    Hope I managed to get everything. Including the new posts button.

    For the curious I have attached the large "ADDICTBUTTON!"

    Been spending a lot of time in the style manager I *really* didn't like updating 4 different styles (only two of which were used)

    Found this one... Feels clean. No more of that depressing "slate on grey no href color" nonsense.

    Nice one.

    Slightly confused me as I was mid browse when the changes happened.

    Very 2009 tho!

    I like! I had set my preferences set so that I was seeing the "stock" theme and I was surprised to see the change, but it looks good.

    5 "converts" down... 500 to go...

    To keep myself sane during this little escapade I reworked the index page.

    Assuming you run across anyone who is on the fence about the layout... show them that. When I found the original video I had to clean a rapidly expelled soda off my monitors.

    Hahaha! Ok, that was funny. Now you need to render it up like a Half-Life promo.

    Your good man, really. Just the "Man behind the curtain" pressing buttons with reckless abandon. It happens every so often... Most of the button presses are transparent to the site functionality but thats *really* hard to do when changing a theme.

    what would be cool as an index page would be a laser puzzle to solve for enter, like some game I already played

    prisms, mirrors, dichros, and lasers

    but it is not very feasible

    I like it very much .... give yourself a 10W 445nm laser module


    as mentioned in the previous post though .... some of us sometimes do enter via the index page ... ( me when im using a hotel internet terminal and all boozed up ... and cant remeber the full forum url )

    and i guess there may be some new visitors that may just type in photonlexicon.com

    all the best ... Karl

    Nice layout, and it's good that hyperlinks show up too. But the mini version of the large addict (melee?) button looks like a geeky dude with glasses.. how appropriate!

    Any chance that video is still around for those of use not fortunate enough?

    This white is giving me eyestrain. Could we have white on black instead? Way more readable, plus it would give pictures a better contrast.

    ...and I think the layout shows how advertising can be done subtley without getting in the way with the format of this forum.

    The header ad is bad enough but the "second post inline ad" is far from subtle.

    I might try to setup ads or something for non registered / not logged in guests but thats something I really have to think about. What would it say to potential "Addict Button!" users if their first impression is getting a face full of advertisements?
