Platinum Forums

[lwhite]

Well I just recently reopened my site Platinum Forums (http://www.platinumforums.com). I just reopened it at midnight and I am still tryign to spread the word to the old members, the member tables were lost. At it's peak we had over 1200 members. What do you guys think?

I think you are better off allowing guests to view as I doubt anyone is going to go through the hassle of registration just to offer feedback for you...I know I didn't.

Just a thought.

Well I had it where guest could view the board, and then we had a lot of guest viewing and I never got a response form anyone of vB.org so I just closed it to guest.

the ammount of registed members mean nmothing. users who post actively mean the most

youd be just open and let the guests AT LEAST view the forumhome :)

Pretty nice, don't care for the link color. Also, not sure if this is part of your design or a bug issue...check attachment.

If it is what you meant to do I would consider getting rid of it as it detracts IMO.

Good Luck with your site.

Thanks a lot. I'll fix that by the end of the day. What color do you recommend for the link?

[LLFan]

Not sure, I'll take a screen shot and play around in GIMP to see what I can come up with. Right now the whole overall color scheme looks mute and needs a bit of contrast. The white text works great and is the right color, but the link is not right IMO. Let me play and see what and if I can come up with any colors.

[LLFan]

A simple splash of color here and there will bring some life to it. Here's a good complimentary color that I think would add a lot of life.

Use #b06528 for the forum links and add some lines here and there. See what that looks like.

[lwhite]

Ok i'll work on that. Thanks

just a note: im the one who made the skin, just so no one gets mixed up ;) and I let lwhite use it so there are no problems :)
ill try to add more contrast to it and before i release it show it and see what you guys think

[LLFan]

Just a splash of color and maybe outlining certain sections with a 1px black border to make it a little more clean. That will also give it some contrast. =)
