In the past, I have only made brief mentions of creating a support forum. So, I wanted to officially announce the new IAMWW Forums.
My recent move to TXP created a need for an alternative way to offer theme support rather than in the sites comments. I think the forums will fulfill this need for now. General discussions on improving the themes, WordPress and web design and development are also welcome.
The forums should serve as a more appropriate support tool. They will be there regardless of what happens with comments, CMS or any other changes to this site. The forum also has search and tagging functionality that the comments didn’t.
In addition, I have enabled a few features to hopefully make the user experience better:
- The Support Forum Module allows the users and administrators to assign a status to a support request.
- Users can enable email notification on replies to topics that have been added to the favorites.
- Gravatars are also supported with your registered email address.
I have started some topics on frequently asked questions and some open discussions on possible theme enhancements. Please let me know if you guys have any suggestions in the comments below or in the forums.

Moved to TXP? How are you liking it?
I Love the new grid-based design.
Hey Gordon. Yeah moved over to TXP for a while. So far I like it a lot. There are some features that I had in WordPress that I sort of miss. However, the site runs fine without them, so I really didn’t need them…
Thanks for the compliment on the design. I am still working on some tweaks here and there…
Yeah, I echo Gordon’s sentiments. I love this design. I think it’s the best use of a dark background that I have seen yet. Awesome. I’ll be joining you in the forums shortly! I need all the enlightenment I can get!
Thanks Shawn. I believe the appeal of the dark background used here is actually because it is an almost black shade of green. So, it compliments the links well. However, I am starting to feel that there are far to many links in the bright green…
There are definitely other sites that I believe have awesome dark backgrounds. Two of my favorites off the top of my head are Sam Brown and Shawn Blanc. I really like that their backgrounds have a subtle texture to them.
