Amazing theme guys! keep up the amazing work. Just something to consider…sorry ‘_’
- on the navigation menus, please add drop down arrow! its for usability purposes…nobody likes surprises (pop ups etc) especially not knowing whats a drop down item and whats not. Also hover effects on the menus…small things like this, people actually appreciate a lot.

I agree with vito mavrak, and also for the header would be nice to see:
- Headline… just like the Newspaper Theme
- Search box… it’s important up there
- Two menus style (one for categories and one for pages/static content)
If I’m not too picky…
A custom home page build with widgets, where we could choose to display the last posts, by categories… I will give an example link if you want to take this in consideration…:)
Footer widgets it’s also a good solution to add more stuff…
I will take this theme in consideration for my next project I’m working on, if the header will be more appealing… the rest looks pretty good…
Thank you,
Nick

Another awesome theme Roy. Just one question though. Is it only a portfolio theme or can it be used as a magazine/blog theme too. And can the left sidebar be brought to the right. The theme looks perfect even for a blog theme and would be a quite unique blog theme too with a completely new look if possible. And really like your innovative themes recently especially smartblog and this. Others are also great but your recent themes are somewhat different only for your themes but also overall in the wordpress theme websites.

Thank you for the kind words, really appreciated!
1. This theme can be use as magazine/blog theme.
2. The left sidebar could be brought to the right by editing a few CSS code, simple work.

Are the video thumbnails created automatically?
Roy

Unfortunately not, you need to set Featured Image (as thumbnail) for videos.

Hi Roy
Theme is great because contain: Submit Your Design already,not need to look for the plugin.
I have one very important question here.
When somebody submit their post,picture etc. he must wait my approval for that post or post will be automatically live on site?
Roy
Nov 27. 2011
Yes, by default, the submitted posts are set as “pending review”.

Hello, Thank You for this theme! Wonderful.
But if I use a youtube video and put the embedd code into the required field and I add a thumbnail above this field (Poster Image), then the thumbnail doesn`t work.
I used different images (png/jpg), but none worked.
The site is http://video.vierundachzig.de

It looks like you didn’t check the tutorial carefully: http://www.theme-junkie.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4359 Feel free to open a thread if you still have problems with this.

So I guess my questions are:
Would the people who submit things, would it show up as their post, and if you click on their icon would you be taken to their author page?
Would the author page have their submissions or no?
Is there someway to have the right sidebar stay over there no matter what screen size? It hangs down below if the browser isn’t wide enough and looks weird.
