[The Wise One]

greetings to all :)

looking for opinions. i think i pretty much have my forums the way i want them.

this is my first ever vbulletin board and i am really new to how it works and how the code works.

http://forum.hel-razor.com

i have a number of template mods i have done from both here and vbulletin.com. cant remember what or by who they were originally written by but im sure you would recognize most of them.

only thing left for me to do that i can see is maybe change the banner (not sure if im happy with it yet) and redo all of the buttons to custom buttons...

remember...im a newbie so be gentle...but honest :)

thanks in advance :)

The layout is neat and nice, but I am not a fan of the colors. I think you need more variety in your color scheme then just black and red gradients. Otherwise, it is nice. :)

thanks for the feedback :)

i made it to try and match my site (which is also my first site) but the red on the site is a darker red.

You can use some of those greys in the images as nice table colors. :)

And for your forums, I think it's always good to have a different color than the page/body background, so its not same color on same color. Providing contrast and change IMO is key to great styles.

update:

re-designed header and buttons. opinions/criticism welcome.

I still can't tell the difference between your alternating tables and your page background. You need more difference IMO. :)

yah...i was playing around with that off and on for awhile...couldnt seem to come up with a combo that i liked. gave up on it and started working on the header and buttons.

figure i would finish up with the footer (have no idea what i want to do there yet...) and then give the alternating tables another go...
