pmwww | | Re: Actually Visible (10th Sep 08 at 9:12pm UTC) | | I cannot really say anything besides Superb, because I am in Awe, its a great skin, Far more better then My Mage Designs, and far better then the ones I have seen. (Not just designing forums, but a whole lot of others)
You have allot of members, that should say something.
You got 17 members and over 600 posts and only 105 topics, far better then I have ever seen. Look at my forum Forbidden Reunion for instance. its sorta died out, and it has:
Members: 41
Topics: 189
Posts: 916
Boards: 47
Categories: 8
and
1 Staff Member,
2 Members,
123 Guests.
I used to get about 10 members on each day and my other 3 staff members got on. For right now I am letting it die off because of school and what not. I know how hard it can be for every one to have loads of homework, and school, and plus their jobs, so thats why I am letting it go for now. But you, you have it all. Later on I might join, I am building a new forum, and I am not even going to release it for awhile, so I can work out all the coding bugs, and what not. | |

The folders could be bigger I guess, some of the images when I made them were quite small - however, you have to remember that this has to cover all resolutions, which for some 16x16 which is the size of the folder icons is quite significant, so yea | |

The folders are tiny in my res of 1280 x 960. | |

On my laptop 1024x768 is rather large, and smaller, meaning there is no room. its a 15 inch monitor. but on my moms desktop, 1024x768 looks really good, and its a 17 inch monitor. | |

pm | | Re: Actually Visible (15th Sep 08 at 11:28pm UTC) | | I checked 3 resolutions (800x600, 1024x768 and 1280x1024) and still think that the folder icons could be a tad bit bigger.
Anyways, the banner is nice not something exciting but does it's job very well. The on/off icons are pretty cool with the forum initials connected. Content has a lot of originally in it like for example the rank names are brilliant. The minimalistic approach, I like. Also, the fact that this is a red and black color scheme (never see those anymore, eh?) is plus from me.
However there's some things I think could be fixed though. Like for example the emoticons. It lacks depth and some of their expressions aren't clearly visible. Like for example what is this emoticon doing?
And lastly, I think the color scheme could use some more contrast. So like maybe lighten up the red a bit.
Great forum though. | |

haha, not really, I know my emotes suck balls - but, whats done is done, they will be updated eventually, I have more important things on my plate at the moment, the contrasting idea of the brighter reds is something to try, the smilies will definetly be a lighter colour, they are too dark now.
Thanks for the CC mate  | |
