WRXAtlanta.com v7 (and no it isnt windows)

Well with the new year and all that mumbo jumbo it is time to begin work on version 7 of our community. Before you jump to conclusions, this is version 7 because the version we are all currently using is 6. This has nothing to do with windows 7 (have to stress this for the IT nerds).

I am curious to hear what everyone would like to see in this version as well as what they would like to NOT see. I am more than happy to design a "darkness" version of the v7 theme as well.

Here's what I want in the new version

• More streamlined header, drop from 100px to maybe 60px tall max. Remove ad from header.
• Use a smaller google ad (same size as the ad up top right now) and place the two ads horizontally beneath the new streamlined header
• Considering dropping some of the "new" vbulletin features that I, personally, think are dumb like the myspace style profile page...but that's why this thread exists. I may think it is dumb, maybe you love it.
• Speaking of social networking, we could set up the profile pages to include automatically parsed links to your facebook, myspace, girlsgonebad, etc social network
• Keep the blues, I love them. Drop the pure white background, reduce contrast a hair and increase overall appeal
• Push the thread tagging for improved search results
• Implement google search (each search pays the community a couple pennies)
• Re-worked footer, including links to updated Terms of Service, RSS/XML and finally figuring out this whole WAP and mobile deal

Now it's your turn, what do YOU want to see?

• Keep darkness (well duh)
• Specific age new posts button

Cheers,

 

Funny you mention this but I was debating implementing a "Buy Me A Beer" option, with the price fixed to $3.00. This way if you would like to thank a member, beyond simply clicking the "Thank You" button, you can
