Please hire a graphic designer ...Ouch
No I'm not.

Keep ya shirt on Ron.... If that's the worst thing that's happened to you all day, you've had a really good one and should be thankful. Life's too short to get upset by what the tabs on a forum look like for a few minutes.
Give us a break will ya.

Neil

You could ask Chris to give it some polish.

Neil,
I read some place that the an oil painting was a process which protected the canvas from the elements and exposed it to the critics.
Looks like it probably applies to web pages as well

Cliff,
As much as I would like to help, I'm just too busy at the moment.
Neil is doing a fantastic job......thank you Neil. It has to be incredibly hard trying to strike a balance, as you can't hope to please everyone....especially when you're giving them something free.

Wiki (default) skin done. I think. Now for the others.

Fully agree with you Neil. For weeks now I've been more concerned with recovering from my operation than worry what the forum looks like, what direction it takes, etc as all I looked at was my own thread on my illness.


Life is indeed too short to complain about such really little things as the shape of tabs. Get real and start living rather than wanking about inconsequential things.

Still have to work out in details what you have done, but I'm sure it is for the best.


Peter.

Glad to see you're feeling better, Peter

Don't be bloody silly, you might start imagining we appreciate the place if we did that

Jeez, are you offering to pay for that?

Let's face it, how many "iterations" has Mickysoft Windows gone through, each at extortionate cost, and it still doesn't work as advertised.

Please bear in mind how much you are paying for this..................

Funnily enough, how the pages look hasn't ever really been a big thing with me. I figured out pretty quick how to navigate to the forums I frequent. I reckon it's a lot better than having ALL the forums listed on one page. I was wearing out the wheel on my mouse.

I hadn't even noticed the tabs until this thread appeared.

My browser is always on the New Posts page and I just refresh to get the latest posts.

Having now looked at the home page, I reckon the tabs look pretty good.

And today all the tabs fit across my screen.

For what it's worth (and to throw a spanner in the cogs of this thread ), I took 5 minutes out to fiddle with ye olde Photoshop. Here's a nice rounded tab similar to what's there that might make it smoother, with the rounded corners and all. I'll cut it down to a particular size for each tab if you want, just say the word and ill do it over my next cuppa.
