So what does everyone think of the new layout of the index page? with the sunset background?

Do you like it?

Would you prefer a different image? If so what?

Like oranges, or flowers, or another type on sunset background, or different trees, etc

please note i can only do this for the front page because it was done by sticking some html into one of the forum descriptions

I personally like the palmtrees more than those orange pictures. They're just too 'advertisement' like :P

Hmm, can't say I'm fond of the Palmtrees or the oranges for the background.

The palm trees make it look like the grove is a travel agency, but the pictures of the oranges look too real, like how to say it?

Try to find painted oranges. They'd go with the theme more. Kinda like below

*nods* looks like we'll need to set up another poll sometime

as to the painted oranges...we can test them out as well but everyone bear in mind that only the edges of the image will show up, the rest will be blocked out by our forum

so will search more and lets see if we can find something most people like...you guys are welcome to do some searching too and post suggestions..the only requirement really is that it's high resolution so that the whole pic can be seen
