Default New Style Ideas/Recomendations

We're going to be having a new style developed very soon. It will go with the new homepage design that I can't show you yet, because I haven't quite finished it.

A Bit of what it'll be like. Still mostly red, white, and gray. I'm looking to make it very simple, yet professional at the same time. Giving it a bit more personality without going to far out that it hurts the functionality of the site.

I'd like to know what suggestions you all would like to see. Can be anything, from "I want a New Posts link on the homepage, to anything you can think of and if its possible and reasonable I'll try to get it done.

I actually think that the functionality works pretty well. Links look well placed now as well. Easy Navigation. Not sure where I would want to improve anything.

I agree with Ron about the navigation and placement; however, I liked the tach icons much better than the FBO ones.

yeah, I'm just messing around with ideas for icons currently.

I'll most likely go back to the tach's, just exploring my options.

The new icons look good, but the tach icons were definately rocking a little more. Something creative I just thought of though for icons- you could have a manual, and when there's a new post show it shifting gears maybe? Dunno how it'd look or if it's possible to do but thought I'd throw it out there.

Just had an idea from seeing a post on here. Anytime someone spells Camaro "Camero" have a forum filter or something detect it and change it to something like "I don't deserve a f-body."
