Hey all.... I thought it'd be amusing to confront the wolves today (that would be those of you who decide to go and look

) and get some feedback on the style of my latest baby. The forum itself is not open to the public yet (although it is viewable to all) and the style is still a W.I.P. (at least for the next couple of days). There are plugins installed and some may be getting removed, depending on my mood tomorrow

Mainly I'd like some feedback on the actual style - every image is customised (or will be when we're completely finished in the next day or so) so any suggestions or comments would be appreciated.

So, after all that waffle I guess you want the url huh..... http://gfxutopia.com/forum

Thanks guys n gals

Sweet, I'm lovin' the skin. Great job!

Thanks, Aftermath! We've just changed our user legend to something a little more funky - you might like it

Wow that's much better. I really like that but the problem is its using too many images so be sure to reduce that and fix the width of the skin. Other than that it's good.

I really like that colour scheme - good combination with the purple and you didn't overuse it either which is good. Well done.

The way the user legend was sliced warrants the amount of images as there are rollover effects in place which doubles the standard amount. As more usergroups are added the amount of images will increase. If there's an alternative I'm open to ideas and would gladfully re-slice and customize the User Legend.

Fix the width? I'm not quite sure what you mean?

More suggestions would be appreciated as it's still a w.i.p and I'm really looking into improving the whole design.

Edit If you meant fixing the width to compensate for the 800 x 600 users I may still fix this but it's not set in stone. It would only entail a small modification to the logo which I may do when it's nearing the completion stage.

Is there a link for this user legend? :bunny:

Nope, Shelley_c designed it specially for GFXU

I find it a hard to read anything on that site.
Personally, I think it's a poor choice in color ...

If you want to increase traffic/registration/participation, I suggest changing the colors. You need to provide more contrast!

There are a number of styles avaialble, Princeton - not just the dark one

Although, the text is an off-white/grey colour and looks pretty clear on my monitor - but monitors are calibrated differently so it's good to be aware of this issue - I'll look into changing the font colour to another lighter one
