Right now there are only two themes, cosmosheaven and sereneheaven. The other themes in there will be removed and aren't really active so this is probably causing your issue (surprised you can even see them tbh, that should be locked out, sure you can see them?). For the time being just use the two themes I mentioned. Blue fadeout on cosmosheaven is in the "stress craig out" list.

probably already mentioned but there's only two skin choices in the selector and both give me 'page not found' white screens.

The skin selector doesn't work on the front page right now, it should work in the forum. Its high on the "to fix" list. As you said you can only see two skins im guessing that partially answers the question above.

couldn't the 'join the community' image link to a register/login page rather than the forums, there's already a link to forums just up to the right.

Good point, ill check with Craig if that was/can be altered.

If a member is already logged in maybe it could show their avatar instead. 'join the community' seems supercilious to regular members.

Another good idea, but im not sure there is enough space in there, and im not sure of the coding logistics of that right now. maybe something to bear in mind for later, although as I said the spacing might be tight for an avatar etc. perhaps we can work in some dynamic scaling for an avatar and "you are logged in *username*". I do agree 100% with you. I have a changelist page im working on myself and ive added that into the list for a meeting next week.

still hoping for a direct link to the news forum somewhere  it's far and away the most popular forum, what alot of people come here for.

A direct link to the news forum from the front page? If you click a technology news story in the panel on the right it takes you right into the news forum into that thread. Im not sure we need links to the news forum directly on the front page, because the driver support forums get a lot of hits (actually as many as the news), then we start putting up a lot of messy links to forum subsections. Like the thinking though, ill see if we can come up with something for that, something that doesnt make anything look messier or more cluttered and works right.
