CompuForums - Looking for reviews.

Masahiro · 01-12-2006, 02:57 AM

Hello,

I am looking for reviews about http://www.compuforums.org/.

I'm mainly looking for reviews about the template, logo, and the way the forums are laid out.

I'm looking for constructive criticism, so if you hate it, feel free to say it, but also tell me why so I can improve it

Solid!

You might to try to lighten the blue background of the category fields as lower screen resolutions may have some difficulties reading the text.

I don’t like your banner graphic. I have very little graphics experience but if you want I’ll try to make you a banner for free! Just PM me!

All in all I like that its easy to navigate, fast loading and a breeze to adjust to (unlike many forums) so, I’ll rate it an 8 out of 10.

Thanks!

I will probaly redesign the category bars soon, and I will give the logo a complete change, I may ask you for some help on this

Positive: The coloring looks good. The text is also a good color for the site.

Negative: The forum looks quite blocky. Most sites try to go with a rounded off feel to it. Also the logo doesn't match and you shouldn't have that white background. The big grey box also does not match. I would recommend looking at some sites that have a lot of people on them and see what the forums look like. Also the logo for the read not read on the main page are that of pre-made ones off a site I know. Firstly, they look grainy. Secondly, if you are going to make a forum have a custom set of icons made.

Attractiveness: 3/10
Content: 6/10
Layout: 4/10
Overall: 4/10

I've looked at some popular sites, got a general idea, and put it into pratice.

What do you think of the theme now?
