  • The LATEST THREAD marquee will most likely be ignored.
  • I like how you implemented your logo emblem throughout the forum (forum icons). This creates a sense of brand.
  • The search functions are hardly noticable - Add some padding / increase font size.
  • I recommend a different color scheme. The current colors are boring and dull.
  • I recommend a new logo. The emblem looks great; however, the tagline, "christian articles forums services" is unreadable and the title needs more contrast (between it and background). Just look at it - the only thing that stands out is the emblem.
good luck

Tony G - cool! glad we are on good terms!

princeton - I appreciate your comments, thank you! Indeed the tagline needs to stand out more and the colors scheme could uses more hilights here and there.

About the Latest Threads scroller... I was actually worried that the forums would get ignored because people might just check the latest threads bit and then not see any of the other posts. I am a member of a forum with a scroller similar to this and I have been guilty of checking in and just reading the scroller... either way we both might think it is not nessasary... I would love to hear more comments on this latest threads scroller as if the mayority feels it is a negative rather then a positive it will removed!

Thank you again everyone and please keep the comments coming - specially on the scroller...

Cheers!

That's what usually happens when you have a LATEST THREAD addon. In most cases, people will miss out on many threads. If your are displaying a small number of 'latest threads' I suggest increasing this number.

The problem with your LATEST THREAD is that it's a marquee/auto-scroller - people usually ignore them. I also don't like the idea of having the LATEST THREAD on top of the forum -- I recommend adding a sidebar. Having all the contents visible. eg. not a marquee/auto-scroller

Sorry about the scroller again...

I agree with you but removing the scroller is kind of a big change so I would love to hear some other members comments on this before I remove it...

Please let me know what you think about the Latest Threads scroller guys!

Thanks again for all the help!
