this will be my comprehensive list of things I have done to change the site, and therefore it will be updated frequently.

Things to do...

• think up possible (repeat: possible) new name for site
  
• add widgets to the site's sidebar that can be positioned anywhere on the page until you refresh (good idea?)
  
• fix up any bugs I come across in other browsers
  
• increase site speed and performance (I have an idea!)
  
• make animated fading site description that rotates through a list of funny sayings (or make a random one appear on page reload) DONE!
  
• reorganize buttons on topics for better functionality
  
• make most buttons on the site round and pretty
  
• either A.) make new, slimmer buttons for "topic, reply, quote, edit, skype, email, www, online, etc." or B.) replace them with actual text (takes more time, but looks better) done, done, and done with flying colors!
  
• make the chatbox slide open with a smooth animation
  
• I need to learn javascript.
  
• create an actual "Rules and FAQ" page
  

things I've done... (starting 4/4/11)

• made menubar larger; more accessable
  
• FINALLY got down the fading text description.
  
• realized I only come up with good ideas past 11:00 PM
  

• added in a brand-new chatbox function at the top of the page that works in all browsers, and looks sexy to boot!
  
• fixed up every problem in chrome I could find, but there's on glitch in IE with the title where there's a messed up underline.
  
• made wysiwyg (what you see is what you get) mode the default when writing topics and replies.
  
• added a new color for usernames (dark red) for Eliwood
  
• made pictures in posts resize to 600 pixels wide so that it doesn't warp the page
  
• added site description back under the title
  

you all wanna see how good I REALLY am at coding?
look at the site template I started with.

nuuuuuuuu
believe it or not, it isn't even a logo
it's the power of CSS
I need to keep it simple mainly for doodle's suckish computer
and were I to make it an actual logo, I would need to recode some stuff
so for now, I'm keeping it css
but if you want to make a background for the text when you hover over it or something, be my guest

UPDATE: added new menubar!

UPDATE: larger menubar AND fading text!
