Default Please - Constructive and honest reviews... Thank you!

Hello all!!

I am starting a Tech Forum ( http://www.the-sourcewz.org/ )with news, overclocking info, new software releases (info), shareware info, reviews, etc...

I need some ideas for domain name and name for the forum as well reviews of the current state.. what you think it could be changed, which categories to be added, the layout, the content (current very little), etc...


Hope to "hear" from you and thank you for your reviews in advance!

ColdSpirit

Reviewed.
My comments,
1- You should remove welcome block. 2 login page doesn't seems right.
2- The "Link Directory" on your navbar seems ....stand out..

Apart than that, everything seems cool..

the welcome block is removed, The navbar problem is a "bug" of the skin... (i dont know how to "fix" that.

Now we only need some ideas regarding the name of the forum, and for the domain...

anyone more can help?

Thank you for your review... much apreciated!

Constructive and honest.

For me it looks quite bland and uninteresting.

Whilst the skin appears to be quite pleasant I get the impression, based on the heavy use of very light colours, that the site is "washed out" colour-wize.

The link directory is a complete contrast to the board theme and I feel it could be integrated by use of a something like vBa pages, or maybe Logican's Web Templates.

Thank you for giving your honest opinion even if you didnt like the forum.

I thought about integrate the pages "outside" the vb forum but most of them are with another navbar.. i can allways try to see if it fits nice..

Anyone can five ideas for a new name for the board and/or domain or give more ideas/critiques?


Thank you,
ColdSpirit

In header template find, (maybe navbar template) not real familar with the skin.

Code:
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a onclick="urchinTracker ('/out/http_link_the_sourcewz_org_');" href="http://link.the-sourcewz.org/">Link Directory</a></td>
and replace with

Code:
<td class="navbar"><a onclick="urchinTracker ('/out/http_link_the_sourcewz_org_');" href="http://link.the-sourcewz.org/">Link Directory</a></td>

Other then that, its pretty plain to every other forum using that skin.
