For the web site part, I really like it. Good work :thumbsup2:
Here is what I've found worth commenting on:

#1:
Under Community Info > dMw Contacts: I don't know who currently is the Game Section Admin for WoW, but I'm pretty sure it's at least not Vargen.

#2:
When browsing the forum, I would really like it if that whole web site menu was gone. I like to have my browser window as narrow as possible, and that menu steals a a bit of unnecessary space.
For the web page, it is totally fine, but for the forum, I think it clutters up the view a bit.

And the donation link seems to be working btw :flirty:
Nice move to have it located this visible!

The menu on the side is going to stay for the moment Bob, sorry.  You'll have to widen your browser window a bit m8 :P  The idea is that it reminds people about the other areas of the site and helps navigation which we have alreayd had positive feedback on.

Would it be completely out of the question to add the navigation bar as an option in the user cp? Not that fun to browse on a 12" laptop...

Yeah, I can understand that - and very much agree with it as well. I guess the main web page will be used much more this way, which is a good thing.

I can also see it can be a good thing if you're e.g. in a forum post reading about CS, and want to quickly jump to the TCS Rules, but for main forum browsing (which is I would guess 95% (and probably more as well) of my activity here, and most others as well), it is mostly in the way.
Could perhaps an option be added to the User CP, where one could choose to show the web page menu when browsing the forum 'all the time', 'only on root forum page' or 'not at all'?

I don't mean to argue - I'm just saying :)

Edit: did some other stuff while writing, so it took some time, so I didn't see Delan's post - but that's a good point as well!

I think I use the forum in pretty much the same way Bob and Delan do. It would be nice to add an use cp option to hide it.

Its definitely better for the new comers though, and looks nicer to boot. good job.

The website front page gives the address of Baldric as:

cs.deadmen.co.uk1:27017
Baldric - CS:S Match Server

Need to convert co.uk1 to co.uk

Likewise I'm not a fan of the navigation bar. Some of us use the forum as well just a forum and the navigation bar is a pain when I use my laptop. Have it on by default but there should be an option to turn it off.

I agree. Is this change for changes sake?
