vbEnhancer.com is calling for a deep review of the whole site

[nexialys]

My Site: http://vbEnhancer.com
Topic: nexialys' portfolio and support forum...
Target: any vBulletin forum owner...

The site is actually more my portfolio than a vBulletin support forum, because we are not providing any support for general usage of vBulletin. The only support offered on it is related to my/our products.

Style is basic, colors were added just to make a transition between the default style and some identity. So the styles does not need a real review, but you can always say what you think.

Forum structure... because it's a support site, mainly, do you think the forums, their topics and the structure is good?

I try to make the site a showroom for our engines and products, so there is a lot of custom addons displayed and to be installed in the next weeks, as i'm releasing at least one new product each 2 or 3 days...

What do you think of the principle of taking-over some products that are from other coders who left the community? i negociate with all the coders to let me re-release these addons that are sometimes very useful or at least very inspiring for new stuff. A good example is iTrader which was mostly left over by Jason because he had no more time for it...

We will implement a real coders directory in the next weeks, when enough coders are interested to use the site as another solution for advertising their product. if it does not work, we will not spend our time announcing it for nothing, but we will find something else.

your opinion ?!

[RedeemedWarrior]

Well i happen to think the colours are fantastic i love the simplcity of it, its stylish and elegant at the same time .

as for the concept etc, it sounds extremely promising and i'm very much looking forward to trying out some of the modifications promised.

all in all a place i'll be checking out more and more often

[Shelley_c]

Hmmmmm! What can I say? seriously? I insulted a shop assistant today by asking what part of america she was from and her replying that is the biggest insult I could have said to her. She was Canadian. :erm:

Looks like the same structure as before so nothing new to say about the site.

[nexialys]

lol... that assistant may have been Canadian, that was not wrong to say she was from America anyway... (ok, here we call Americans the people from USA, but hey, she was stupid enough to see only that detail)

and for the structure, you were one of the few to see it from a long time ago, so yeap for you it was not different...l ol

[iogames]

I got registered months ago, and now log me out every 30 secs :eek:

Ah very professional and neat... although my faith on vB is fading :(

[Brandon Sheley]

I stumbled on this site a few days ago looking for the itrader hack, it's very sharp, looks great.
I would like to see a side column or better navigation of some sorts, and maybe something in the top left.. it seems sorta empty right now

Best of luck with the site nexi, I posted about it on our forums, I'm sure a few will be checking it out from those links.

[nexialys]

it log you out?... you're the only one for now... strange, i will take a look.

@Brandon, visit the site again, while you were posting this comment i was adding a sidebar with the list of the latest releases... (2 or 3 per week will make this listing change a lot!)...

and you're welcome to talk about the site, even backlink me.. :)

looking better :)

I'll send you a pm about links :up:

[KevinL]

I've already said what I think about your site on your site ;)

...It's a great site and an extremely valuable source for stuff that should already be default and beyond haha

[nexialys]

if my stuff worth being default in vB, that makes Jelsoft's job way easier, they do not have to recode their engine, people just have to install my stuff... rofl!

joke apart, as i worked on phpBB, IPB, and some other competitors, i know what can be missing or is different... sometimes we display stuff that we think need a redesign, sometimes it's just my point of view, and most of the time it's people's requests... i do not tend to replace Jelsoft's views, it's different, that's all... :)

and the colors of my style?... people said to me it was a rush in the eye... lol

[KevinL]

hahaha A different point of view is all it takes sometimes to get things right ;)

The colors, I actually like. It's different which is good. It's not crazy over the top or anything. The only things I see to change are the little default icons (last post, the folders, post icons and such) ;) The orange and green isn't over powering and for some reason you (anyone) can never go wrong with the blue haha

The forumhome is nice and streamlined which I like also. It makes it easy to find everything. Same with the thread views, how your RSS are setup it just makes the flow so much better.

[nexialys]

yeah, icons, a plague.. lol... i'll see what i can do, i'm suppose to release some icons packs in the next weeks, i may have to generate one official for my site as well.. lol

[iogames]

I really trust on this to be a professional step on the vB world, I have longed for something like this...

but I can't access My Profile!!!

[Taragon]

but I can't access My Profile!!!
http://vbenhancer.com/rules-guidelines/most-profile-features-disabled-why/2247/#post12483

The PM function seems to be currently disabled however.

[nexialys]

yeah, i'll re-establish some features as we add more and more enhancements for them...

edit, ok, now everything is back to normal.. lol

[Shelley_c]

How long are you staying open for? 9-5 mon to fri closed on weekends or are we permanently up 24/7 now? Reminds me of another site I know about *looks at her signature*

[nexialys]

as the site was privately opened 24/7 for the last 3 years, i don't know what to say now that it is publically open and i have some staff working for me.. lol

[Xtrato]

hey whole content is great , good navigation , though its kind of a bit dull.,

make it more interesting just to look at ( graphic wise ) .. but its has good content , mods , and user friendly interface.

A little more unique feel would sure put it on top of peoples list .

I like nonetheless

[nexialys]

yeah, i know, i can not focus on the style, the goal of the site is to avoid making it too customized so the visitors know we're in a vBulletin showroom... :)

and yeap, this interface is dull... lol

[iogames]

Bring the Boofo back!

[nexialys]

hum, this is a personal topic Josh, but i'm trying.. lol

[iogames]

Ok sir... so if I'm understanding correctly: can I go to your site and get serious responses to my problems on vB... or it's mainly support for your products? :cool:

[nexialys]

in any vBulletin support forum you will have the possibility that your questions are left unanswered, because maybe we're not the place where they can be answered... my site is not different from vb.org when you ask a question, i'm not god, neither the other guys in the staff... ok, i'm the master of my domain, the domain name, not the vBulletin domain. (you see the word game i hope)

But yes, as you can read here: http://vbenhancer.com/your-questions-our-answers/can-you-help-me-free-my/4600/ we redirect people to vbulletin.com and vbulletin.org when they need support...

[iogames]

Hey Peter... your site log me out every second and doesn't let me post nowhere...

p.s. is your site racist against smart handsome ppl or what? :confused:

[nexialys]

i have no idea, Bob, you're the only one reporting this situation to me... i checked that out, nothing is making trouble... i'll double check now!

[KevinL]

I have no problem with it...so it must like smart handsome people :p

[RedeemedWarrior]

I have no problem with it...so it must like smart handsome people :p

same here it even sings to me, compliments my haircut and offer's me a selection of differant chilled soda's

it must love handsome welsh people ;)

[nexialys]

ok, guys, stop the sarcasms, it does not help my reviews a bit...

rofl

[smacklan]

I'll give you a review...I think your ego will be your downfall. What is this crap about integrating (with respect...your own words) some warez site full of nothing but punka** thieves into your site that is "becoming the closest menace to vBulletin.org these days"?

For those of you wondering what I'm talking about, do a little google search on vb warez and you'll quickly find out what I'm talking about.

I wouldn't touch you or your stuff with someone else's 10 foot pole. Warning to all you vb users here...you should really investigate who you choose to associate with or do business with from here as there are many, like Nexia, who are not as they would have you believe they are. :mad:

[nexialys]

hum, what are you talking about John ?

can you provide anything like a proof of the crap you're reporting here... you make accusations about what here?

-------

ok an update on John's accusations, i verified with the source, and yes, he is spying on vbTeam to see if everybody is a spy for the devil. He have read a sarcastic post i've made last week about a moron who was praying for that site, making so much apraise, it was pathetic... (a bit like John right now)... as all your styles are on that site for free John, i suppose you are great friend with them?

next time you try to make false accusations and try to break someone's reputation, do it with someone else...

[Boosted Panda]

Hmmmmm! What can I say? seriously? I insulted a shop assistant today by asking what part of america she was from and her replying that is the biggest insult I could have said to her. She was Canadian. :erm:

Looks like the same structure as before so nothing new to say about the site.

Should have asked her if she was french.

[iogames]

I will suggest a PR Guy :)

nice site really I smell professionalism in the environment, so I will try solve my issue

[nexialys]

strangely Josh, i know your problem, i've seen it in a lot of forums with always the same cookies problem, but right now it's not that cookie problem, because i checked all these details.

what is your browser again?

[iogames]

FF... when I use Chrome or IE I stay a little more... but I know is a cookie problem, just that I can't post nowhere...

[ragtek]

i also have the logoutproblem wirh ff

[nexialys]

hum, i'll deactivate the AdSEnse thing for a period, and see...

[smacklan]

next time you try to make false accusations and try to break someone's reputation, do it with someone else...
umm, yeah. A search of your posts there show you apparently like to chum up with them. My skins (and plenty of mods from here) are there because that place is full of thieves...you're there for exactly what reason...to make that bunch believe IB would actually offer you money for your site before it destroys vb.org or are you secret agent man spying on the enemy? Ever heard of guilt by association?

[nexialys]

actually, not...

i'm member of that site because my stuff was stolen by them a long time ago, i registered to see if i was able to talk with the admins to stop distributing my stuff, and yes they agreed... because i was polite enough. and then i asked for some testers on a tool i was recoding -- Ico-Content... (ask the author if i had the right to do so)... and they were very useful slaves for that testing. and now and then, i come to say hello, because i'm stupid and post stupid things on that site that is dying by abandon of serious...

can you just get out and play with your styles instead of making stupid accusations

edit: please stop editing your posts to look smarter than you actually are... i reported your posts anyway.

[smacklan]

Whatever. I see no need to kiss some punk's arse to try and get them to stop robbing me...I take a more serious approach. I'm not a fool Nexia. Chum up with them and you will get exactly what you're getting from me...disdain and highly suspicious of anything you have to say to the contrary.

[nexialys]

thanks, John, we got your point... and hopefully, with the number of real clients i had in the past years, i can say that nobody is frisky making business with me...

that's good actually, that you bring that point... people would be asking one day if it was safe to use my stuff on their forum. i would say... Ask John, he spied on me, found that my stuff was available for pirates, and these pirates are happy with my work... they use it, so we can evaluate that it is good enough...

edit: i mostly forgot... all the visitors of my site are informed that i had contact with these "punks"... http://vbenhancer.com/your-questions-our-answers/regarding-hackers-pirates-nullifiers-sorry-but/2448/ ... and i still continue to have 10 to 15 new registrations per day... looks like people are not as anxious as you can be about how the web is built...

[ssslippy]

One very annoying issue is your thread prefix's are links and blend with the thread link.

[nexialys]

yeah, i noticed that yesterday, i'll make some adjustment, thanks...

[Paul M]

Please remember this is a review topic, not a place for trading insults, any more will be deleted.

I know your not looking for a "style" review, but since it is the first thing you see when your going to your forum and I didn't feel like looking at the rest I thought I would give you a short review.

1) Design looks terribad
2) Attitude is worse.

If I were you I would take ".com" out of your logo at the top of your website...in sigs it's fine...just my 2c.

Good luck to your site & yourself.

[nexialys]

can you go into more details please?...

you talk about the look (strangely, the word terribad is not in wikipedia...)

and you talk about what attitude here?!

thanks for the comment about the dot com, but if that's the only detail you have to comment, your terribad is not that much useful...
