Blubble.com - Site review please.

[Zylantex]

Would anybody like to review my humour site? Blubble.com (http://www.blubble.com)

Thanks.

Don't all rush at once, take your time. Form an orderly queue. :D

I really must stop posting in invsible ink.

To be fair, what is there to review? It's just another one of those sites with a serves-no-purpose vbadvanced front page and a forum with a downloaded style and a shoehorned in logo that doesn't match the skin. I know that sounds harsh, and a nice style doesn't make a popular forum, but as far as reviewing goes there's nothing to comment on. At least not in a positive way :p You don't even have a link to your forum from the front page, I had to work my way to it via other links. Sorry to be so negative, but you did ask, persistantly :D

Definitely agree with Beav` on requiring to have a link to the index of the forums.

[Zylantex]

That exactly what I needed to hear. My fellow admin does the coding and I've been trying to get him to add a forum link to the nav bar with no success. This will convince him of the need, I hope. The logo needs work without a doubt.

Thanks for the feedback.

I visited your forum earlier after seeing it advertised at another forum I frequent. However, since the way to the index page wasn't immediately apparent, I left. I only intended to have a cursory glance at the first page or two, anyway. Yeah, it's unfair, but many guests are only going to pay attention for a few seconds, so you want to do what you can to draw people further in. Along those lines, how about a customized guest welcome message with important links (instead of that seen-it-a-million-times one in place now)? Maybe a history of the forum? A customized FAQ? That's what I did.

That said, I don't mean to act like I know any better. After all, I run a stand-alone, general discussion forum. Also, I saw your stats, so I know you're getting people to your forum. I simply think that my suggestions may help with first impressions, and giving that extra push to get people to press "register."

Regards,

Kevin
