Vbulletin design
 

Girls, Guys, just wanted to get some honest feedback on the following site:

www.expatious.com -- context: this is a Swiss Expat community forum

Am especially interested to hear your views on how the forum interlinks with the main page, the blog and the market place (although the latter one is not that important). Do you feel the forum is intuitive, too many topics, simple to log on, speed of the server ok?, etc. Finally, what would you change to make this site more succesful.

Thanks for your feedback!

Hello!
Nice website I enjoy the light colouring but I would recommend for you to fix up the forum part. Looks too original like the default vb skin just a little changed up.
Maybe change the misc/icons up as well

Overall: good stuff!

It doesn't. Thought the color scheme matches, the headers on your mainsite and forum make for a totally different look.

Why not bring your mainsite header and navbar over to your vBulletin install?

Also - I agree with the above poster about the main forum index icons too. Basically your vBulletin install is out-of-box vBulletin; you've changed the logo, the fluid style to fixed and a few color changes...

J.

Looks great!

Are you using a wordpress bridge to bring users across from wordpress into vbulletin/microclassifieds?

I'd expand the header on the forum so that it matches the wordpress side exactly.. maybe make a continual nav bar and edit/remove the main navbar in vbulletin..
