I'm sure you all noticed: the zelda forums have a new look in an effort to give them more of an identity. It's more 'zeldaish'. than the regular Legends Alliance skin. Im still working on it; the logo definitely needs some work.
I also want to expand things here a bit. Any ideas on any other Zelda specific forums we can have? I'm thinking a forum dedicated to help in the Zelda games is a must, and I'm open to any suggestions.
New Look for Here

oh wow, this is very nice. I always liked brown.
however, with a post, the text cuts off in the middle of a word and continues on the next line... is there a way to fix that?
this is so fancy, it rather clashes with the plain rest of the forums. but since I assume that this forum was originally based off of Zelda, it seems appropriate to segregate Zelda-related sections.
yummy. :)

Holy crap this looks cool, Khuffie. You'd better give us the option to use this as a site-wide skin 
As for expanded forums... It's very late where I am, and I can't think straight. I have a few ideas, but I'll wait until tomorrow, so I can articulate them.

A fanworks forum is a definate must. Is it just me or does this skin have more of a Ganon-ish feel to it?

People can post the fanworks on the main site itself. Posting stuff here would lead to confusion

Oh well. Just a pipe dream I suppose... What about a Zelda specific RP Forum. Or better yet an Ongoing Story Board. I'll settle for a Battlefield though...

This looks pretty nice, Khuffie. If you're after some new forum ideas:
* Zelda Help - This is a good idea
* Fanworks Discussion - Maybe we don't have to post our fan works on this forum, but we could have a place to discuss ones we've read/seen, recommend others, and ask for advice and feedback on our own ideas and works.
I don't think it's worth making forums for each game, or even combining consoles, i.e. "NES Zeldas". In almost every message board I've seen, the forums for the older games especially go almost unused. (SAD, SAD! I would talk about the earlier Zeldas until I was blue in the face if more people wanted to discuss them!!! XP)
EDIT TO POST: After posting, I have noticed that the formatting for posts is not very good. Is there some way to change it so that words stay together intead of being split if they're at the end of a line?

In a very, very active forum like Zelda Universe, having seperate sections for each generation of game works. But I've never seen it work well anywhere else, and we simply don't have a large enough community to make something like that feasible.
I had some ideas last night, as I said, but they no longer seem so good this morning.

Nice new skin, but I don't like the word cutoffs, I actually was confused when I saw the skin replaced and couldn't remember when I updated it to this.

Game Help should be a sub-forum of Zelda General.

Posting on this new board style makes me feel as if I'm writing on a parchment with an ink and quill. It's feels a bit interesting. Anyone else gets this kind of feeling?
