Hi there,

Just wondered if anyone would care to take a look at my forum.

It's my 1st attempt at a forum and has been running for a little over 4 months.

I'm completely open to any suggestions or criticism.

Thanks

Shawn

Hello Ocean
Your colors are nice and calming. A couple of things but just my preference stuff.

The head is nice but a bit tall/big. Doesn't fit well and have to scroll down to much to get to the forum

The sponsored by banners really clutter the forum, especially where you have a lot of them in a row as you scroll vertically.

I'm not a fan of anything scrolling it is kind of makes me dizzy.

I really like your status icons.

Overall, I think your forum is okay but with your topic I think you can do some really creative things.

Have a great weekend.

Gabby

The logo is too big for one thing, but there is too much there ... I don't know where to look.
Also, for some reason I see a link to the admincp??

Thanks for the reply's, it's always good to get an "outsiders" opinion.

We will defiantly be looking into a few things, The problem with fish keeping is that there is lots of different areas and topics within those areas, and although there looks to be a lot there, it is necessary if we are to appeal to all areas of the hobby.

Once again thanks for taking the time to look at the site.

I think you should get rid of one of your ads either above or below the navbar. and the logo could be sized better. but its a nice site for sure. good job

Nice site, I like it

Looks good.

Tooo BIG tho.

I would change stock fonts.

Goto Main css: try changing your font family to ( example )

Code:

segoe ui, arial, "lucida console", sans-serif, "helvetica neue"

I reckon that would just give you that personal edge.
