Forum Leaders? :D

I like the skin of the forum. The organization of the forums and categories are very well laid out. However, I don't think "Forum Promotion" should be under Marketplace? That would be my only suggestion so far. Hope that's helpful. :-D

Overall good design and community. I would use a fixed layout instead of a liquid one (so that you can accommodate both wide and narrow screen users). The logo needs bit more work (don't use bevels and emboss on a logo, unless you make them 1 pixel, the shadow should have zero distance or a smaller size. it looks default. I'm a 'power' phootoshop user, so please allow me to nitpick a little

Good category organization, good content so far. Keep on adding many new topics and keep the activity growing, you're doing great so far. Love the community already

You would absolutely hate my logos then lol. My PS skills are bleh.


I think it looks great. I like the textured back ground. I think some forums try to get to fancy with them, and they become distracting. But this one is perfect.

The home button and forums button on the navigation both go to the index forum page. I would put other content in the home tab or eliminate it.

Actually, it's x3. Clicking the banner takes you back to the home page, which is pretty standard for most users to assume, in addition to having 2 unique tabs for it. I understand having one of the tabs there anyway, but 2 is too much. If you were to have a homepage/portal, too, then it'd make sense....but please don't add one.

You do not like the portal page?

So this thread doesn't derail too much or an important design concept consideration didn't get lost in this one, I started a new thread about portal pages here: http://www.forumleaders.com/threads/portal-pages.36/

I am new here, so I do not know how much weight my opinion really has. However, overall I think the design of this forum is great! It is easy to follow and I like the layout a lot. The icons showing whether or not there have been new posts in a particular forum are nicely made & goes along with the title on the top of the page.

Is it just me or did the favicon disappear in the last 24 hours as well? It appears to have on my end, but maybe that's to do with your logo change somewhere?

And I'm liking the other tweaks so far.

Hmm, I just cleared my cache and did a hard rest on the page and it's not back yet, but hopefully it will be later. I'm sure it's just on my end if you haven't touched it at all....no worries. If it doesn't come back on its own, I'll investigate further, but I'm probably the only one not seeing it then.

Okay, for the record, I did try the refresh spamming technique I mentioned on another forum and it's still not reappearing for me. Can somebody other than Amdac check yours and let me know if others are missing it as well?

This is the first forum about forums that I have not immediately rolled my eyes at. There's a lot of good information here. I really appreciate what I've been able to discuss and learn in the last few days.

A fixed background of a gradient of some sort might make it feel a little more spacious. Just a thought.
