Smile Any room left on LRF for a graphic editor?

I'm very interested in the design aspects of this forum and would absolutely love to volunteer my free time to updating the layout themes colors and pictures on the main page. I have many good ideas and have experience with picture editing and some basic skills using html.

Not looking to be admin or anything, just think this forum could use a fresh new look and some minor highlights. I absolutely love this forum and would love to contribute to the community and all "guests".

If there is any room left please let me know. I can provide really good references as well if needed.

I think it's fine the way it is. I don't come here for the graphics and I can't imagine there's anyone who doesn't come here because it doesn't have a "fresh new look". And if they don't, well, I don't read the "Appearance" section anyway.

One of the moderators really need to give this guy a shot. Over the past few months he has been devoting a huge amount of effort into providing useful information into the forum, reward him for his efforts. He's volunteering, what's wrong with that?

Nothing, necessarily. On the other hand there's really nothing wrong with the level of graphics (if you ignore all the ads which I block anyway). This is an automotive technical forum, not a graphics forum or a business site for a multimedia company.
A tiny minority of web designers actually understand the difference. Based on web site progression on the internet, most any change to do with graphics will be for the worse, from a site usability perspective.

Agreed, emphatically. Plus we can't always get the best internet connection, and a graphics-heavy website, (or even worse, heavy on the flash,) just slows things down to an unusable crawl.
