Just upgraded the forum and will tweak around with the template - if anybody has any issues, feel free to ask.

It would be nice to loose the borders and go for a full page width.

Has the number of ads increased ?

I'll experiment with some different layout options...

As for the Ads - I'm actually running an experiment at present - I've set up two sets of Google Adsense ads on the left. I want to see whether anyone ever actually clicks on the second set.

Don't worry, I'm not selling out on WHW - the ads generate little revenues as it is, but I'm just curious about using multiple Adsense blocks, and while I was editing the template, thought I may as well try and get some stats on it.

Also - planning to set up links in the template to yours and Tony's hosting sites. Feel free to let me know which URL you'd like me to set up.

Probably best to point to Monaghan Consultants Ltd, Web Hosting, ADSL, IT & Database Consultancy as this is a link to all (well almost all) my business offerings, whereas DIY Hosting - The home of custom web hosting is just the budget hosting offering.

I'm ok with the borders. I like the colors used on the site too. I'll try to remember to check out some of the Google ads from time to time. I know I always appreciate it when people do that on my site.

Can the top menu bar be customised on the fly ? If so can you remove the "register" link for registered users or is there an SEO reason to have this in place all the time ?

Please note I'm not encouraging users to click on the ads - they are simply there in case of use, and not to be arbitarily clicked on.

As for the register button - I'll probably apply a small coding tweak there.

There - done.

A small problem Brian... Once you have posted a message and returned to a forum - there doesn't seem to be a way out! (apart from clicking on the title logo or one of the categories on the left).

Bit more tweaking going on - returned the breadcrumbs.
