Branding

[propwash]

I hate to even type these words as my wife is neck deep in the corporate world and we deal with it commonly - branding.
This is one of the best forums for Modern Russian/old Soviet hacks on the web. Said.
However, the look of this forum is quite generic; can something be done? It is difficult to see the generic phpBB graphic day-to-mf-day.
What can be done? Is someone willing to take several cycles and manage the look? Hell, I'll do it if I don't have to look at the lame generic phpBB logos.
Is there some way to move forward?

yeah, i have asked several times with no response to at least bring the steed/horse with a wrench to make our header look better. that would be a good start IMO.

Shoot, I'd be happy if we could just use the preview function again, without the forum software dumping attached images.

Not too flashy though, I actually like the simplicity of it.

I actually had to go look at what you were talking about " phpBB" my eyes stay focused on the forum part , between board index/quick links and the Quick reply.

WTH is phpBB anyway...the engine that the forum is made from?

THAT is something that is actually bothersome and annoying but like the price of gas...

The look at the top of the page, I thought it was a reminder to "take your medicine Before Bed".
You mean we are not sponsored by a big pharma corporation?

I second that. I post less because the site is not functioning properly.

It sounds like you're not getting enough seat time on your moto , good news is, that's probably easier to fix.

Happy trails,

And the opening page has been "under construction" forever.

I am a function over form kind of person. Would nicer graphics be nice, yes. Do they affect my reading the forums, no.
As long as this is still the best Ural site out there, I don't care if there is a dead frog at the top of the page.

Yes it is the forum software written in php language.
The BB means bulletin board hence the name phpBB.

I thought it was how you spell a fart sound, PHPBB!!

It's a simple boiler plate program often cheap or free as a incentive to use their services. It's the web hosting that gets expensive. I like it simple knowing that farklies are unnecessary and pricey

I'm thankful that there are not ad boxes inbetween posts. I'm on the Promaster Forum. Viewing it is painful. Take a look. https://www.promasterforum.com
