Actually ... let me clear up what I'm doing right now. I've been spending night and day redoing the TechTalk website, but NOT the front-end stuff!
The php code for the YaBB script is extraordinarily messy, uncommented, and has HTML code with like 5000 nested tables hard-coded into all these messy files.
What I'm doing is going through this, .php file by .php file, indenting all the code, commenting all the code, and simplifying all the tables (e.g. removing unnecessary nested tables, etc.)
See, before I was only really able to change the color of the forum template, as all of the HTML code is hard-coded. Now I'm simplifying all of the HTML code and commenting all of it and what it does.
When I finish, I'll take everyone's opinions about every lil detail of where things should be and how they should look. And this time, I'll actually be able to implement all of the changes, because I'll have full control over the template.
(In the mean time, the changes you're seeing now, are just my rudiamentary attempt to design an extremely simple and clean template, which will be easy to work from in the future.)
