For starters, duplicate the layer of that big piece of artwork, for back-up. Then shrink the duplicate down, so it won't be so distracting (i know this may ruin it's "connection" with the navigation--depending; but if it doesn't look good, you always have the original layer); and make the original invisible. Then add some border designs around the content, similar to the navigation. Only, more "crazier" than the navigation's border. And if possible, and similar artwork for the content area.

If i were you, i'd use the SF_Switchfoot. Mainly because, it's the only one that has more than just the navigation worked on. If you're planning on using the others, i'd suggest working on more than just what's going to be surrounding the navigation. Especially the "Oh! Gravity" one. The menu takes away from the content. I feel like just staring at the part hanging from the navigation, and forgetting all about the content.

Although the first one is very simple, i can basically understand why: Adobe Photoshop 5. But, yeah, that S_Elegant one is the best out of the three. I wouldn't recommend an oval-like gloss effect for non-pill-like boxes (commenting on S_Aqua). The "S" series aren't bad. Just a bit too simple.

what do you mean by this?I mean that Simple Machines Forum (SMF) 1.0.8, and maybe above, is safe enough to use; without the spyhackerz group successfully messing around. I have SMF 1.0.8 installed in my hosting, in the same directory that was engaged by a "spyhacker".

They tried to deface a site i have hosted on my account. But they failed to make it publicly viewable. The index.php page had more priority than the index.htm page they managed to make. Though, i found it funny when i saw that index.htm file. That's all i've seen them do, really, though.But yeah, SMF 1.0.8(+) is safe.

Request filled. Closing. If you need other help, PM me.

Middle part will look bad in Internet Explorer. Just add content to the middle. It should fix it. In every other browser, it looks great.

The browser--any browser, really--should automatically extend it according to how much content there is. It's not limited to the dimensions of the image-layout. But give me a moment, and i'll PM the coded (X)HTML version. EDIT: PM sent...

I'm not worried about that. But the trailer makes Dante look like the bad one, now. Nero's arm and gunblade seem like some nice weapons to try out, though. The website has been out for a while, though. So has the trailer. I like the music in it.

Heh, thanks, i guess. But let me clarify what i said so that you may understand on a bigger scale, on what i meant, so that you may know that i speak truth. You may not consider yourself in an organized religion, or a "popular" religion, whatever (Atheism, Christianity, Islam, Hindu, etc). Understandable, however, you are in a religion. You are in the "Thorned Rose" religion. Get what i'm saying? Everyone has their own beliefs; like you said, you made up your own mind, thus belief what you want to believe. That is why i call it the "Thorned Rose" religion. Because it is specific to you, and maybe, to you only. Hope you understand where i'm going.

They didn't redirect back to their site. What you should do is restore your forum's homepage, and update your forum, if there are any updates. The work they do is nothing, really. If anything, you could probably just delete the index.htm(l) file in the forums' directory, and things might go back to normal. What the SpyHackerz group does is nothing serious, and nothing to get all worried about.

My vote goes to Mich also. The fact that it is filled up doesn't bother me. It does look professional. But the animation is what really did it for me.

On the layers palette, you'll see a drop down menu. Options like, overlay, multiply, darken, lighten, hard light, etc... Default value should be "Normal". Depending on what's on the layer, can give a good effect. There's a topic that has a link to a site that explains the GIMP very thoroughly, here in the GFX part of the forums. I'll look for it.. http://forums.xisto.com/topic/38097-need-some-beginner-gfx-advice/

Yeah, 3rd one is the best. But sigs shouldn't really be without borders. The scanlines on the first one doesn't help the sig, IMO. Instead of lowering opacity, use layer blending, like, overlay, soft light, etc. You're using the GIMP to make these, right?

Not all religions believe in a higher power, or God, or gods. There's always Buddhism. I hear many atheists are a part of that religion. Many organized religions are based on three things: Faith, Hope, and Love. Love being the greatest of the three. Also, not one person in this world--who can make up their own mind--is not in a religion.

Could use a yellowish-green border, IMO. Maybe bolder text also.It feels lonely on the sides.

Awesome. Oh, and a little FYI, Xisto has it's own gallery which you can upload your images to, and post them, or whatever. Or you can use the new free image host from Xisto: Imagefilez. You should see it near the top.

[1]What topic about religion doesn't turn into a debate, when there are both theists and atheists on the same board? [2]True, many theists do believe that God would not talk to a person that does evil--directly, that is. However, that doesn't mean that God may not have others to convince a person, or group, to stop being evil. But what citizen is "lucky" enough to get even a foot away from the President--without security considering it as an assassination attempt?

Nah, what you have is fine. You've got my vote. And i'm expecting you to be active?

Thick rubber gloves would help. Who knows if the rubber on the plyers is equipped to handle electricity. But the light bill must be interesting.

I think there's already a topic about this, somewhere. Anywho, others cannot download the files, unless you provide them with username and password. All the extension does is sends yourself an email with the uploaded file attached to it. You can do the same thing manually. And i think the size limit is 10mbs. Could have changed, though.

Dog-eared, you know how people fold the edge of the page in their books so they can remember where they left off. It shouldn't be that hard to get that effect. Just cut off a piece, and rotate. Unless you're planning on adding some shadow to it. Then you'd have to pick a spot for the light, and use the blur tool for the tip/edges of the shadow.[hr=noshade] Oh, and welcome, Evion.[/hr]

Very nice. Just needs to be a bit more realistic. There's the light that shines from above on the ground, but not on the rocks. You can distort the image when over the rock, to make it more realistic. And, yeah, the rocks are good where they are. Just maybe add more smaller, surrounding rocks to it. And maybe add some rays of shadow to the fish. And add more fish: bigger fish.

If memory serves me right, PhotoShop does have a palette that has the smaller version of the image in it. And right under it, it has a bar that you can adjust to zoom in and out faster, instead of using the shortcut Ctrl + +/-. Not sure about the GIMP.

Flash has the ability to export as animated GIFs. It all depends on your export settings. And nice looking second-attempt, Hadi.
