That's what gives It character though- the ribbon protruding. Flat Is somewhat bland, that's just my opinion.

Having said that, I do agree with you In trying a less-conspicuous approach with the ribbon. It may just provide an equilibrium to those opposed to the Idea altogether.

I think the ribbon looks a little out of place, but mostly because it's the only place on the page that shows a sense of depth. The grey part of the background, the header and the board are all on the level, then the ribbon is trying to show the illusion of the board and ribbon popping forward. I suspect if the ribbon popped out just a bit less, plus some shadow between the board and background, it may work. Overall I like it but I still like our current too. Perhaps the header could be slimmed like it is now but with the new design.

As always, some nice designs from @Nuance

Yes, as with everything, there's always room for Improvement.

It all comes down to personal preference, therefore (In this case) there's no right or wrong. I fully support what you've mentioned, namely the bits and pieces with the Improvements.

There are some improvements that could be made, but I like the idea. I also like the colors used, very nice. The header is a little bit too big for me, but that's only details! Great work!

We're considering changing the header slightly, but I'd like people to focus most on the backgrounds.

Same artist - also responsible for our logo. I was told they copied his theme/images without permission. Scummy, I know.

SupremeBB was just another forum who couldn't get anywhere so they sold up and moved on.

It seems like that's happened with all of the forums @Zodiac owned.
