Default Alcohol Report

http://forum.alcoholreport.com

My site is a gathering place for alcohol enthusiasts. We've just barely been open for over one month now.

People post reviews on different drinks, recipes, and stories in our general discussion area.

Please give me your feedback:

I like this style. Most of the images compliment the style very well so nice work on keeping things looking consistent. Overall it's a nice style.

However, There are still a few default images lingering on the style and I would really try and change them for custom images which you can most likely find in the vb.org database. Another image I think you ought to change is the Lastpost.gif as it's very hard to make out and people who have sight problems will have an even greater issue seeing it.

That said, I like the style and the images you've applied onto the style. Nice work.

Do I get a free drink for reviewing your board?

Thanks! I'll take a look at the default images that are still being used and see if I can find suitable replacements.

Sure! If you're ever in Louisiana, give me a shout.

nice site. I'm an alcoholic myself too (alcohol enthusiast =)) so I'm definitely gonna return back to your site. You might wanna consider incorporating beer/wine alcohol related gif's (like shot glasses or wine glasses, or beer bottles, cans, etc) as buttons or icons. Just a thought

I had different colored shot glasses as the forum status icons, but I removed them. I liked the idea though, so I'll probably try to get some more made.

Hey Shorty, what's up? Guess it's my turn to review your site.

I like the header, very simple and suits the theme of your forum very well.

I definitely have to compliment you on your board's activity -- 154 Members and more than 13,000 Posts, wow!

If I had to say something negative about the forum, it's that it could be more customized to reflect the overall theme of your board; but that's not a huge deal.

That's after being open for around five weeks.

I agree, and I'm going to try to add some small touches in the future...

Thanks for the feedback.
