Default Tainted Tankard - Review?

Hey guys!

I've been working on my site for some time now, mostly the forums and trying to get things looking how I want them to look!

With your help (the Vbulletin.org community) I have really managed to get things looking how I originally wanted them to look!

So a big thank you to you guys, I wouldn't be very far if it where not for you!

Tainted Tankard - Guild Wars 2 community website

I'm just interested in hearing your thoughts and opinions on the design/layout of things in general and what you think I could improve.

You did a great job for your first theme.

Make the WP install in the main root, use it as a full scale CMS beyond news, the splash page is really annoying, it's the worst part of the site.

Also try adding forum descriptions for every section as not everyone will be able to guess what exactly goes here and there, also make the login box a bit more noticeable, remember think like a member not a admin!

Sorry I don't know the abbreviation of WP :P If you could expand on this and the news part I would really appreciate it!

Sorry if I sound nit-picky but what do you find annoying about it? I've had other people say they like it you see ^^ (I presume by splash page you mean home page)

I did previously display the descriptions under each forum heading but I thought it made everything look a little cluttered. Though you make a fair point, I know what everything is because I made it and in the eyes of a newcomer it may be confusing! I'll look into it some more

The login box is a great point, I'll definitely work on that ASAP! Thanks for the feedback mate, appreciate it!

Ok, I've added forum descriptions and relocated the login bar, it should be a lot more noticeable now

Thanks again for the feedback!

WP = Wordpress

The twitter styled login is looking badass

Thanks mate! It does look really neat, though I can't take the credit :P It was a mod I found ^^

I've made a few more changes here and there but I'm really pleased with everything so far! So thanks for all your feedback, it really helps!

Looks great! Can you style the WP install so it more closely matches the forum theme so it all flows together better?

I like the splash page

Thanks matey!

Yes I agree that the WP needs to be altered so it matches the rest of the site. I will get working on that as soon as possible. Thanks for the feedback and sorry for the late reply, been very busy :P
