I've spent a couple of hours redoing the homepage/landing page for CodeCall. Take a look: CodeCall Programming -> That theme will soon be the default theme of the forum as well.

Tell me, what do you think of it? What would you change? What would you add?

Could you make it possible when you're writing a blog to choose the icon that goes next to your blog entry on the front page?
Wow I changed my sig!

I would not list the Games/Lounge forums on the front page.
I would use smaller images with the blog posts. On a small screen, those could really screw with the text.
The color selector at the bottom can run over the text on narrow screens.
The top menu-bar (forum, blog, etc) can go on a second line on narrow screens.

It looks like a min-width property is missing, based on the last two items.
Programming is a branch of mathematics.

Not easily and not without modifying the core vBulletin code. I could, however, use the first image attachment fairly easy if there was an attachment. That would open the doors to people posting porn/inappropriate images with no consistency in quality, size or shape.

My netbook is 800x480 (if I recall correctly). I'm actually on my desktop right now. It's the one with WAMP installed for doing the tutorial development :) 1440x900 works just fine :D

Which would be better for netbook users, WP: a min width set at 1000 (seems to be the smallest without distortion) or JavaScript which detects resolution and removes certain components at 800 resolution widths to prevent a horizontal scroll-bar?

EDIT: When you say list the games/lounge forums you mean remove them from the tab display or remove the "General" link from the "Community" nav pane?

Well.. If I should change anything then.. hmm

1. Those footer links style, I would change it's color and text-decoration
2. I'm not really into that banner we have
3. I would change the icons of recent blogs
4. Those register and search boxes aren't even when I go over them with a mouse

minwidth 1000.

Under the new posts tab, there's a lot of lounge stuff.
