Yeah, right now I am just expirementing with the ad placements and sizes. When I started designing the sponsors boxes, I started out small and will probably revert to that design, but I wanted them to stick out and catch everyone's eyes. I think I made a mistake in doing that though. I'll see where I go and post a new update here soon.

A work in progress
I've not yet converted all the images over yet. Actually, I haven't even messed with any of the actual buttons yet, just the main skin as far as graphics and colors go.

To be fixed...I had it shortened and all in a footer box which will most likely be fixed and reverted back to the original footer I had set. It looked a lot better and fit the template better.

But if you use them, make sure to be a little consequent with them. the radius of the corner of the category header is imho too big. And I think each category should have rounded corners on the bottom aswell. similar to the dell boxes.

Very true. When I started the template I wanted round corners, but my mind wanders
a lot when I'm in photoshop and the header image warped into square corners. I will most likely stick with the square corners and change the forum category images to square corners. Oh, and I am also working on images for the bottom of the forum categories
Thanks for the comments though. As I stated in my first post, it's in very early stages and I don't expect it to be finished for a while. I am planning on designing it and putting it up for sale, but I'm not positive yet.
