The Sonic Joint; My Joint. ;p

Well, I posted for comments before I added hacks in vbtemplates.com and the only thing they said was that there were too many catagories for the amount of users I had there. Now the board grew to 70 (most inactive though) and I still didn't take away stuff. =j But I did add hacks. One big hack and the others are fairly small. We're running a tournament thanks to Bitsys' battle hack. (Thanks Bitsys! XD)

Any comments? Or anything? ^^;

Take in mind I am no graphics guru, but I do have three comments.

1. I think your home page could do with a clearer link to the forums. I know to click the logo because I am familiar with how vb is set up. However, i think newcomers might not find your forums as easily. (Users are basically stupid)

2. I like the dark colors. I have some concerns that they might be hard to read long-term. If you want people to stick around colors need to be very easy on the eyes.

3. On the forumhome page, I would line up all of the circles. Your category images don't quite line up with your on/off buttons and that makes it look a bit off kilter.

Things seem a bit slow. I would hold off on hacking more unless you are optimizing.

1. I agree; it blows my mind how many portals don't have a very clear link that says "Forums". I often have to guess the URL.

2. Disagree; too dark to read sometimes

3. Agree

Your new posts and no new posts icons are the same.

Well..... who cares what you think! hehe, just kiddin'. Well, it's not really how many hacks I have, it's the damn server. My host is having some difficulties. -_-'

About the alignement on the catagories, heck with that, I'm not gonna bother. I plan to make my own style soon and will look a hell of a lot better than that. Same with the text, and yes, I will have more buttons saying "Forums" on it. =j Thanks for the tips guys.

-Slow loading main page.
-Navbar looks wrong with the banner being longer
-'Logout' button in the header shouldn't show when you're not even logged in.
-Forums are hard to locate from portal page. (To a first time vB user lets say)

love the logo!... except it doesnt go with the blue. and the top links dont go with the logo OR the colors. i think you should make it all match

Couldn't find the forums...

Horribale design, nice logo though IMO

[Red Blaze]

By design, I think you mean the style, right? It's not mine. ^_^; Like I mentioned, I plan to make my own style. This was just picked up somewhere here. or was it vbtemplates.com? I dun remember, but anyway, dun know when everything's gonna change but I'll let ya guys know when I did the new style. And I gotta make a new link to the forums then. =j

EDIT: I changed the "home" button link to /forums. And I'll stop installing hacks. I'm tired of searching through the php files. -_-;

The first step to making your site individual is to have it's own style.

Most of the ones off vBT.com aren't too good.
