My Forum: www.ringnews24.com/boxingforum/forum.php

My News Website: www.ringnews24.com

I've tried to match the sites with a similar red theme. Also made images on the forum to match the logo.

Review Please

Anyone?

Forum looks good but too many strong colors on it, i suggest you should organize your footer content, it will be better.

Same as above, too much red going on in the header and navbar. Plus I did a search for my cousin Carl Frampton and couldn't find anything....new champ on the horizon

Thanks for the reply.


I dont have a clue how to do the footer like your website webmaster.

I was looking at a few paid templates/styles that come with a professional looking footer like yours.

I am in middle of updating my Joomla news site, but once thats sorted I will look into buying a new template/style.

That's weird I just did a search and found threads on him.

Disco Dave I rem that name from somewhere was it maybe the old boxing banter forum or bbc forums?

It just, doesn't knock me out or even ring the bell for me. Obvious v4 is obvious.

The CMS is just horrendous - 5.8 MEGAbytes loaded... On 226 requests. Really, really bloated page.

Use this plugin for the footer
If you make the header smaller it would look better, also you seem to have a pop up to this site http://www.bet365.com/en/?script=mainpage.asp if you try to change the style it could pop up at other times not sure if you put it there or someone got access to your site ie a hacker

The joomla site is in the middle of being updated and improved thats why its bad just now. I have someone working on improving it.

Thats why you can see the Joomla Debug Console at the bottom of the page.

The front page doesnt usually look like that.

We had problems updating it to 3.2 but hopefully it will be sorted by the over the weekend.

Thanks I have added that plug in and it looks a lot better. Any idea how to remove the Runs best on HiVelocity Hosting?

Thanks

P.S The bet 365 is a paid advertisment which works as a popunder.

Not trying to be a pinhead but, it doesn't matter what platform it is or what update it has, it is nearly 6 megabytes. It's the content, not the platform. That is equivalent to downloading three music numbers, mp3 format. Show me a fat page and I will show you a slow page, every time.

You can trim 3.8 MB off that just by using gzip compression. There's another 600kb savings available compressing the images. Neither of these has anything to do with upgrading the platform.
