The next layout we had was a bit more solid. A silver metallic layout. The chatbox at the top of the site was then replaced with this image: Then soon after the them was changed to Gold: And it redirected to a separate page where a fuller chatbox existed.

The next layout I again did not save a full view of, but the buttons at the top looked like this:  and the banner was,  I remember TheHmmm telling me the theme looked like newspaper, since I had added long descriptions to boards.
