VB style

admin · 07-11-2007, 12:56:18 PM

I want to give the forum a style makeover and have a new style loaded, see the style chooser bottom left of the homepage.

I have not modified it yet so its not by any means what I intend to end up with but just looking for feedback on what you like / dislike about how it is now.

I have resisted putting a column on the site filled with Ads which is what I see a lot of other forums doing so the Adsense column wont stay.

My main goal is to improve the logo, header, menu / navigation of the site.

Any feedback (good or bad) welcome.....

looks good , somethings missing from the top left hand corner , logo perhaps. have you tried the vbseostyle?

I think the new style works well. New logo looks great!

May need to tone down the "new" "locked" etc. images, they are a bit "in your face".

I think it looks fine and I would *keep* the adsense/promo column. Just my 2p.

Yes, looks a lot more modern and a good improvement.

Hi Admin,

I like it as it is. Simple to read, quick and easy to use. If it ain't broke...

I prefer the old style.

The colours are not too clever on the new site and the board has a wishy-washy feel to it.

I think it looks nice - but there are a few too many changes to the way the old forum worked that put me off... One is the way the users profile details span across the top of the posts rather than down the left hand side.

Maybe this is just becasue im so used to the old style...

I think the forum definately needs a revamp but without changing the functionality too much... I find the bright in your face blue headings a distraction.

Can't say i like the logo at all either... sorry Admin... I'll get my coat...

You can always implement the new style and keep the old one, you can set the style you want to use in the User CP so I have saved my preference as the new one.

admin · 07-11-2007, 04:08:28 PM

Maybe I will keep both, then you can have the choice, just align the logos and colours so that I have a branding of some sort.

I do agree the current style is quicker to read.
