As you may have noticed by now we now have a completely new layout for our community.

This layout should be more userfriendly and the chat is also easier to access.

I will be posting a complete list of what I have done as well as fixing some stuff I have overseen tomorrow, but for now. Enjoy.



edit:
Clan roster is temporarily disabled for now. Will enable it again tomorrow as there will be some rendering updates.

Will fix it once i get home from work today. Problem is that all browsers render the code differently. For example, in Chrome and IE I don't get that issue.
