Forum installed, not live yet

Just got a PHP/MySQL forum installed and am very impressed about how easy it was. The forum can be downloaded here (http://www.expandbb.com) if anybody would like to install it on their webserver. It's going to be a while till I make this live as there is a lot of customization to do yet. To be honest, it maybe has too many features. The idea was to have a nice simple feedback forum.

Site Update

Pretty much got the site framework put up, it still needs a lot of work though. I'm learning HTML/CSS/etc as I go along and initially thought that it would be easy to put up a site that looked how I want it to. On the whole it has been, but it takes a lot of tweaking to get things just right. The most frustrating thing is working out if something is impossible or if I just don't know how to do this. I spent ages trying to work out how to stretch an image to fit to the window or to a table, then found out that HTML/CSS would not allow this and would require some javascript wizardry which isn't going to happen.
