Template Boards Launched
 

Tell me what you think:

http://www.templates911.com/boards/index.php?

Can't comment on the style/template side of it much, since it is a bought style.

Well the site's about templates so it makes sense to use a 'template' on the forums :p

Yes, but not always pre-made ones. :p

The reasons our Designer choose a pre-made one because he didn't have time to mess with creating one. I also only gave him a day to do it in along with his other projects. :p

He's not much of a designer if he buys templates then is he ;).

Well he creates all the templates for Templates911. :) Take a look and see if he's much of a designer. ;)

He's quite good but what I'm saying is he's lowered his level by buying a template for your forum, when he's YOUR designer, he should be designing and not buying templates. That's all I'm saying :).

It looks as if you are an affiliate of or are selling templates from 4Templates, since the templates and the preview icons you are using are the same.

Your actual product pages are a bit messed up and look to be including in the navigation section instead of on the page.

As for the forum, if you are going to sell templates, it would best to showcase your own, not someone elses as you are trying to sell yours not others.

The pop-ups are also very annoying.

We're a real close affiliate to 4templates.com I know the owners and really close friends to them.

The key to a successful community is for the Administrator to have time to design a look just for their forum, and maintain the forum.

I suggest that your designer somehow finds the time, because a new style can make all the difference.

Oh no doubt we will get a new one. This is just one to use while he's designing it. I just didn't want the boards to use the default style. :p

with 5 min of some simple template mods you could ahve had a close design to what your the rest of your site looks like, the popups are uber annoying

It doesn't take long to just make up a simple style. But that is your choice.
