I need opinions about the new look (skin).

Also boards, I know there are some missing but I can't remember them for the life of me.

Darkmage

Please

Well, it's...green

I always find that with a forum, you think of a colour and then use various shades of that colour - if you did that with this forum then i really think it'd improve it. As it stands, it's just the same gradient all the way through and it does become a bit samey. I'd love to see something more done with the banner - the text is alright but throw some brushes there, or some shapes - have fun and see what you can come up with! The on/off icons are alright (though the "stealing" pop-up is immensely annoying, but that's your call) but they could do with a bit of variety - it seems like it's just a shrinked version of the bg image.

As for the boards, well it's an advertising forum so it'll only have a certain type of boards - when it increases in size you could maybe some sub boards for the different forum categories (sports, RPs, design etc) to make it a bit more organised.

A couple of last suggestions - you've got a copyright twice at the bottom of the forum (one text and one image) - i'd lose the image one as it looks very garish in comparison with the skin, and people don't need telling twice Also the affiliate banner could match the colour scheme of the rest of the forum

Apart from that, get the name out and about and get the affiliates in and it could become the top ad forum on the service! Good luck with it

Thanks for the Rate Graham. Its supposed to be a simple skin, so thats why the banner is the way it is. The stealing part, its for a Big reason, back on PB 5 years ago I started Final Fantasy Nation, Some one stole my banner, wallpaper., etc, and made a site called finalfantasynation.com, now I had came a crossed it from an advertise on an affiliates forum, I clicked it, and I had found my banner and wallpaper, the put text over the (C) Darkmage text as I did not have Mage Designs then, so then I contacted godaddy.com and their site got deleted. as the guy or girl was using the same information as I had. back to VFAD.

The 2 copyrights are on purpose. The affiliate banner represents what colors I will be doing next . and thanks again.
