New web design forum

tanicos · 06-07-2008, 06:02 PM

Hello all

Just finished building and designing a new forum.
Beside your review let me know the following things:
1. I am using 80% PNG images but i have a transparency script added. If you see any image problems let me know, including the browser you use and version.
2. Using so many javascripts the loading time will suffer. On my internet connection everything runs very fast. If you have loading problems let me know your internet connection speed.

Thank you in advance.

PS: if you can give me some rank name examples it would be awesome.

Interesting... No Loading Problems here mate. Have a 256K DSL.
I especially like the design navigation on the top.

I couldn't think of any special Rank names, I guess you should stick to Basic ones, as it sounds more professional that way. You may design it more attractively like for e.g. we have here at Namepros.

With Opera 9.27 the "websites images scroll" goes beyond the logo at the top and they create a huge top section before the forum options

The site seems to work just fine using Epiphany.

No loading problems here either, 512K DSL..

I don't really like your logo, though. I just don't think it really suits the site. I mean, apart from the logo the site is quite vivid by colors, if you know what I mean.. And the logo's just... kinda left behind? Something lively would look better there... IMO.

Apart from that I really got no complaints. Good job.

Honestly i love the design and color choices for the site. The only thing that bugged me at all is the logo. I dont know any suggestions for it but it just didnt fit right IMO.

As far as speed, im prolly not the one to tell you, im on a T1 connection. So pretty much everything loads perfect lol.

Everything is in place and not looking wierd, IE.

Hi!
The website loads fine here. I like the blues that you chose for the website, and the logo design. They fit well together. I do not see any browser issues or speed issues. (Firefox, Comcast high speed connection)

Very well done forum skin!

It loads perfectly fine here.

It has a good style/design, only one major thing I would change—the header. I think it is a bit too big, so if you can make it a bit smaller.

Next, other than that, it looks great. But remembers, forums are really hard to get started properly, so I would do some investing in advertising (if you are really serious about it

)

Loads good. Looks great. Ditch the logo and get something a little more professional. I especially don't like the cheap scotch tape look. It looks just that - cheap. The rest of your site is so brilliantly designed the logo is just a big smudge on your site in an otherwise perfect design.

I'm not sure I like the sticky note thing either. Otherwise I love the design and the colors. Very fresh.
