Ash, you have a poor memory.
I actually have a good memory .rip, but only for incidents that are worth recalling. A new member of the site complained about something that he found to be offensive, we act on all reports, as would any responsible forum management team. It was not this incident alone that resulted in Dan's 2 day ban. Regardless, if members 'left' because of it, good - we don't wish to attract members that disregard offending other members.
It's history, move on, get over it, if anyone else still has an issue, feel free to delete your account.
Nice one!
Seems the banner etc is an issue for some though, have to say it's fine on my phone too. I don't find the read/unread an issue either, but then, I don't have fat fingers 
[member=545]ALZ1307[/member], [member=15964]Butcher[/member], [member=21171]j[/member]@z, thanks all for your feedback, this is rather odd but I'll investigate the following:
- Make the links in the header banner more visible/clear so as to stand out against the background.
- Check the alignment of the navigation strip on some browsers (I can't recreate...but will try and resolve it).
I'll come back to you!
