Along with trying to make the forum look a little nicer today, I also just updated the reviews page and reviews logo. The reviews page now draws the listed reviews from a single PHP include - so I only have one file to update which will update the reviews page and all the reviews which have these listed at the end.

Needless to say, it will, like everything, get updated again to make it look nicer in future. I only get limited time to make this stuff look nice.

Next on the main site I am going to look at getting rid of PROJECTS link (like I did with the VINTAGE and MANUALS - maybe move these to a sub-menu somewhere --- once I figure a new menu system out of course.
I need more menu space to add in things like RACE REPORTS (which currently only reside in the PHOTOS section - but really deserve their own space, duplicated in the photo section though)
Ideally these would be in some sorta database and could be called automatically depending on how they are being used (latest reviews on the main page, this years race reports on the race report page - etc etc) But unfortunately I'm thick and can't do much outside photoshop and Illustrator.

Oh yeah, and that LINKS button needs investigation. The years that has been untouched are hard to count - so are the number of people that have asked me to link to them and I've fobbed off with 'I'll do it soon - honest'

Lastly I'm looking at using this oOple TALK forum to display news items on the main oople.com/rc page - its certainly possible but I need to figure it out in a way that looks nice.

Oh and once again, Alberto from Spain has just translated the Ultima RB5 review to Spanish which is GREAT. Here: http://www.oople.com/rc/photos/translated/spanish/reviewrb5/index.html - If you are more than competent in your own non-English language, and think you'd like to help convert one of the reviews that interests you, then feel free to contact me.

If you want more space on your menu, use mootools. Its awesome.

may I suggest using RSS feeds to show the threads, then using PHP to parse them on the home page
