Hey all,

I'm nearing completion of my website, and could use some final opinions and ideas of my site's user-friendliness, and design.

It's targeted at an upscale, local audience made of mostly university and senior high school students.

There are a few things that need work (such as the reviews section), but it's pretty much complete.

I know that the site's total size is fairly large - but again, the site's target is towards an "upscale" audience with fast internet.

Any suggestions?

Some key design features:

Switchable color schemes (through GD).
Side Pagename Identifier Image (that runs sideways on the right, through GD).
User-uploadable Side Images (with a rotator, or fixed images).
Unique "New PM" notification.
Heavy use of CSS and DIV's.
Text size controls.
Firefox and IE compatible.

I like it! The theme is stylish and flows really well. The only thing I'd change if it were me is to bump up the font size a notch or two...it's a bit on the small side just now.

i like the different look...

the only detail i think is the default forumbit icons... would be better if integrating the real look of the site... these dark folders are not...

Thanks for all the comments!

Smash, the font size problem was recognized awhile ago - so that's why I implemented a font size changer. This way, I don't have to make the layout ugly. :P

As for the forumbit icons - they will be done.. soon. I'm just really lazy to do them (alot of effort involved). Would you think the use of the logo would work?

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
