I now have two styles for the forum.
You can toggle between "Make Money" which has blue and orange colors and "Default Style" that is the old light bue and blue.

The setting for this is on the lower left hand corner of the page.
The very bottom.

Like anything new, it takes a little getting used to, but either style is really fine as far as I'm concerned. Nice touch to be able to choose the style of choice.
 
The new theme seems to take up more room up top
And the font seems smaller
I've seen forums where they have several different color schemes to choose from
Choices are good

I like the darker background, and the layout, better on the new style. But that orange is unpleasant enough to keep me on the old style. Ouch! That's hard on the eyes.

Swap the orange for that dark blue used elsewhere on that layout, it'll be sweet.
 
I didn't notice before, because I was surfing off "new posts" search results. But I went away & came back... The main page looks really screwed-up, when you have the site set to the new look. On Firefox, anyways, the layout / formatting is jumbled-up.

I pasted together some screenshots, so you'd see the full scroll-down page. So please ignore the jagged edges, I had to resize to fit the canvas, etc... was going to attach, but the files are too big, so uploaded & linked instead. You should be able to zoom in on these... I think... and see what I mean:

Old Look:

New Look:

I hate anything new. If you will all excuse me now, I have some joints to lead and some lead to wipe. :D
 
site

I do not see the "toggle" , but from the other postings, I prefer the old way because it puts more categories on the screen at one time.

The toggle is at the very bottom left,
Right now it says --Defalt Style

I like the old one. The new one is nice, but I would have to get used to it. Sorta like my Windows 7 computer. I'm sure there are new features or pros in navigation etc...but the old one worked just fine for me!

I'd load this site up with ads. Make money with it......that's the theme for anything these days. Ads make the world go round when it comes to making money and I can see this place being a cash cow for keywords.



Make Money.

Who's he gonna sell advertising to, that isn't a competitor?

Although he could do with putting a banner/link to the store, on every single forum page.

Tons that wouldn't be in conflict with sales.


Google adsense will let you block/refuse advertisers that come in on keywords.

I'm far from being the expert but there are tons of topics that would hammer the ability for those who stray, looking at product.

For example,

Dremel. Dremel tools is running a huge ad campaign if you're tied to gooooogle right now.

You'd be surprised the amount of keywords they've bought, like "construction, wood, drywall, tile" and the list goes forever.

Mix it in with everything else for self promotion and BAM! Check is in the mail.
