What do you guys think about this layout?

[alienkid]

I can dig it, it looks good.

I even thought about the same thing but, folks come here and still miss the BIG AZZ BANNER up top.

I think before anyone can post they must read something that explains basics. So people know they need to be on 3.55 and do not post asking how everyday! Looks good @Annelies .

Maybe just add something in there explaing where and how to use the search tool first, and make this mandatory to read when signing up.

I added that as one of the questions.

Oh, I see. It just seems like just telling someone to search does no good. Like they can't find it or know how to use it. It's probably just laziness though. Just thought if it was explained a bit they would have no excuses
