Glad you're liking it Mike.

I just realized I guffawed when I re-uploaded the ranks, they should be working again in a few minutes.

I'm lovin' the fast load times as well, in addition to the cleaner look.  It'll be nice to see less obtrusive badges as well.

I am officially in love with the new skin. Very sleek, looks awesome, and now that we have the name of the thread separating each post, it's clear. Amazing job Alex!

I'm loving the new design Alex, surprisingly, better than the previous one. Can't wait to see what skins are next!

So I am working on friends lists and profile commenting on the side. Obviously a fun feature to have, but also excellent for things like leaving reviews about a seller/buyer.

I've added a few friends (buddies) and I tried the commenting on profiles and I have to say I really like it.
Here is something though.  There are some parts of the forum that is still in the V2 theme.

Oooh.  That could get ugly...

If you think that could take an ugly turn, maybe you can allow the profiler to delete the comment off their profile.

For example, let's say I slander you name on your profile. Alex should then make it to where you can delete my comment off of your profile. Get it?

But then what if someone really is a scammer and people comment giving him negative feedback... he could easily erase them to pretend he's a good guy! How about only Alex has the power to remove posts on the profiles? Maybe there could be a "report" button that sends Alex or the mods a notification telling them someone reported a post or another problem.
Plus, I don't think people would want to give negative posts to people for no reason, otherwise they would already have done it in the Testimonials section.

Did you guys notice the feature that only allows FRIENDS on your list to leave comments...?
