We seem to have fixed the recent problems with the recent update to the message board. I've tested it and the kinks seem to have been worked out, but if you see anything weird be sure to let us know.
For the time being, I've decided to keep the present style of the site, although I will be adding the ability to create your own color template and adjust your front page settings. It's just too much work at the time being to convert the entire site over to a new look and I'd rather devote my time to adding new information and filling out the database.
Thanks for your patience!
