Maybe it is just because I am not used to things yet, but I can't find the info on if the wall is sunny or not.

man i was hoping that this was still a work in progress. I am not very good at this technology stuff, but i could not get it to work well at all... most of the links didnt do anything.

it does look good and i am sure that all the kinks will be worked out. thanks!

any details you'd like to provide on "most of the links didn't do anything"? those tend to help..

ps: at least, which browser are you using?

Yep, the only thing I see is the page is bright, maybe bordering on harsh even? Some mellower shades, esp. of the yellow and red would be easier on the eyes. The old guidebook was kinda based on the same colors as the bbs, easy to read.

Otherwise, the functions and data stuff is amazing. Guess it is also more iphone app friendly?

i can't speak for the iphone compatability.. let me know.

as for the comment that i'll be changing the page up, that was only for the recent comments page. the rest of the guidebook.. i was going for something a little brighter, more interesting than the bbs. personally not such a fan of the bbs color scheme so i wanted to get away from that.. but if you guys have another color scheme you'd like to see, we can work with that. i don't have the best eye for that stuff so, if you do, have a crack at it. i'd love to, in the future, have the ability to choose your own theme.. we'll see about that..

thanks for the props on the other stuff

oh and one other feature that everyone seemed to ask for:

..walls no longer start with "the".. they're in their correct alphabetical order.

I can see that, but I think there might be too much white space for those reds and yellows. Maybe even fade the white to 20% gray?

Just hit a couple sites I like, and they are using white background, but without the bigger, brighter red and yellow text boxes. Maybe just making those a bit smaller, or slightly less bright might work? I think it might just be a contrast thing..
