I've made some changes to the top portion of the forum pages. These changes have been reviewed and are ready to migrated to the forums.

These changes will be 'lived' on the forums this afternoon.

No, this does not get rid of the big ad; however, it cleans up the boxes as well as changes the order of the items at the top. It puts the links and such closer to the messages. These changes are all based on suggestions from people such as Slaine, the moderators, and several others. I believe it already addresses The Hobo's recent suggestion as well.

These changes don't do everything I'd like to see done, but they are an improvement (in my opinion). I'll continue to see what I can do to implement a few other 'fixes' that have been suggested.

Brad!
