So we had the same look on the Vorshlag website since 2007, but it was updated this summer (2010), and the same web guru has updated our Smugmug photo gallery and now the forum as well.
The old layouts were a mish-mash of differing designs from various time periods, but now its all integrated and has a consistent look. And you can pass between these three distinctrly different portals and it looks the same + your shopping cart session is not interrupted. There was some complicated coding updates and improvements that help us on the back end as well. Lots of broken links and spelling errors were fixed and all new buttons, fonts, and titles were added.
We're pretty happy with the updates ourselves, but let us know what you think... (and here come the haters) If you have constructive criticism please let us know.
The forum is still getting tweaked... there was some weird spacing and formatting issues we noticed on some browsers but that's mostly been fixed this week. The text size is a tick smaller - is that an issue for you? There are newer versions of vBulletin (forum software) but I think the v3.8+ "improvements" are sometimes more trouble than they are worth.
There's a few more features coming shortly, like an updated blog (old one is long gone), which we'll post up about when they go live. Don't forget there's already a Vorshlag Facebook and Twitter sites. Our YouTube channel is a mess... that's going to get some attention soon, too.
Thanks,
