Would anybody like to review my humour site? Blubble.com

Thanks.

Don't all rush at once, take your time. Form an orderly queue.

I really must stop posting in invsible ink.

To be fair, what is there to review? It's just another one of those sites with a serves-no-purpose vbadvanced front page and a forum with a downloaded style and a shoehorned in logo that doesn't match the skin. I know that sounds harsh, and a nice style doesn't make a popular forum, but as far as reviewing goes there's nothing to comment on. At least not in a positive way

You don't even have a link to your forum from the front page, I had to work my way to it via other links. Sorry to be so negative, but you did ask, persistantly

Definitely agree with Beav` on requiring to have a link to the index of the forums.

That exactly what I needed to hear. My fellow admin does the coding and I've been trying to get him to add a forum link to the nav bar with no success. This will convince him of the need, I hope. The logo needs work without a doubt.

Thanks for the feedback.

I visited your forum earlier after seeing it advertised at another forum I frequent. However, since the way to the index page wasn't immediately apparent, I left. I only intended to have a cursory glance at the first page or two, anyway. Yeah, it's unfair, but many guests are only going to pay attention for a few seconds, so you want to do what you can to draw people further in. Along those lines, how about a customized guest welcome message with important links (instead of that seen-it-a-million-times one in place now)? Maybe a history of the forum? A customized FAQ? That's what I did.

That said, I don't mean to act like I know any better. After all, I run a stand-alone, general discussion forum. Also, I saw your stats, so I know you're getting people to your forum. I simply think that my suggestions may help with first impressions, and giving that extra push to get people to press "register."

Regards,

Kevin

Food for thought, thanks for taking the time to visit and post.

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