I just want to say that I am very happy with Drupal and how there is just so many things you can actually do with this wonderful software. Since the creation of the site http://www.geforce3d.net I have been looking for a good front page program that was easy to maintain and easy to edit and tweak in our own way. Currently we are still using the portal program for our forums called Tiny Portal. But when we hit our one year anniversary on the 27th of June 2007 we will be releasing a completely new look for our site. With the help of the Drupal software we were able to make our site look, well, allot better by a whole lot. You can see our not yet released front page at http://www.geforce3d.net/index . We use SMF for our forums software and being able to keep the look of the front page and the forums together made things work like a charm. The forums is pretty much done and looks allot like the front page. We are not releasing the forums new look just yet cause we still want some of a surprise. But you can see the difference of what it was to what it will be by checking out the first link I posted than looking at the second link.

Drupal,

You have given my site the look and feel that I wanted it to have and I give credit to all the people that helped create and make this software what it is today.

Thank you,

On a 800x600 res monitor it scrolls at the bottom a lot. Any way to tuck it in?

We designed the site to be best viewed at 1024x768 or larger. 800x600 isn't a common resolution with today's screens. I realize it's going off our own standard. But if you look at it, 75% of the people that will be going to our site are your geeky tech savvy computer users. I am also going to be placing a tag stating that the site is best viewed at 1024x768 or higher I just haven't got to it yet.

How did you integrate SMF forums and Drupal?

There is a module for this, but I don't test it

We used this to integrate the log in stuff with Drupal's front page and it works great IMO. All they have to do is log in once with their SMF stuff and every time they are logged into the boards they are automatically logged into Drupal. Other than that we just themed our forums to look just like the front page.

Oh and to Adaire. We have formatted the site to be more user friendly with the sites viewing size. It will now size it's self appropriately to your screen. At least to a certain point. Some tables can not get any smaller.

Just as it says above. Thanks to Drupal and all the people that helped shaped it to what it is today. Great program and this will definitely be with us for a long time to come.
