Hi,

Just recently completed skinning my vBulletin 3.6.x forum, would like some feedback on the design and layout.

You're not really missing out on any design features as a guest, other than this box:

I had to change the important vBmenus to my own css-based code since they don't appear to work in a bunch of new webkit-based browsers.

Thanks for any comments. :]

You are using a rather old version of vBulletin, might suggest you update to at least 3.7 or 3.8.

Pretty good styling though, kudos for that!

Nicely done, I like the way it looks.

I'm aware it's old, but money is a bit of an issue. In a perfect world I'd upgrade to 3.8 on the spot. :[

Thanks though! :D

You could, however, upgrade to the highest vBulletin your license allows :D

I didn't say anything about the version :)

You are welcome. You have done really a good job on the look and the integration.

Yep. Which is 3.6 *cries*

It was a kinda spur of the moment thing. Remembered I had a license from a couple of years ago and decided to use that instead of phpbb or something.

I'm happy that feedback is positive, I'm always worried what others think of my work.. Especially if it was all from the top of my head, without planning. O.o

add a tag line to your logo, i have no idea what your site is about.

I don't think a tagline would be a good idea. You'll find out what the site is about when you go to the index, there's a long spiel.

Most users won't be directed straight to the forums, they'd see the main site first.

Note: The main site isn't finished yet, but the idea is there.

Edit: I've changed the forum title so it has the tagline throughout the rest of the site, but I'm not altering the logo. Thanks for the feedback.
