Thanks! I have had the comments made about how things looked and contrasted too much against each other. Then I found this theme. I will try to keep it easy on ya!

It's pretty easy on the eyes. One thing I noticed is that "New Thread" and the "Reply" button down there on the left. They look like they are from another theme, see the jaggies on the right side, just a little touch up and no one would notice.


That Image verification text thing for each post is odd, but not full-on annoying.


** Post Edit **

Now that I look, there are some more buttons that have the jaggies, the "Reply" and "Quote" buttons do too.

That's all.

Actually, all of the images (except the category icons I am working on) are from the original theme. I am working on those as well as the header image at the top. I have put off putting this new software in place since January 1 and thought that since I paid for it last October I should really start using it regardless of the images since it is functional.

The image verification... that is unfortunately a mod I put in because someone out there made a spam script for vBulletin. This blocks it regardless of if they have an account on the site. An extra step, yes, but I have said all along I am about securing this site. It was hacked once. Not again. That is also why we do not do the publicly available e-mail services (Hotmail, Yahoo, etc.).

Nice Job! = 9 characters. One more exclamation mark would have let the post go through. Wonder if I should drop that...

Yeah, I'd drop the message too short. Us KOV'ers are known for our image only or single word replys.

I understand about the hacking, I got hacked twice with my Nuke site, now I'm hooked up with CPG Nuke and so far (Knock on wood)

*ARTS is now knocking on his noggin*

So far I haven't been hacked since securing up.
