After working for a very long time I think I finally have my board in a state that can at least accept members and begin it's actual life as a message board.
The concept of the board is freecycling for local cities in ontario, as well as events and stuff going on around town.
Most of the people using the board will likely not be computer savvy users so I would also like to know how the board will "look" to those types of people.
If anyone happens to notice anything that seems out of place for a guest user PLEASE let me know so I can get it fixed up asap.
www.ontariounlimited.ca is the main page, based on vbulletin. /Forums is the forum directory (CASE sensitive)
Thanks for looking.

nothing? I know I didn't make a site that was perfect from the get go....
I'm a coder so what do I know - but the only thing that really strikes me about it is that I'd think you'd want something other than the vBulletin logo in the upper left corner. But maybe you just haven't gotten around to that part yet.

I couldn't agree more with you.....sadly I can't find anyone to do even a simple graphic for me, and my skills with graphics are...........lacking, to say the least.
thanks for the input though, I do appreciate it, even more so as your the only one so far :)

oh, totally forgot about that. Done now.
How were you able to determine where the test site was? is that through licensing and callbacks, or did I do something that made that directory available/visible to anyone?

Honestly I had no idea what "Freecycling" was until I googled it... I thought it was some form of bicycle riding...

You may get better replies from the "Graphics Request" Forum but if you are desperate for a logo I came up with this:

You should also make a custom favicon as well...
Instructions here: http://tools.dynamicdrive.com/favicon/
and a small image you can use is attached.

looks pretty good man, springchikin also made me one and posted it on the board. I actually like the font and color he used, it blended really well with the default skin. I want to see if he can make it a bit longer.
Right now I'm using this one here, and it looks pretty good too.

If you need to find a recycling logo you can legally use, or any other clip-art, try here; http://www.clker.com/
That's where I got the "O" in the logo.

If you want help with the site just message me, I actually live in ontario and very savvy when it comes to graphics and web development.
