  • Very well laid out, and professional looking
  • Good selection of graphics

  • The url is a bit of a beak- full.

  • Replace the logo. The flame text is pretty cheesy, and the link to where it was made is un-professional. Put a request in the community exchange forum, and one of our experienced graphic designers will sort you out with something.
  • Get a free domain from freedomain.co.nr. It's really good, free domain with no ads. (you are however, required to put a small button linking to the site on the board).
  • Non- forum members can see everything. As an ex- RS player, I would recommend doing something about this.

Hope that helps ;)

I'd like to add to this:

user posted image Strengths
  • The board is well set out for a clan board.
  • 99% of graphics match.
  • The board looks very good.

user posted image Weaknesses
  • The board's loading time is really slow.
  • The domain has nothing to do with the board.
  • The side menu has nothing on it.
  • The link to the rules is big, distracting, and unnecessary.

user posted image Recommendations
  • Get codes to remove the Welcome back, and Forum Led By: text.
  • Fix the Live Chat link at the bottom of the board, and make it more noticeable.
  • Try and host a few things, as it's taking 10minutes + to fully load the index page as a guest.

Justin I didn't have any problems, and my computer is really slow with other things.


But still, if there are lot's of codes get them hosted anyway.



EDIT: Ok, the board has been changed and now it really is slow. Sorry Justin.

King Pulse - September 6, 2008 12:03 PM (GMT)
Oh bad..I changed the codes..And now i notice that it loading very slowly...Strange..And nearly everything is already hosted...I just changed the logo and the wrappers...

EDIT:I know now..The host where my codes were was down...I have a backup host..so i just replaced it fast..Try it again and see if it loads better...Need to know..

2nd Edit:Removed the Welcome Back Text.

3rd Edit:Just Removed the Forum Led By text..Thanks For the Advices.

By the way, how can i make the Live Chat more visible?Any Ideas?

natyrox - September 6, 2008 01:00 PM (GMT)
Excellent...


Apart from the domain, I don't think much is missing in the board ;)

Justin - September 6, 2008 01:37 PM (GMT)
With the "Making the Live Chat more visible".

Move the link to somewhere inside the news box, or above all the categories etc.

King Pulse - September 6, 2008 02:44 PM (GMT)
Ok Thanks a lot.

Mostly small tweaks.... :)

user posted image Strengths
  • Attractive skin and banner. The background graphic is a wow.
  • Simple and easily understandable format and organizaton
  • Topic preview is a nice feature
user posted image Weaknesses
  • Default post buttons detract. Although the colors are compatible with the skin, the button style is not.
  • Pop up alert asking to join is annoying after the first couple of times, and almost makes you seem desperate for members.
  • Star pips are poor quality and detract from the excellent skin.
user posted image Recommendations
  • Try a less obtrusive glow effect on your "read the rules" banner if you feel you must have it animated. Using two different marquee directions is excessive animation. Maybe actually let a guest see the rules you are featuring so prominently?
  • It would seem that you could better use the space in your quite large announcement box. Possibly more links to special parts of your site, or even linking the staff list to their profiles.
  • Replace poor quality and default graphics.
  • Consider adding a slogan that gives a quick bit of info on what your site is about, or the kind of clan you are.
