Entertainment Website and Forum

[markbolyard]

I'd like to announce the redesign of Monksdiner.com. Our forum has been transformed into a complete Entertainment Media website, with a fresh new design. Please feel free to come check it out, and comment on how it looks. Thanks!

Nice site, me like it.

I like the top nav bar header section, not so much a fan of the ADs, they make me want to leave rather than even stay.

Glad you like it. Well, as for the ads, when you go to a dedicated server and have expenses, you'll be running a few ads too

IMO, the ads are not that obtrusive. We don't run pop-ups, pop-unders, etc... just two ad spots on the forum: Under the navbar, and under the first post.

The main site has a few more ads, but no different than the other media sites...

I think the flow of this setup works well, I love the color scheme, and the overall design...

I appreciate the comments so far...

Visually a very nice clean design with the colours all complementing each other nicely. Maybe my next suggestion is preference driven but I would have added a indent bevel effect under the orb. As I stated this would have been one of my personal preferences.

I really like the logo and how you intergrated the login and search feature into it. top marks for placement of these two features.

However, The vbulletin stock images which haven't been replaced (sub forum status icons) could do with being replaced, this shouldn't pose much of a problem for you judging by your design (which is very nice).

Other stock vbulletin images which I think you should replace for something custom which would give this style a more complete look would be the navbits_start.gif, navbits_finallink.gif aswell as the stats and who's online and birthday icons. this at least would complete the index page (forum).

I would also recommended changing the Threadmarkers in the forum display page. Custom always looks visually better not to mention something designed that complements the theme looks visually more appealing and consistent which is always a good thing.

Overall. Nice theme with a few areas left incomplete which would take an hour out of your time to rectify.

Nice work.
