Brand new today, I am using a theme here called desert sand that I tweaked around to suit my needs. I like a nice and simple design. http://www.thepetfarm.com

Looks fine Eric.

But mate !! Ditch the Adobe Photoshop Shaped Paws, their resolution and pixellation look crap. This sincerly lets your site down.

Its quite a nice style, but a tad uninspiring for a Pet Forum.

Agreed. It's very bland and boring for pets, which are happy and fun. I don't think of brown when I think of pets, I think of bright colors. Take a look at almost any successful pet business's website / store / etc.

Surely you can see a standard here.. It's just what people are familiar with, and it's what comes to mind when you think of your pets.. They're warm and happy.. not cold and drab.

It need some spice. the style is way to plain. I guess im the odd ball but the colors dont bother me. but that style is way to bare bones. I can understand simple but wow simple is a serious under statement. I would consider modifying the bingo style by Minor to suit your needs. it comes in multiple colors and the designer will modify the header to suit your needs for a mere fifty bucks.

Anyways i hope i didn't come off harsh. take it for what its worth. its just one mans opinion. lol at least you didn't go hog crazy like i did. simple and clean are not to be found on my forum anywhere. ;) Anyway good luck with your new endeavor. regardless of the style choice. I love a good pet board.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I have changed the theme to something a little brighter and spruced it up a bit.

There ya go, i like that one much better.

I like yours too man, I am a huge fan of pet forums. :)

hey ericgtr, i just registered on your forum, that style is a wreck. errors everywhere. i posted up some info on your board. I hope you dont mind

lol hey that last post was number 100. lol i was hoping my 100th post would be a little more dramatic. oh well theirs always 500

Yeah, time to find a new theme that one has all sorts of problems. Hopefully one I can use the logo with though. Thanks for registering and sharing but I am going to just nuke the theme tomorrow and go with something different.

hate it when that happens.
