Not a big fan of the logo. It seems....squished down. I would say lose the glow and give the lettering a bit more height. You will also want to create brand recognition at this point...the colored letters are a good start.

From the logo I am getting the impression that this is a general chat forum. However I think you have too many forums for the amount of traffic you currently have, it makes everything look empty. Merge similar topics to start, then add more forums as the community requires it.

The icons and colors are generic and should be updated to reflect the unique nature of your site.

You are trying to enter into a quite saturated marked (General discussion/Technology Discussion). You will want to focus on what makes your community worth joining, and make sure visitors know this.

Great start............i would do something else with your forum button's and probably do some work with the style color's.

The style and colors I think deffo needs some work, but most importantly the layout of the forums needs work. It just doesn't flow and isn't real easy to follow because there are so many forums. At this point maybe go for no sub-forums or turn off the sub-forum links on the main index because its stretching the forums out to wierd proportions.

I like the concept of the forum. It should grow into a wealth of information given time! :up:

Visually, the style look is not that great. It's default and what I can see of it is that the only custom object on your forum is the logo and there are issues with that. Firstly the corners in the top left/right are cropped and look jaggy not to mention that the matte colour is different from the background it's being applied onto.

I suggest going into the vb.org styles database and find the first xml file and upload it because there's nothing visually nice about a default vbulletin board with a custom logo with issues.

For a newly created board you have far to many forums. I can't see many people reason for that fact alone and that there has been no effort to upload or create a style.

Judging by the matte issues for the logo I would advise you save any images to their correct matte giving off crispier cleaner images for the style that will hopefully complement the images.

Goodluck with your board regardless of my opinions on how it currently looks.
