Sorry, I am experimenting. As we do not have a test forum, and I cannot take the time to setup one, I have to experiment live.
As I said in the past, I want to make something that is resize-able: no matter how much you stretch the forum, it will fill all of the width. The idea I have so far is to keep the "Republic of Europeia"+button+stars to the left fixated, and fill in the rest with a suitably-sized background image. I haven't found a good one yet, though.
If I haven't arrived at something decent by the end of my experimenting, I will revert to the original. Otherwise, I'll let it to the new one and wait for feedback.
