oh, btw, your latest News, about RSS feeds... don't know why you tell your members to use feedburner... you have RSS activated inside vBulletin, this is quite faster than any external service...
Yes but it boosts up the stats on feed burner

1. Enable that.

2. Make prefixes for the games for each system

3. Have list of links or a navbar at top of each forum to search relevant games

4. Add mod to make prefixes clickable.
Ok thank you. I also found what you were talking about with the pages. I thought you were talking about inside a post, but instead the error is when you are in a forum trying to go to another page. It is a coding error on my half, I will fix it now. Thank you.

Seems like a nice active forum which is always a good thing. I'll just point out some of the things that other reviewers may have missed (to lazy to read what they typed).

Firstly, For the size of the forum and activity of it I would have expected a more visually pleasing logo. Let's be honest, it's not the greatest looking logo and far from even being mediocre. Your logo should stand out as it's the signature image that users will clap their eyes on and in it's current state it's an eyesore.

Granted the style looks nice (not a dark style fan) but the quality seems to be there so nice work on that.

It seems every forum I review the navbits_start icon is left untouched and remains the default vbulletin stock icon. Change it for something custom and even more so because default vbulletin blue looks hideous against any kind of red.

Going into the forum display I noticed your using vbulletin stock threadmarkers. If you insist on using them you ought to grab the psd and save the matting to the dark colour it's being applied upon which would eliminate the white redundant white edging that's showing. Preferably, I would opt for something custom.

Same rule goes for the other icons (Im Icon etc) that are lingering on dark backgrounds. They all have white edging because they were saved out for light backgrounds not dark backgrounds.

These are just minor issues that if addressed will give the visual look a cleaner sharper more eye candy look.

And if you want smilies you ought to take a look in my signature, I cater for dark backgrounds.

Overall, Nice design you just need to get those rogue vbulletin stock icons removed for either something custom (good thing) or atleast grab the vbulletin GDK and save them to the background colours that they are being aplied onto.

Thank you for the review Shelley_c. I'm not much of a graphics/visual person and I focused more on the content and what we have to offer over the visual side of it. After you pointed it all out I'm starting to kick myself for cutting corners like this. I will go ahead and get a new banner created that will fit this theme, and possible the rest of them (we have 5 themes excluding vBulletin default), then work on the icons. I will also look at your signature and use your smilies for sure

By the way, the main theme is Lunablack

Thanks again for reviewing.
