I love the blue color very vibrant. The collapse option is very nice. The NEW pics are cool looking too especially since it changes from gray to green when posted. Like the last ten post on the left and the toolbar in the upper left corner ... nice feature. All in all a very graphical looking forum, quite different from most in my opinion. I like it THUMBS UP!

Thanks for the positive feedback. The NEW icons are one of my favourite things about the forum. Unless you're a regular of the forum, you don't know if the posts are actually new so we get a lot of views from visitors/members thinking the posts are new.:p

LastRezort · 02-20-2008, 10:47 PM

Very Sly ... I thought about that when i seen the explanation of the icons at the bottom .. Kudos for the great thought process!

Jerlene · 02-21-2008, 08:22 AM

Yeah now all we need to do is remove the explanations from the footer. hah

Anyone else have some suggestions or feedback?

"Admin Sales & Marketing Portal" word combination is repeated three times on the start page. For dummies? Remove the other two.

The explanation "If you want ... then do ..." is not nesessary too - if the forum's for admins, they know it all.

The big white area to the right of the logo is wasted.

To my knowledge, it's mentioned twice. Once in the logo and once in the forum navigation. Both are necessary. The one in the logo can't be removed, it's the logo. The one in the forum navigation is there for a reason, it's the name of the site. It's also for SEO purposes. Text on a logo can't be read by a bot.

They know it all? In what world does a forum admin know all there is to know about being a forum admin? People never stop learning. The forum is there for not only experienced admins but new ones as well.

No it's not. It's a new forum and it will be used, most likely, as an advertisement spot.

Same as review for http://www.microsoft-forums.com/

Are you building up a portfolio of VB Forums?

alemcherry · 02-24-2008, 06:04 PM

Neat layout, vbskin used is good.
Lot of threads for a site without any page rank. Seems you have done lot of efforts in adding content. Best of luck

I liked the look of microsoft-forums.com, this looks like a clone.

It's definitely not the same, just the same skin.

It's owned by a company that owns a ton more forums and instead of each having a different skin, they wanted to make it so that they all have the same skin and people would know it's owned by this company. Kind of like a trademark.

Thats what I was refering to, the design/favicon etc all the same, so my review is the same as for the other site. If you read it things will be clear
