What did you want the icons for?

I was just looking at the index of threads and saw there was the spaces for pictures, wasted space imo (at least as it currently is, with just no different icons).
Thought it might be cool if the person posting the thread could include some small icon or image with the thread to represent it. For example with the latest thread, a tiny mock-up icon of Breakwater's emblem would be appropriately cool. The Phantom Hawks past thread would be cool with a little icon of the crews jolly roger.
Yeah, I didn't think it would actually go anywhere but figured to ask. The idea to use the icons for differentiating Main, Side and Special threads though is a good idea.

I'm foaming at the mouth. Seriously. This is all too beautiful.

I really like the layout, and I don't mind the color change, but I don't like the "Light Orange foreground over a Dark Orange background" thing.
Also just a suggestion, but something to fill the space on the scrolling side bar? The chatbox and the manga of the week are nice, but beneath said manga of the week, there's just an empty slot (at least for me) where something else could be included. Just a suggestion.

Oh one other thing I forgot, is the One Piece banner just a placeholder for now? It's really great, but on first glance it seems to delineate this place as "One Piece Blast" rather than "Manga Blast".

I'm looking into adding some optional themes for the forum. Obviously One Piece is more of the more influential mangas out there but I think we can probably add a couple of more themes to balance it out.

Yeah, the banners will cycle through to different manga.
As for the colors, I will be creating a few other color themes that you can choose from.
As for the left side bar, on my screen, the Chat Box and Manga of The Week take up the whole left side. It scrolls with your screen so it'll always be showing. Maybe my screen is a little small, though.
If anyone has suggestions, I'll be happy to add something else to the sidebar.

Double post! For the update! I'm sure you've all noticed we've added a few more banners. Hito's going to take care of some of the more popular Shonen series since his skills of an artist are more powerful than mine. In non-CJ speak, he's a bit better at designing these so he's working on a banner for Naruto, Bleach and the likes. Until then, I wanted to ask for your own approval for three more of them. I'm struggling with one for FullMetal Alchemist. Here's one Kylor suggested: What do you think? Personally, I'm not too sure of it but if you guys like it, I'll put it up. These next two are manga series that got me into manga in the first place, Magic Knight Rayearth and Sailor Moon respectively. I'm aware not everyone here reads these series so I hesitated putting them up. What do you all think? From now on, I'll post little known series banners up for approval here or in a future topic (where you can also request or post your own banners).

I approve of all of them. Personally, I'd love to see more little-known stuff up here as well.
Also, I suggest a Madoka banner. Because Madoka banner.

Shall we always put up Madoka for that Best Anime Banner? Here's another one for Blue Exorcist (Ao no Exorcist). This is another relatively unknown one that falls into the horrible trap of not having very many color spreads.

Wait are you just using a template for the site name, "Manga Blast"?
If so, if you could post a gif or png or whatever of that title, I could make a banner or two.

Here's what you need to make your own banner. Included is a .psd file, a .png file and the two fonts that make up our logo. www.sendspace.com/file/v9khlk
