I really tried every CMS around, there's no perfect CMS but XOOPS is absolutely the more flexible.

It was a pain to make a XHTML layout the exact way I wanted it to be, but only with XOOPS I was able to do something like this: www.tetsuo.it (sorry it's italian only, but I hope you can appreciate the layout anyway).

The Site (not yet open to the masses) and layout are still in beta, something need to be tweaked for IE... I'll need another 2/3 days of optimization. Hope you like it.

I'd like to thanks the XOOPS community for the great support I found on this forum (almost all questions I was going to ask were already answered on this forum).

Last what I really miss in Xoops.
- A module-wide category manager;
- As much variables as possibile accessible from Smarty (such as User Email and "new PMs number");
();
- Customizable layout areas not just "right/left columns", "main area", "center columns".

welcome to the crazy world of Xoops.. :)

and it's really good to see a newcomer who uses the search function and searches the site for answers to their questions before asking them (something a lot of people don't do) it saves on people having to repeat themselves every week :)

your theme looks nice, and is pretty fast aswell even on my lowly connection at home..

in regards to your request:

i believe most if not all of what u mentioned are being worked on and developed for the upcoming new version of XOOPS (2.1/2.2), the blocks system is definitely being worked on along with many new features that the current version lacks. so all in all i think you'll find life on XOOPS rather addicting..

Cubiq, I have to say that's a very nice site. Its very visually appealing as as well as fast. Well done for interpreting XOOPS in a creative and original way.

Good luck with your site and further development.
