Perhaps a link to the front page would be in order?  It would drive more folks to check out the front page as well?

Actually that's coming (no pun intended). I have to modify the code to have anchors per news item, which they don't currently have. Will be working on that today I think.

I mean no offense by this, but if the front page weren't covered in Comic Sans I'd probably visit there more often. As a graphic artist, I can barely stomach it. It's a lighthearted whimsical font that just doesn't fit in most situations. Check out www.bancomicsans.com for some great reading on the intentionality that should be brought to font choices.

That said, I love this forum, and the content off the frontpage has been very helpful. I hope you won't ban me for not liking the font choice on the non-forum parts of the site.

No offense taken - I've actually struggled with how to come up with a good look and feel and haven't been happy with it for some time. It's apparently not my forte however. Suggestions are welcomed and encouraged! :)

Holy poo...those folks have WAY too much time on their hands!   

I too find comic sans annoying,  but evidently not to the point to create a website nor to stick a funky sticker on things and take photographs of it...

...though I agree that it is WAY over used.
