The Arcive of Official vBulletin Modifications Site.

Hi,

I am the owner of thislive.co.uk a Technology discussion and support website. we discuss news topics, gadgets, and provide support for free.

I have just given the site a major over-haul including a new skin, removal of moderators of whom were inactive. I have also removed lots of modifications so that the forums are just easier to use.

I want to attract as many new members as possible and help them. I am good at helping people but no good if their is nobody to help. I run this website as a hobby and am not intending to make big bucks from it. Adsense and Sponsorship revenue just helps to pay hosting costs.

I think I have everything on the right place. However I would love a good honest review. Either way pleaseprovide me with some feedback. I want this support site to be the best.

Thank-you in advance for any advice given.

Nice clean looking style colours are implement nicely and compliment one another very nicely. However, on the index page I see that you have kept the navbits-start vbulletin stock icon which doesn't look that great against the red and black themed style so I would go about changing that for something custom and a colour that matches your style colours.

I also noticed as a guest I don't see a guest message alerting guests the benefits of what your site has to offer. I would create a notice alerting them the benefits of registering.

Overall, nice clean look and colours compliment each other consisitently well. Goodwork and goodluck with your site.

I like the way the forum is organized. It seems clean and professional. So far, it's very easy for me to navigate, and it's not difficult to read forum threads and posts. Great colors too. I can use lots of help at times, so I'll be sure to stop by.

Good job.

Thanks for the advice. It helps and traffic is starting to pick up. My personal favourite feature is the daily youtube song on the front page. Thanks for your tips

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