Well ... it's a quarter to 8am and I still haven't slept yet tonite! (My days and nights are completely screwed up, I didn't wake up until 3pm today).
In any case, I just spent the last while basically dividing up TechTalk into multiple sub-sites. The biggest difference you may notice is the heading that normally says techtalkforums.com. It now reflects the individual section you're in. In addition to this, however, I customized the meta tags for each section. (Hopefully this will help our search engine placement!)
Some changes were also made to the navigation menubar at the top of the screen. Member options such as to view the memberlist and edit your profile are icons displayed in the upper right. The main forum categories are listed along the navbar.
Were these ideas good or bad? Poorly implemented? Let me know if you like them or just find them entirely annoying and obnoxious

think it's pretty nice - might put a more obvious Homepage link somewhere other than only at the very bottom of the page. also, i notice that there's plenty of space to the left of the "Advanced Search" link to place a "Register"/"New Member?"/"New Member Registration" etc. link on the banner...jfft

I think it was a good idea. It gives the user additional ways to access and maneuver across the site. Good job.

Smiley's not being selectable ... there was already a post about this somewhere else. I went and did a search for it and copied/pasted my reply:

But to my dismay I went to phpBB and was able to get the same thing to happen on their forums!
So I figured it would be better if I just got rid of it.

Maybe you can make the word "Smilies" in the posting option "Disable Smilies in this post" a hyper link to list of smiley faces recognized by ur bbcode?

You mean just so that you can see what ASCII art brings about what emoticon?
I really should post something on the phpBB support boards about this, but I haven't had time as I've been awfully busy lately.
It seems that it's a bug in the JavaScript used to insert icons into the textbox. Somehow, about a third of the time, instead of adding the smiley to the textbox, it overwrites what's already in the textbox with only the smiley.

Or you could make a note that ASCII icons will be converted to graphical.
Just stinks when the user puts something like =) instead of :)
