OK, I had to read the web address three times when I logged on..what is going on here? Call me resistant to change but I think the " Ads by Google " are taking over the left side of my screen! They are so big I need to shift the screen to the right to read the site content! Also the color, Xbox GREEN PLEASE!! Not Safety ORANGE! I feel like I'm in a highway work zone!

Thank you for notifying me Madcop, I didn't check what the site looks like in a small resolution. I use 1152x864, which makes the site look perfect. I noticed anything below the ads hog the screen a little and the navbar intrudes a bit. I will be fixing this tonight or tomorrow.

I will be also be making the option available where the old XLC green template is available. You will be able to pick between the two. In order to do so you would go to your profile and pick edit options. I'll try to get both these things done tonight when I get off of work.

Again thanks for the feedback

The google ads are important for SLP as he needs to generate some sort of income towards the running of the site.Every time you click on one he gains a few cents,which all add up.I have these on my own website,and although they don't generate me fortunes,it helps towards the costs.He can't expect everyone to donate $10 every month,so every little helps.
Do him a favour and click on a couple every now and then,it doesn't cost you nothing,I have been,and you are doing your bit to keep the site afloat.

Main problem was the old template wasn't generating enough revenue, the ads were very hidden. Hopefully the new one can generate more revenue. Forums have a horrible click through rate so I had to change things around. The site gets a good amount of hits, but doesn't make much. I have other sites that help pay for this site's server. Eventually we'll have to upgrade since the traffic has been increasing. Thus, I needed to make a change so we can eventually upgrade to a better server.

And it's not a problem because it will work out because I can still implement the old template if you guys want to go back to that. I'll get it up by the end of the night.

but this will stay as the default when you are not logged in.

I adjusted the way the ads are displayed so they don't stick out as much, hopefully this will help for lower resolution.

I try to please you guys much as I can. Hope you guys keep enjoying the site.

XLC Admin,
Erik

Ok, just got done fixing the old template. It should work fine, if there are any problems with it please notify me.

Go to my profile->Edit Options->(all the way to the bottom)under Miscellaneous Options->Forum Skin(old skin or new skin)

Over and out!
