Default My new forums...

I've just offically opened my new forums http://www.alotoftalk.com/ it is probably one of the most complex styles I've made so far. Give it a look and tell me what you think.

Don't like the way the forum information is set out at all. That's more of a personal thing though. What's with the white at the left of the last post box?

The vBulletin copyright is so faint, I can't even read it.

Otherwise, the style is quite nice.

There are so many general talk sites, you're going to have to work hard to get yourself a regular posting member base. Good luck.

I saw the last post thing on one of the vbstyles.com styles and thought I'd give it a try. The white bit on the left is just because of the fact that it is based off of my quotes and code tags just made it easier for me.

I guess I should change the copyright before I get into trouble >_>

I realise that there are alot of general forums around. My previous board was based on anime and it had a medium following so I thought maybe I would attract my previous members and some new ones.

Personally I don't like it. I would probably like it more if it had one of those curved, bubble-looking images around the table, which would fit your style.

try enlarging the font of the forum categories at least twice the current size.

That's a very unique style; to be honest I love it. I wont get into any picky details but when I first saw it, the colors kind of "welcomed me", and made me want to read the posts. I know it sounds funny :laugh: but it's just how it made me feel lol

I'm not real crazy about the colors but I do like the layout. You've done some nice things with the cat headers and it all comes together in a rather unique way...good job and good luck!

such a nice design, and looks like a custom style that always catches attention. though the border less tables takes some adjustments for new users, it looks great!

I like the colors.
I like the idea.
But, it's hardly usable.

2 things stand out -- the red headers and the 'last post'...
I would think that the title of each forum is important and should STAND OUT -- in other words, you should emphasize the forum titles

I would also increase the text size -- your members and new members will appreciate it
