Hi Guys

This is my first VB forum. Its a bit of a crazy idea and I'd love to know what everyone thinks.

I have only told a few friends about the forum so far that have found a number of bugs and come up with some ideas to make it better, which i am working on now.

I'd like some feedback from some seasoned VB goers because when I start to push this forum I want it to be perfect.

Any ideas/feedback is welcome good or bad www.projectshowcar.com

Thanks

Website is slow and lagggy. Theme is heavy and bloated.

Thanks for the feed back. Can you give me some ideas on how to improve the site as well as telling me where I am going wrong.

I wouldn't worry too much about what HE had to say- last night he went off the deep end and posted insulting comments in a number of threads- most of which were deleted by moderators. I doubt he was being very truthful about anything.

Website doesn't lag at all for me.
I think your forum looks good. Very simple and clean style.
On your homepage there's a massive box that has nothing in it... I don't know if that's meant to be how it looks but that kinda puts me off abit.
Other than that I like it. Nice one.

I did not lag but im running fiber some one on DSL may. The biggest thing you can change is the image format you are using for your images. Png's are one of the largest file type, try changing them to .jpg or .gif i'd go with .jpg.

Very clean and professional! The site loads as it should and generally looks great.

Thanks for all the feedback guys!

Looking into what everyone has too say. Got some fairly big changes coming to the site soon, all based on feed back I've had so far.

Main page was like, wow! But, then i got to the forum section, and i was like "blah."

Maybe try a slightly different color scheme for forum, with custom icons etc. to offset the head read header.

Also the mango/salmon color on the blogs isn't eye comfortable with the bright red header. Maybe add somethign that compliments the logo?

Thanks Fusion,

I'm still working on the home page. Have changed it slightly recently, although it needs a bit more tweeking!

I've been looking into some customs icons.. just can't come up with any great ideas at the moment. So if anyone has any please let me know.

Thanks for all the feed back guys, keep it coming!

Hopefully it will be finished soon. Then I can start to promote my forum.

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