Two more layout designs
Ok, ive busted out two more design mockups for your perusal. The first meets most of Arun's requests, and I quite like it. It's more streamlined, and more efficiently spaced. I didn't add the lines dividing the links, as he requested, however. Reason being for this, is that as the user browses the green nav. bar, the link will be highlighted with black, as illustrated. This should clearly distinguish word groups. I think lines or seperators would detract from the overall design. Anywyas, here it is.
For the second desing, I've introduced new concept: the sidebar. The sidebar, which I've tentatively named the "Navigator," will be a place for specific information that the user may want accesss to regardless of what page they're on... things like, most recent forum posts, external links, contact information for us, etc, etc. It should be fully functional and auto-updating, so that if a new post is made while the user is looking through the media section, for instance, they will be notified of that, and be givin the option to respond. It should be present on every page, except, I think, the forum page, since it would be redundant, but that really depends on what content we agree to put into it.
Let me know what you think.

sorry forgot to mention that the search bar could easily fit into the sidebar. Also, the colour, yeah, it's pretty junky, I'll play around with it a lot more
