    Can Royal Ogres say respond with what they think about it so far?

    The white for the title text does stand out a bit more than the dark blue shade from last time, given the light blue it's on. Is there a way to make the "The Latest" and "Our Community" (and thus the subsequent subsection "Members" hidden? Since they aren't being used it adds a bit of clutter to the ordeal.

    Well, thought we might be able to remove those two by having a blank for the fields instead of a zero, but it did not work for some reason.

    Based on the demo it's possible, however it doesn't have a clear off switch for these things so we are still trying to figure out how it's done.

    Sent one last test run to the Royal Ogres, Ogre Regulars, and even the Pit lol.

    If the subscribing/unsubscribing feature does not work (it should according to the options), we will have to try another profile field.

    The newsletter itself is ready:). That is why the other groups were included in the last run before the first official issue to all our members.

    Ok, the subscribe/unsubscribe feature still needs work. Going to hold off on sending any more until this is working properly.

    You are still working on the lay-out and construction, right?

    Was wondering about nicer color effects and just some graphic changes to make it look prettier if that's possible

    If it can be changed it'd be in the template file which isn't in the demo so Ogreman would have to check if it's even possible to change. Otherwise none of the colors were/can be picked via the settings, it takes them automatically from the forum theme.

    Ok, just sent the final Test Run:). Royal Ogres need to refresh their details to subscribe back to the newsletter since the previous two options (there is now one) mistakenly served as a way to unsubscribe only. Now all you have to do is make sure unsubscribe is not checked and press save:).
