Small design changes
I think it's fair to say that te CR header graphic was pretty awful and outdated looking.
I've updated the site with a slightly fresher look - it's still not great, but so far it appears to be an improvement over the previous header graphics.
If you've any issues with the new look, do let me know.
I've especially tried to emphasis the branding of the site, as well as move the Google ads up to the top, away from the main content of the site and forums, so they are less invasive.
For comparison, here's how it used to look, followed by the current look:

Re: Small design changes
Hi and Peace--
I like it. By the way, I thought your picture avatar was great, but I am glad to see the cool yin-yang revolving again--it has always been one of my favorites.
InPeace,
InLove

Re: Small design changes
I thought the avatar pic of me wearing shades could look unfriendly, especially when moderating - the Yin Yang graphic is much more neutral-friendly.

Re: Small design changes
Just a quick thought. I like the cleaner look of the bullets for the fora and subfora, but I miss the orange color signifying new posts.

Re: Small design changes
I love it, Brian.
It has a look that makes the site look really interesting. Not that it didn't before, but more so now.

Re: Small design changes
Thanks for the comments - and luna, I'm not so keen on the new "New Post" graphic either. I'll look for something different.

Re: Small design changes
Okay, new "new post" graphics are up.
I've also just completed a forum upgrade, that basically takes all of the forum URLs and makes them into static HTML pages.
So instead of a discussion perhaps having the URL:
forum/showthread.php?t=5140&page=2
it will now show as:
forum/is-science-a-religion-5140.html

Re: Small design changes
For what it's worth, a friend to whom I recommended the site commented on its nice appearance.
