Help me review my custom style

[Jay...]

over the past few days i have been working on a custom style for my site - www.donked.net (http://www.donked.net/forum/index.php). The basics are done, its now down to the fiddly bits (buttons etc, etc.) - i'd prefer to get feedback before it is finished.

The site is a clubbing a forum, however, i decided not to go for your bog standard clubbing theme as these are generally quite dark and uninviting, therefore, i thought i would go for something completely random.

anyhow, some feedback would be nice please.

Jay

design is now almost completed, again, just the buttons to do and i think i am finished

Love the site Jay!

Really neat, uncluttered layout.

My only very small gripe, is I find the all the white links, on the grey bars a bit tough to read. My eyes aren't that great though.

Otherwise, good stuff!

Thanks!

ill have a mess around with the colours later on to see if i can make it clearer. Im just in the middle of making the buttons for the site - its a right mess about as my buttons are PNG, so im having to rewrite certain parts of the style templates.

[Jay...]

anyone else?

[parash]

i Liked the way u have managed your forum pretty sure i am willing to get something like this in near future for upcoming project i guess...especially gives a Nice attention to any users using that board.

[AmbitiousOne]

You have the design completed, I love it, very innovative, something new for once. I never really seen a forum design look so ......well put together, argh, good enough words? Ehh, keep working with it.

Now all you need to do is push your site and get those first contributing members.

Good luck.

doubly impressed then!

Okay next question I guess: Is Jay willing to sell me a copy of the style? ;) (as a compromise i'll let him keep the cow :P )

p.s. It might be a donkey - with that beret he has clearly gone undercover before...I wouldn't take anything for granted :P

Thanks for the comments guys, as for selling a copy of my style, it would be near enough impossible to sell i think as it needs a couple of modifications installed to work correctly.

Im still building the site and dont expect it to be up and running for another 2 weeks or so

Jay, I absolutely love the way you have presented your forums. Are you willing to share the layout of how you have done that.

yeah. where do you suggest i put the thread?

[Shill360]

I'm quite new here. But I suppose Template modifications.

Like I say its just the frontpage of the forums with the way you have the catagorys and sub forums displayed. 3 in a row with the graphics. Very cool indeed.

[Jay...]

bump. the site is now open, getting more active day by day

[callumbush]

whoah very quick growth! :) - what is driving this??

I'm guessing you must be some kind of designer?

[jlew24asu]

very unique have never seen that before. good job

[Jay...]

just a freelance designer. the growth is because the site was once the original clubbing website for the northeast. i have re-opened it after 1 year of it being down. i also have access to free advertising from pubs and nightclubs around the northeast (i haven't utilised any of it yet but will be shortly)

[callumbush]

very impressive!

...I have a facebook clubbing group with 5000+ people in it (search for 'dontstayin'), I'll give you a plug when i'm next on.

I'd like get a clubbing forum set up to support the facebook group (just general uk/ireland/usa/ibiza, not a specific region), so I'll give you some exposure on there if it ever goes live....
