Ouch. It's really bad, and we are literally a site that does graphics for an old game..

Yeah, I forgot about this thing. It is about time we do some rehauling of our graphics here.

As a graphic designer myself, I like your designs for the logo and the site. One thing I suggest is having a color scheme for the site, I was thinking something like blue and orange.

Agreed there are so many options we could use. Just not sure how to proceed as the admins don't seem very active here. It sucks that forums have become a thing of the past as apps like Discord come along. Discord is messy and confusing.

Anyways, hopefully the admins show up and consider my offer. I really like this place.

Did you PM the people I mentioned? If they don't get back to you in a couple of weeks let me know and I'll see if I can figure out how to change the graphics here.

I know we've got an established set of mods but I'd be more than willing to join the moderator team and help out.

Let me get in touch with the other moderators and see what they think about that.

I have reached out to the admin. The changes I am offering would require us to upload theme files which are SFTP access with a program like FileZilla.

I also should mention I have an Invision Community license wasting away right now. So many things we could do and I rather contribute here than build my own website/forum from scratch.

This place is already established.

:) May I suggest a green color scheme, like a football field kinda feel.

When I get here, it reminds me of a library. This site is rich with tips and techniques to get 08 current and beyond, but information is very hard to find when a search brings me 102 results to find the gems of quality info!

It would be nice to have a fresh look here! I like the X's & O's in the logo. Are you going to stick with the traditional Madden color scheme? I personally could use a change! Bring the Noise 412!

I definitely agree that the search function could sorely use some improvement.
