With the groups, when will there be some more themes. I like the themes all ready but I would like some more to chose. I would love to make my own but I don't have the software and I am still just a kid. If there are some more themes I think it will make groups a little more uniqie.

Another thing. Will there be some more group setting options? Eg: Split your group fourms into sections, like the main fourms. New Mombasa, The Flood ect.

I am just wondering. So there is not any more stuff for the Groups. O.K then.

Thanks.

Eletius.

Oh, how do people get their Halo 2 avatar on B.net?

Man, if I had the software and the "skills" I'd make a twinkie theme. That would be so awesome. What software do you need? I'm seriously interested in this.

Well, it might not work on my computer and where can I get the pics.

Thanks Reiginko, but still don't think it will work.

All you really need is an image editor of some kind, a text editor, some style, and lot's of patience. You should be able to do it on any computer that can view b.net, basically. :)

Wow, I was thinking you'd need to know some html and the such. I'll do it on my computer (using my mom's right now), on that I can download photoshop.

Bungie's Theme competition is still ongoing, so there will be more Themes when some that are deemed good enough are entered and implemented. As for the "group customization options" you mentioned, I'm not sure there are any plans to change the Chapters layout at all, they work well as they are. The only things I think would make them better is to bring back the activo-meter and expand the Forums. Instead of clicking Forums then making threads, why not Click Forums, then a Topic, then make threads. But, alas it's all truly up to Achronos.

Sorry to burst the bubble, but I don't think Bungie will ever have a submenu forum implented for groups (I.E. a forum for Halo 2 discussion, a forum for off-topic discussion, etc.). I believe that it would make the website slower, since there are 60,000+ groups on this website (I think that's right). And I am not saying that it will never happen, but I myself doubt it will ever happen.

Now for themes... I agree. I like the themes we have right now (I have built a few themes recently, but I never submit them), but yes, having more themes would be nice. I think that they should add some soon.

You have a point.
