sounds like folks are digging the new look - rad!

After the holidays I'll start messing w/ the forum look and feel. Something a lil more sinister looking, judging by the comments :friday: :excited: :cheers:

New search integration features are now live :friday: Searching in either search bar via the header will pull results from both worlds :work:

Still working on the look 'n feel, but functionality is mostly all there...


Enjoy :flex dirty:

In case anyone would still like to utilize the forum-only search feature, it is still available on the menu-bar under the top banner.

This change of the main search bar was to help unite the black side of the forum to the white side. This will become increasingly helpful as we expand the www side of the site.

Ooops. That's the one I was testing. Not the one at the extreme top of the page. Sigh.....

So it's the FORUM-ONLY search that is ignoring the word "teebes".

Are you reading the message it returns? There is a reason it's not returning any results.

The useful error message only happens if you enter ONE too-common word and it returns zero results. Try searching for the four words "teebes is a goof". It will give hits for "goof" and just tell you it's ignoring the other three words without giving a reason.
