It takes a while to get your site perfect, maybe years, but to get a site online and looking good should be a week, month tops.

Here is my review, opinion if you will...


1. why is your logo hosted on photobucket? behind my work firewall i cant even see it....host it onsite.

2. skins too dark and not very "car-y" IMO, toyota is a kind of light hearted, earth friendly, vibrant brand, reflect that on your site.

3. dark blue on black in the welcome message on the homepage is super hard to read, welcome message is bland, like someone said above, add a image or something there.

4. I see under the welcome on the homepage "You don't have permission to see the Chatbox." well that sucks, it is offputting for a guest to see that IMO....people aren't going to register just to see that...

5. homepage in general is off balance with a tall right side with thread and a short left side column, fill up that blank space.

6. guests see a "new post" link in the sidebar on the hompage that take you to a no permissions menu, again, off-putting. same with usercp link, you can hide/change this for guests so there aren't so many bumps in the road. same with the top navbar "quicklinks" "search" and "content" don't work for guests, fix them or remove them. also why have a "logout" button when you are not even logged in.

7. "tune my toyota" is the name, yet we have a multitude of corolla sections and not any other models, that is strange......

That's about all the major points, should give you plenty to do. You came here and made this thread to get advice, every post in the thread so far has had good advice in it, take the advice, make your site better, thank the posters here, and prosper.

1. cuz i cant figure out how to host it..lol..
2. i now offer 6 different skins that the user can pick from :-)
3.fixed (i think lol)
4.thats just how it is...im working on finding a solution to that..cuz i dont like it either..
5.working on that also.
6.fixed
7.well..it just kinda happened that way..and its too late to change the name.
