these are some suggestions made by people rating our site
Okay.
When you first open up a forum, you automatically notice what's at the top. When I opened up your forum all I saw were the ads, and then I saw the title of the forum.
You should consider adding a banner to your forum. Preferably, 720x125 px. You can make your own or request one in the graphics request board. Your buttons aren't bad, but they aren't great either.
Your forum's look seems a bit plain to me, try adding some simple gradients. You can request these too, or make your own.
I would remove the Google search bar at the bottom of your forum, as it's not really needed. Your overall colours aren't bad, but I find the bright blue border colour seems to clash with the other colours, I would change it to a light shade of grey or a darker blue.
Your thread highlight colour is almost the same as the link colour and so whenever you hover over a thread, you can't read the title. I would change it to a shade of grey.
That's all I have to say. Good luck with your forum.
Your site is really active just to have 17 members, but you might want to get new buttons because they dont really match your forum and you also need to put in the code that puts space between your boards, and you also need to get head and base images. You might wanna check on www.dx5.proboards77.com You also need to change when you highlight a topic the yellow background doesnt go well with the yellow writing it is fine on the home page but not once you click on a boards to post in. You might want to change the color of the different groups to but all in all i give you a 6.5/10
as you may have noticed we have taken them on board and are in the process of making some changnes
thanks for these and hope to get more and intice you to join.
