Clubhouse54 Forum Theme
It was about time to give a facelift to the phpbb forum that powers clubhouse54.com, so I redid the default theme for the forum.
I was after a cleaner look that updated the old default theme and incorporated a few modern web design trends. I wanted to challenge the standard message board interface and decided to put the user information on the top instead of on the side, and overlapping the avatar image helps to unify the content.
I also took a few cues from the interface Mac OS X's Dashboard. After working on Hula Girl and fcXHTML Reference, I picked up a fun trick that works in Safari and Firefox that nicely styles the pulldowns without interfering with their functionality.
