i like it...looks very clean but too much like vbseo. i would change to colors, background, or atleast the statusicons.

what about to blue? www.enomtalk.com the image there is what i was going to do a different forum as. Its hard to find statusicons that work with a style.. and look good.. Imo they are fine.. :) if anything they will change as the colour off the site will. But atm simple colour changes aren't top priority. :)

Recently done http://www.resellerclubtalk.com/posting_rules.gif made it work with vbseo's linkback, refback and pingback information.

Looks good, noob question here, how did you do the different colors in each section from white to grey?

i like the blue better...

i think vbseo is a very sharp style. (one of the best) i just wouldnt use it cuz vbseo is so big and visited. but i guess if a majority of your members arnt vb admins or from the vb communities they would never know so it would be a unfair critique for me to make.

i do like the site. its layed out nice and im a big fan of your advertisement page. that looks very proffesional.

well... hmm , i find it hmm not so attractive , or easy to use .

Looks like default vb, but with some green buttons , and a few addons on postbit.

The header, as i mentioned to someone else, its a bit big, take this site for example, great way to put a header into use...

you are missing the quick links and all those, i think they are very useful, i would use them, and i see you plan to have 2 adds on the header, i think thats too much..... Your own logo, REGISTER, 2 banners, log in , a few links ...

Other than that, if you want uniqueness , change icons, make more "webmaster" type.

as of now , i would say 6 out of 10...

In style options

Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> All Style Options

and edit

First Alternating Color (Customized in this Style)
and
Second Alternating Color (Customized in this Style)

hope it helps

if you mean form thread to thread and forum to forum , that has to do with alt styles .

I know how to edit the alt colors, but ive never seen them go from on color to a next vertically, how did you do that? haha.:erm:

as of now , i would say 6 out of 10...Thats what the "vBSeo style" is based upon, Header is perfect size imo.. (it was bigger but i reduced it), and the only image i have in the header is the Logo (http://www.resellerclubtalk.com/images/vbseo_skin_1.0/logo.gif), The other parkt is text.

Which quick links???
There is only 1 banner, advertisement page is only in beta, and not fully public. the "links" will be changed to maybe` Blogs, Advertisement, Contact Us. There will be only 1 banner. :) The register button, i forget is there, still only guests can view it.. I'm not interested in making it "webmaster" like, as im not into that :S most the popular webmaster sites, have a uniquie style, which is clean and smooth. And will get around to doing it.. But for a new site, it will do. Thanks for your rating. :) more critques please

Can't really discuss how its been done on my site, since the style is private and only for vBSEO members. :(

I have seen too many forums using the vbseo style. Although it is a clean style, it's overused now.

lmao, it wasnt released that long ago.. -.- - this isnt mainly a rant about the vbseo style. After all its only a style, which can be changed in a fraction off a second.
