Hello Fellow vBulletinTemplates.com Members,

I would appreciate it if you could take some time out of your schedule to review WebHostCafe.net. We have been opened for a short time and would like everyone's comments. If you would like to contact me via AIM, my screen name is 'WHC Chat'. Thank you for your time.

WebHostCafe is a great community for anything concerning Web Hosts/Control Panels/Starting a Business/etc. We have modified the forumhome, postbit, header, footer, etc.

its nice. its a VERY unique template, that looks great.

i have one small suggestion. When a user has no avatar, it looks kinda stupid with those corners where the avatar should be. i suggest using one of the hacks from vbulletin.org to display a default avatar. just my $.02!

Otherwise, its a GREAT looking site

Yea, I was thinking about that earliy today. I was also thinking about setting the bg to a 'No Ava' image, but this would interfere with those who would have an ava with transparent parts.

Pretty good. Like the colors. :)

The sidebar looks a little out of place though.

[Cypher720]

Wow! I must say that your forums are defintely one of the best I have seen in a long time -IMO:)

I really like the design and colours.
And the postbit is really funky as well.

Great job:)

Overall it is nice, although too many web hosting boards are starting (I see a new hosting board at the rate I see another rap/hip-hop board start which is about daily) and each uses the same general layout as WebHostingTalk.com, the forum and the side bar, which I find to be lacking originality.

The design is different, but the general layout and concept is not. I would work on adding a style that will attract more people rather than looking like another (even in the smallest bit). I understand that you can only modify a board so much, but ihosts is a primary example, while they too use the sidebar, their overall design concept is new, few boards look like theirs.

Originality is what pulls people to your website, the next being content, without either it is just another board.

I am not saying this to be rude, just my thoughts :).

I have to agree about the Rap/Hip Hop forums. Too many, although mine has a Rap/Hip Hop section it's an overall Music forum which isn't so common. :)

Yea, I'll look into designing a new style soon.
