NEW THEMES - BUGs?

First off, some general advice: always design for Firefox, then debug in IE. That's the advice of someone who has been doing CSS stuff for several years. As long as you set a proper doc-type and write valid code, if you design it using Firefox as your development browser, you'll find it a lot easier to fix the few IE bugs than if you do it the other way around, as IE is too forgiving on a lot of common CSS errors.

That said, here are the problems:

Header:
* Main header image is missing and all the featured thread images are pushed to the top for anyne running Firefox with Adblock Plus installed - this is because the image path contains the word 'ads'. Would recommend changing the path, though Adblock Plus users can exclude it.
* Featured Thread icons go nowhere. Links don't work.

ACEMAN EDIT: CONFIRMED - We'll be renaming that directory. I'm using an OLD ad rotator that just happened to be in an ads folder. I'll get that changed to features or something.
Feature Icons - Are only static at the moment. The system that runs those is being recoded by Norman. I'll make sure to at least put live links too them.

Forum list:
* Forum category headers are double height. The problem is caused by the spacer images on the right cells of the header rows getting wrapped above the collapse icons. Shouldn't need a spacer image here anyway - just set a width and height to the cell.

ACEMAN EDIT: FIXED - ALL THEMES.

So far, it looks good otherwise - I really like the design. I'll let you know if I spot any more bugs.
