The Arcive of Official vBulletin Modifications Site.

Heya folks,

I would like a review of a particular style.

I've been working on a new website. It is basically another fansite, except that it's a multigame fansite. Right now, it's focusing on a few upcoming MMO's. It's very much in an alpha stage but I wanted to get some feedback before I start posting content in a few weeks. It's www.mmohell.com.

It's going to focus on Red 5 Studios, Champions Online, 38 Studios, Vigil Games, and maybe one or two others, I haven't decided. I'm opening up the site because I need more critical feedback. Things that don't work, things that don't look right. Things that were not easy to use. It's important to remember this is a very early look into the site that won't be opening with the cool content for a few weeks.

I really appreciate any time you can take checking out the site and giving feedback. It's very much appreciated. Feel free to reply, drop me a PM, or IM or chat me up about it.

Right now the site is pure Vbulletin, Vbulletin Blog and Vbadvanced. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

First I have to say it?s looking really good and it looks like it you really spend some time thinking things over!

Just a few things I really would change myself.

The navbar dropdown icons /menu_open.gif only look good when using the vB default style; in this case change them fast

It seems you forgot some buttons at showthread (ie. the closed icons) I?m not really sure if this was meant to be, but I suggest to change them matching the current style.

Last is more or less a question to you. Are you trying to build a community? (using the memberprofile pages, etc.)
If yes, make some kind of notice (like an additional dropdown menue) of it at least somewhere properly visible.

9/10 Bravo Sir.

One of the best most refreshing looking designs i've laid my eyes on in months.

Thanks Taragon,

Honestly, I'm having a hard time finding new /menu_open.gif's that look good or that I like. As for the rest of the showthread images, I've replaced those. Thanks for those sharp eyes. Sometimes I forget the trees for the forest.

I really like it Shelby. Well done.

How did you achieve the homepage? Is it a standard mod? Really like how its set out.

Shelby · #7 06-13-2008, 05:44 AM

It is just Vbadvanced and Vbulletin. No other mods.

Vbadvance allows for pagination or is that a custom mod?

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