So the website is coming along really nicely.  I have successfully fixed some of the issues with the CSS sheet and the ACP (Administrator Control Panel) in the phpbb3 (Forums). I've also uploaded almost all of the Avatars provided by the World of Warcraft fan kit. I also borrowed the Black Proto Drake from the Community MVPs for our officers.

If you want to try out the new avatars [url=http://christianforce.net/messageboard/user/register]just register[/url] an account and follow these steps.

After registering and verifying your account navigate to the message board.

At the top near the logo you'll see a link called "User Control Panel". Click on this.

Now click on the tab marked Profile. Then "Edit Avatar"

Scroll to the bottom if necessary and select "Display Gallery". Give it a few moments to load the avatars. There are many different options. Scroll through the drop down menu. Select "Go" to preview new folders.

Once you have found an avatar you like simply select it or the circle button under it. Click Submit. You're done!

I also have a blue post syndicator. You can find that by clicking "news" on the top menu and then "Blue Posts (Official)". This will show a list of the 10 most recent blue post subject headers. Clicking on the links will take you directly to the blue posts on the Official Forums

I've added a bunch of news categories to the menu. As accumulate news articles these will fill up with a blog style pages with short summaries.

Overall, I'm very pleased with the website. Please feel free to try things out. Don't be surprised if something works. At this point I probably know. I won't ask for error checking until later.
