    • I can't wait, here's hoping it leaves the Saxiom mess behind, I have every faith that was just a hiccup.

    • I am renewing again in next 4 days!

      Having looked at the last few releases I can't help but feel they are becoming a bit samey - Quite detailed and look good on bigger monitors but the showcase is growing bigger and bigger which kind of defeats the object of catching people with as much as possible above the fold, especially at 1024x768.

      I still get asked for TerranTribune a fair bit so I am hoping that gets converted/updated soon.

      Perhaps we can have something aimed at hotels/B&Bs/leisure/tourism in one of the upcoming templates?

      Roll on tomorrow.

      I'm with you DG when it comes to feeling that templates are trying to push more "fluff" above the fold. It's not just a RT trend though. Other template clubs that I belong to are doing the same which, IMHO, is a move in the wrong direction for professional sites.

    • How about taking somaxiom, turn everything off or move to lowest setting and then starting turning things up or moving things up slowly.

      the "fluff" is just a demonstration of what is possible - not what you have to use

    • Hi Tony,

      I agree about the other clubs statement. I am currently with Gavick (customer was billed membership as they wanted a specific template :cheesy: ) as well and they are a long way behind RT.

      I used to check YOOtheme regularly but they have nothing that hits me as different. Some recent freelance work for one of my regular developer clients has brought me into contact with Joomlart templates. The one I had to convert was poorly thought out as some divs were constant even when no modules published to position.

      I still think RT are best but I would like to see the focus vary a bit. You can only build so many community sites but the small business sector want clean, crisp, inviting sites. I still like Infuse and Juxta as variety themes but Infuse has no text resizing and in the UK we have the Disability Discrimination Act so a lot of my clients are now asking for font resizing as a standard.

      Let's hope the new one is considerably different to the recent releases.

      Regards

      David
