Perhaps look at a new layout? Being totally serious, this site now looks like some tacky Sci-Fi fanboy site. The old layout was simple, good looking and most of all, effective.

Apart from that, its all pretty decent, although you're now expanding to step on OZfires toes.

Just cos we are now allowed to post photos does not mean we are stepping on ozfires toes.  Why should we post a photo on ozfire just so safirefighter members can see it?

Keep the feedback coming, we liike hearing the good and bad!

A new layout was needed due to technical challenges with the way the old site was constructed. :-D

Nothing wrong with sci-fi. The backrounds and borders are a huge improvement on the old site.

Hahahaha!

I'm not sure how useful it would be be, but should there be a forum that is only available to logged in members so the "sensitive" discussions can have a little more privacy? (If only from people stumbling in from Google...)?

I didn't mind the feature of being able to bring up all the posts that had occured since your last visit..  Saved sifting through all the pages and checking things twice.. 

Is it possible to bring back?

;)

I agree that the whole forum should require logging in, i admit to being guilty of saying things that the gen public shouldn't see, and it would be good to be able to use the whole forum freely and not have to just use the members area. 8-)
