Hi All,

This is still a work in progress, the front page is done but new aspects to be added soon and the blog section needs to some work, forum skin to come later in the year + alterations to define editorial areas, but any feedback is welcomed

P.S. has anyone ever seen a mod that can wrap text around an image?

This is very rare coming from my mouth (or I guess in this case, my hands), but this is an excellent use of vBadvanced. This is what I want to see when someone has it installed, and not your typical "latest news" with the same old boring side blocks, and no real nice navigation. You've done well with that.

The forums? A lot of it is default, and I think some things need to be adjusted and fixed, such as:

Why would a mod be needed? You should just be able to do it with CSS. Float the image (left or right), and give it a margin so that the text isn't right up against it.

Hey thanks for the feedback Yeah loads of work to be done on the forums, as you can see the pictures need to be sorted but eventually that will all look just like the front page

I always feel that VBA done right shouldn't look like VB at all, instead it should look like a proper bespoke website, none of that standard VBA box stuff, so thinking "out of the box" in more ways than one. But this is early, I'll post again when more developments come together

ok , well lets see now , lets keep on reviewing !!.

The front page is well organized , your logo is unique , i like it , good use of header space for your ads , navigation is well set , good to the point , simple easy to use.

next : forums > you totally killed the mood of your site here... im sorry but a stock vBulletin Skin on a custom overall site does not go well , ( in my perspective ) , i think you should customize the forums according , with same colors , or at least same concept as the front page.

So. that's what i would do , my suggestion.

Hope it helps.

Very nice web 2.0 feel to the front page and menus.

Great use of vbadvanced - perhaps too many images on the front page though
Try integrate the style of the gallery a bit more

Im not a big fan of the default vBulletin skin and on your dark background it sticks out like a sore thumb. Other than that, your main page is gorgeous.

good job on the forums , like the customization! , thought your message here : http://vvvgamer.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7405 is not matching with colors...

Also , that bar is making my browser slow.. laggy , and well it bugs me , i wouldnt visit your site for that , might consider something else ..

My thoughts however , the rest of the site can use some heavy work , but other than that , i think you have a good site.

Thanks Xtrato,

Yeah its very slow, we need to optimise the site and the red bar may be changed, a bunch of bugs to fix, I think it'll run and look a lot better when they're done. I'll go away again for a few months and come back when I have a bit more progress.
