umm, a floating menu would solve that.. (like that annoying little box on hp's site "did you find this useful?")

but I still fail to see the reasoning for 3 links when all three are in the same viewable portion of the header.. If you're going to scroll up enough to see one you're generally going to use the first one you come to... Maybe an idea would be to have a roll-over menu on the motherboards link in the channelpro block...

@all - If any of you are still seeing the squished to one side issue, make sure you do a hard refresh to clear any cache and pull the latest rev of the style sheet. That should fix that.

As part of this redesigning process, the forum has been locked to a fixed size identical to the main site and should float in the center of the screen. That plus new header offers a more consistent design feel across the main site and the forum.

If any of you have thoughts or suggestions, I'd be happy to take them back to the Motherboards.org team for you.

@Toby B.

1. In the diagrams I was shown there will be something to the right of that IMU space down the road. I don't think it will be an ad, but some kind of HTML module to show related content or threads from the forum or main site.

2. I don't have anything to do with pre-loaded avatars. I'm only implementing new features and updating the templates and style sheets. Nothing I'm doing should affect that kind of thing, but if I inadvertently broke something let me know and I'll look into it.

3. A little yes, but three is better than one. :D I'm going to ask about removing the logo link in the header when in the forum. I keep wanting to click it to go back to the forum index. That would only leave two.

This may be related to a different issue (not what I've been working on), but I do have an idea what's causing it. I'll have this looked into.
