You deserve props for RangerProps -- it look nice.
Yes, yes, lame joke.
Anyway, why is there a scroll bar left/right in Firefox 3.5 ?
Chrome, too.
I'm going to guess IE8 and K-Meleon act the same.
Fix it.
That
eBay logo in the chat bar is pretty badly distorted.
Final Fury is too dark for my tastes. Awful skinny, too.
Red MMPR Classic looks nice. Best one, to me. Still a bit dark, not sure it's "Ranger enough" for me. Rangers was more about Rainbow colors, not black and grays.
I'm not a fan of the % width change. Fixed is easier to work with. And gives you as designer more control. Just keep it 1024px or less width (no less than 960-970px or so) -- still a very common screen size.
The RangerProps theme is my least favorite, it's too skinny, the graphics look VGA dated (1995ish), and the colors are still too dark.
I really like the CometChat -- glad to discover this. I may want to use this at you-know-where. (I've asked the forum what they think!) I wish it had a "group chat" or "chat room" functionality, not just one-on-one chatting. Like the old chat room at you-know-where.
"Downgraded" to vBulletin? I don't know that I'd ever call vB a downgrade, given what it does, and how easy it makes everything. Just remember to secure it, locking down admins in the config.php, and password protecting (and renaming!) your admincp folder
