Hello,

Showcasing my website: www.christforums.org

I am using a commerical theme which I have added css to etc. Some mods from this site. I could really use some feedback! Marketing is something I am just now tackling, and SEO.

With that in mind, perhaps you can give me some feed back in order to better the site? Is it easy to navigate, confusing, etc....

I am using Vbulletin 5.1.7.

Thanks in advance,
William

Some sections are to large you need to make some smaller by making more sub section of them. I like the skin and the way its all set out once you fix the above it will be better. The chat side box is blank that needs fixed

Thanks Force,

I'll fool around with it more. Do you, by chance, have an example?

Regarding the chat box, I actually have a developer working on getting rid of that altogether and combining the statistics with the online module.

Again, thanks for your valuable feedback!

Shim

Absolutely incredible. I have never seen such a good style for vbulletin 5.

I want to say that you have absolutely blown my mind on what is possible for vbulletin 5. I never knew you could take the software that far and I'm not being sarcastic at all.

Brilliant.

Thank you kindly Sir.

Vbulletin 5.1.7 has been a great forum solution for me to work with. I began working with Vb 5 some three months ago since Vb 5.1.5 and think that maybe I missed out on most bugs that earlier users experienced.

Enjoy,
Shim

Overall I think it is pretty decent, simple and clean. I do not have time to give a full review but just from a quick look and from an seo perspective I would suggest trying to consolidate some of those forums. You will have a very hard time populating all of them. Try to stay on your main topic as well as much as possible.

Shorten some of those forum descriptions! They should be maybe 150 characters or so. Less even.

Another thing, not seo related. Change your favicon from the default vbulletin one, try to use progressive jpg images when possible for your forum images.

Good luck!

Hi Force,

Here's the link to the PureVB code skin: http://www.purevb.com/vbulletin-skins/vbulletin-5/

I thought enough changes to the forum were worth a bump. Now working with Vb 5.2.0, and Sultan Themes. The theme has been tinkered with for near half a year. I'm pretty happy with the way things are with VB 5. All are welcome: www.christforums.org

I plan to hire a developer for some custom mods in the months to come. Mainly search related additions and Geo location searches implemented for members to find other members nearby. This will be an addition to the Singles subforums which will give the site a dating type feel for Christian singles.
