Mastering the Markets
 

Any comments? It is still in the works so some parts are still blocked.

Looks great, lots of nice information on your forum homepage. Your category headers are a bit screwed up when the name of the category spans onto two lines. You might want to fix that by making the category name shorter or the forum blocks a little wider. The domain name for me is a bit too long. Also the fact it has a 2 in the name seems a little odd? The only other thing I would suggest is the welcome message at the top of the page. Change it and add a little about your forum, so new users know exactly what the site is about. Also it should help your search-engine rankin a little bit more :)

Best of luck with your site!

Overall it is very nice and appealing. I would remove that wizard thing and extending the header image to fill the gap. If I am not mistaken that wizard is the microsoft assistant plug in and isn't compatible on some browsers and operating systems. The rest is well laid out and unique.

A+

Thanks,

All that you mentioned are on the working list. I have'nt advertised for my site or promoted it yet, so it is still a work in progress. I have about 2 more months of work before I start targeting people.

The 2 in the domain name is becasue I have to sites I am playing with due to being pigeon holed by hosts so many times, trying to get that straight.

Jeez, it looks great man ;) Seriously - since I was last there, it's really taken a huge leap :) Well done.

Nice use of the styl'in thread icons :) forumhome is atad cramped for me but overall very nice.

LOL. Sorry, I should have mentioned that Natch was a major contributor for my site design and functionality.

I would recommend his service to everyone!

On a scale of 1 to 10, I would give Natch a 9.99 for those who need work done.

There are things that need to be adjusted, but thats all on me for I am trying to figure out the best way to lay it out.

Thanks everyone for your comments.

Nice work, but I agree with Zachery, the top of the forumhome is very cluttered with tables. Need a bit more spacing, I think.

I love the criticism, keep it coming! I made some adjustments based on the comments posted. Take a look now and let me know if that makes it look better. another thing I have to do is swap the columns to fix the sizing and alignment issue for when the browser is not maximized.

Thanks everyone,

Ok, forum home is done for the most part. I am going to keep the wizard for most of my users use I.E. Any more suggestions would be great.

I like it all :D

....except ;)

The ugly boreder around the menu at the top. Like a...teal(?)..ish color? Bleh. :P

LOL,

Thanks Tekton,

Taken into consideration and you are probably right.

That should do it, now it has just a smidge of it and is not as overwhelming as it was.
