The color brown is a rather dull colour to use for a website, looks kind a boring....
Freshen things up by using a bright colour, but not to bright, don't wanna go blind when i go to the website....
For example check my website, it's very bright, but not blinding if you know what i mean....

Other suggestions :

- Get rid of the links on the "home" page....And fill that up with some "news" from the airgunning scene or news from the crosman website, or links to new/busy topics on the forum

- Submit more menubuttons (those pellets look really cool), where you (when clicking on it) get all sorts of information (history of crosman, history of airguns, picture-gallery, link-page, infopage containing the story of the webmaster and why he started this forum, etc. etc. etc.

Don't wanna get on your nerves, just trying to help here, even though i'm not that frequently online  :-[

Keep up the good work, the website (how it is today) is a good start !  8)

Thanks for sharing your thoughts Paashaas  :)

This board will stay "modern" as is, but http://www.crosman-air-pistol-owners-forum.com/ (http://www.crosman-air-pistol-owners-forum.com/) will have to look "old fashioned" "vintage" that's why we've picked brown.

Content wise you've got some good point's. That will be fall 2009 job  ;)

Feel free Nate, I'm happy with vintage but modern is fine as well, as long as it isn't pink or fluorescent green 8)

For airguns I like silver/blue most.

They all look smart and neat, i too have a soft spot for the vintage look, as we are all outdoorsman a walnut marble pattern or wood background would look nice, Warm and welcoming. Most forums seem to have cold blue or steel grey colours. But you cant please everyone.

Different formats for the individual user to choose from are great.  Personally, I like a very Spartan interface.  However, I know many others will like a more dramatic, interactive, interface.

Thank you,

I know I'm new here still yet so I really don't get a vote but IMO I like the new format.............not so much.  :-[

Sorry, but I really like the format as it is.  :-*

If I were to ask for anything it would be an option for sepia skin to soften the background for easier reading.  ;)

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. This reminds me of all the changes ebay and yahoo has done. It worked, then someone thinks that it needs to be fixed. It's just another thing to get used to. O-Well, go for it. QUACK,QUACK,QUACK!

There are two mistakes...

"Welcome at the... should be "Welcome to the...
and then the "off" business.

The Belch to English translator might be the problem...  ??? ;D
