(POLL) Which Featured projects layout do you prefer?

The featured projects section is getting quite large and I do not want to single out any project just to keep it small. However, it makes the board longer to scroll and some people might find it harder to navigate that way. So I am wondering, would you prefer that the projects section continue looking like this? Or would you prefer that it becomes more compact, like this? (all projects, including the non-project-specific sub-forums, would be listed below...

100 topics per page instead of 50

Because of a severe bug with Topic Cloning mod rendering most sub-forum pages 2 until the second to last page pretty much impossible to sort through (the first and last page of each sub-forum are unnafected), I have now increased the amount of topics per page from 50 to 100 for the time being. We were aware of the issue a long time ago, but the bug effects seems to get worse with larger sub-forums.If you notice too many slowdowns as a result of this or if the server crashes, then let me know and...

Bugs with the site.

I've noticed a few bugs recently right now I can only remember 2 but I'll probably remember eventually.WalrusIRC won't show up. This happens when I am logged in for a long time, I'm guessing that this an issue with SMF.I also can't vote on polls (only tried one so it might be isolated to that poll).As an added issue. Gmail has started calling the forum updates spam.

Dillema about skin background color

However, I was unsure about what background color to choose around the site. Currently it's dark turquoise or something, but would people prefer something different and what? What I know, though, is that using the same green as the inner logo green looked ugly, though, and a gray-ish green looks more like an hospital su...
