My site is for skins & design mostly. I offer skins on the site for free & purchase and its in working progress right now as there are a few bugs to work out. Just want to get thoughts on the site. Thanks

No one?

Not bad. I would suggest working on the default skins forum icons (buttons and status icons). I'm not a fan of the header. That can be improved a lot by choosing better fonts. If you sell styles, then I wouldn't display a lot of advertisements. If your doing custom designing, I would replace all default vbulletin graphics. Take a look at my site (click my sig image) and my site should give you a few ideas. Anyhow keep up the good work. And most importantly pratice your photoshop skills. :)

Thanks.

Hey MP - your Google ad on the right of the main logo is off in Opera - extends the style way out of line...

It's pleasing on the eyes - the default skin is simple enough and lets the visitor know right away what your site is about.

One thing I'd change is to put the main forum link http://www.mpdesignz.com/forum.php in the header where you have Home, Portfolio & Contact links ---- would keep the surfer from having to search all over for the forums link...

I wonder also if there's a way to have the Skins Store have the same style/design as the forum & homepage?

Other than that, it's a nice site. Good job!

I'm including a screencap of the google adsense issue :)

Jacquii.

FYI - just checked your site in FF2 And IE7 ---- Same issue with the adsense...

Lovely looks like we both have issues LOL. I'll check on the Opera problem. Had some trouble with the banner when I first did the skin might just take out that google ad and do something else there. Will be working on it tomorrow again.

As for the store, yes it is possible to skin it the same as the forums & the rest of the pages. I just have not gotten to it yet, but that is already in the plans. I have to fix the header first.

Funny I have firefox 2.0 and the google ad does not do that on mine. It does not do it on IE 7.0 either on mine.

As for the forums link I may change the header all together to make it work better and include the link when I do recode the skin.

Thanks for you input!

MP

LOL - no prob ---- I was actually thinking the same thing LOL = issues issues issues.
Funny thing ain't it?

Anyway - have fun with it ;)

Jacquii.

Yeah many issues. :D That's ok my life has issues LOL. Thanks for the heads up :D

I've released a new site design! Check it out!

http://www.mpdesignz.com

I like it = definitely unique and quite different.
The only thing I can point out though - there's a few of the dropdown links that are apparently missing images which makes the Contact link a little out of line...
Other than that a very good job = Congrats!

Jacquii.

**NOTE** the screenshot is view in Opera 9 --- The site looks fine in both FF2 and IE though!

Nuts I use firefox nad forgot in IE it will look funny LOL I'll fix those in the next day or two :D Thanks for reminding me :D

MP

No prob - Actually it looks pretty damn good in IE - the screencap was from viewing in Opera 9 --- Anyway - good luck with it - you did a very good job with it ;)

Jacquii.

All fixed! :D Thanks


MP

I see red Xs every where :( i think from just missing this file though?

http://www.mpdesignz.com/images/icons/icon1.gif

I see no red X's anywhere. Where exactly are you seeing them?


MP

Those red x's only show in IE6 and under so it seems to me that you are missing the (http://audentio.com/forums/images/icons/icon1.gif) icon.

I hate IE :( But I fixed it. :D


Thanks for the info

MP

Looking good ;)

Thanks

Got a new design up on teh site, however I had to move my vbuleltin board to my skinz site and change it in my member area.

As a designer the thing that stands out at me is the:

"Site is best viewed in Firefox 2.0 + & at 1024X768 Resolution."

Good designs are flexible and will work in any browser at any resolution. Best viewed seems like another way of saying "My code doesnt work in these browsers".

The only reason I have that on there is because I run Linux on my machine and cannot get IE installed to see how it looks in IE. There is an IE clone but I have not been able to get it to work yet. As far as the resolution, most people now have 1024X768 monitors and the site was made to be 1024 in width because of that fact.

Your vBA tabs are a little hosed in IE. You have to highlight the text to even see it.

I hate IE :( I'll have to see how to fix it. Thanks.
