My Liking For CSS Continues

I wasn't kidding when I said how handy CSS is in an earlier post. This time I went and totally re-worked the forums. The entire layout and design is now handled by CSS. If you were around for my Brain Farts 2.0 entry then you already know I don't give a shit if your browser doesn't support CSS. When I'm finally happy with the appearance and done tinkering with the design I'll post an image so you'll know if your browser is rendering it properly or not. If not then you need to upgrade to a modern, standards compliant browser already. Now, with a CSS based design it does open the door to allowing forum users to select their own style. But that would entail even more work getting graphics to match each and every style if we were to do that. And since the forums share the same basic color scheme as the rest of the site I would never allow it anyway. The use of CSS also opens up more customization options for the look of the forums themselves.(For example the new quote blocks and brushed metal textures.) As I've said before, if you don't utilize CSS then you should begin doing so. It may be a bitch to switch over but once you do it is SO worth it. Stay tuned to see what is next on the design block.

Please leave any comments and suggestions you might have below. I'm particularly interested in hearing what you think of the new changes and any critiques you might have to make it better.

Update: Here is the pic for how the forums should render.
