New site I started www.powergfx.com still a few things to be done yet (like the banner) but tell me what you think so far and any suggestions you might have to get me on the right track.

hum, actually, i would drop the recruiting text in your request, this is against the rules...

and for a grafix website, i would recommand you create your own style instead of using a pre-made one... that style is advertising the coder's website, not yours... and it does not show your talent as a designer.

I am working on a custom style for 3.7 on a test site once it goes gold I will upgrade my site and release it. Waste of time to code one for 3.6 and 3.7 in my opinion when I am going to just upgrade Besides that a lot of gfx websites use premade skins for the first few months or so anyway while they spend time getting member base, advertising creating tutorials finding resources and much more once I have accomplished that and vb goes gold then I will finish my skin right now I am busy trying to get suggestions and members. please base your review on more then the skin next time like maybe recommending mods or some changes that might help me out in my future growth.

Thanks,
~Evolution

Personally I like the skin

[Evolution06]

Thanks, I like the skin also, It was buy 1 get 1 at vbskinworks and I was getting the raidarena skin for a worldofwarcraft clan site I had running (shut it down to do this site) so I figured this one would do for my gfx site for now till I get on my feet. But that did not help me either lol.

I'm loving the dark & green skin!

Too many areas for a newly created board. You'll probably find that creating fewer forums and packing them with beneficial content will eliminate the bareness of empty looking forums.

Apart from that, find some post icons to compliment the black background that they are placed upon. You may also want to change the default sub forum icons for something suitable and complimenting too the theme of the style.

Awesome I think I might just start working on a simple skin (custom) cause I am not sure how much I am aloud to customize this skin really since it was purchased. So pretty much thats the way vbskinworks designed it. I have a mind set for a different style.. I hope it will turn out worthy enough.

You are permitted to change pretty much anything you wish
