New OSNN theme / site launched

Great, not too sure about the clouds on the top though...BUT i like the forum set up!!

I just sent out an email to all users who haven't visited since the new theme was launched and have more than 49 posts.

Hey $username,

I just thought I would sent out another one of my classic mass emails once again but this time with a twist – I am only mailing OSNN members that have made a significant contribution such as yourself.

Personally, I have spent some time away from the site due to both real life issues and commitments but recently I have returned and I am actively revamping almost every aspect of the site.

The first thing you will notice is that we have a completely new theme which I am very pleased with and along with that a completely different news system with the focus of really bringing the community back together.

With the imminent release of Windows 7, it is a very exciting time for technology-driven communities such as ours and I hope you will stop by and reconnect with some of the familiar faces that we have brought together over the last eight years and let me know about your thoughts on both the new design and the direction of the site.

If you have forgotten any of your logon details, that shouldn’t be a problem. Your username is obviously $username and the email on the account is $email (the mail account this message was sent to). If you have forgotten your password you can reset it by visiting this page: http://www.osnn.net/login.php?do=lostpw

We hope to see you again soon!

So hopefully we will see some familiar faces around with the next few days

Yeah, the current plan is to knock out a few of them and let the users choose the one they like using CSS etc.

See if you can find a cool image that works, it either needs to loop nicely or be around 90px * ~2000px

Wow, what a coincidence! I got the e-mail, but before I saw it I randomly decided to check OSNN today and saw this new design. The new layout looks way better than the previous one EP, good work! I'll try to participate more in here once the final Windows 7 build is released.

Thanks for the E-mail, I like the new layoutand have bookmarked it to my toolbar.

I have too many bookmarks on my main one lol.

 

[Electronic Punk]

Good to see you guys again and I am glad you like the redesign!

I definitely like the new look EP, a testament to the hard work you have done.
