Default Reviews for my sports site much appreciated

My VB Forum has been around for awhile now, but it wasn't until recently that I updated the software, added some content, and made a few other changes that were long overdue. I would greatly appreciate your input regarding my site. Thank you.

Not bad! I too have a sports site thats been up for 5 years in March. Like you i've finally really put a lot of time/effort into customizing it.

Its been especially difficult with a few customized mods I really havent been able to find and will likely need to pay for.

Your site is well put together, maybe look into a few frum activity based mods (vbactivity, YAAS, vbshop...etc). Ive done a lot of that and it really increased my forum activity.

All in all I like it man!

I think it looks very all over the place in terms of the design and structure. The content in the middle kind of just floats and is a bit messy in terms of layout and font usage. Your header and logo also aren't properly fit, it seems that whoever did your style kind of just did an edit or two here and there.

Your members however seem very dedicated, almost 300k posts and under 500 members? That's insane. And you seem to be getting a decent amount of hits. Dedicate a few bucks towards an easier to use and read user interface and i think this website can really launch.

Well that's what I have to work with as Vbulletin's CMS isn't all that.

What font would you recommend that I use? Most sites that report news use Verdana, just like me.

What do you mean the header/logo aren't properly fit? Could you please elaborate so I can improve on it?
