Thanks David. I really appreciate the suggestions. I spent about a year and half doing web design, but have gotten way out of the loop now.
One thing I would like to do is take the navigation menu and turn it into graphics so it only takes up a portion of the screen width. The reason being is I need some real estate to put in some things like [Print This Page], etc. So if I could use smaller graphics and maybe combine the send private/check private into a singular [My Page] or something like that, move the User List I could possibly only use half of the screen width for navigation. That would allow the other half to be used for extras.
The current color scheme is used because basically I don't really know what would look the best. I spend so much time with my nose buried in programming code that I haven't had the time to keep up with current web design trends.
I am getting a little desperate to make some visual improvements because this is really the only knock I have heard on the program. Features are great, look is kind of bland. So, your suggestions are very much appreciated.
So, what does everyone think? What's a good color scheme to go with? What about the other things David suggested? If anyone has any ideas now would be a great time to share[]/w3timages/icons/wink.gif[/].
