After weeks of hard work, designing, etc., I finally finished my new site, Conspiracy-Forums.
I know I don’t have very many topics or discussion going on, I basically just launched it

What does everyone think of the design?
How about the category structures?
Etc.

Does everything run smoothly?
Are there any broken links, database problems, other errors I may have missed?

If I require new information, thoughts, etc. I’ll post it later.
The link is in my signature

Thanks for looking at my new site

You have a really nice left header banner but as a .gif the quality is so poor it really takes away from it. Since there is no transparency I would choose I high resolution .jpeg, the small portion of extra bandwidth is worth it.

I think the colours could be blended a little better integrating the header with the bg and the bg into the tables.

I love the idea, I think it will be a hit, no doubt as long as you market it well but name choice is perfect. I'm sure you will get a lot of interesting members there.

Overall, very nice site. Good luck with it!

Not quite sure what you meant here. How would you suggest they could look better? Change the colors? Make them "bleed" a little better, or what?

Thank You, hope I do

Oh yes, much nicer!!

Give me a second and I'll show you what I mean, it's harder for me to describe. Post back in a bit.

can you change the bg to a gradient image, combining all of the colours. With a bg like this its taking that same radiant blue from the bottom of the banner blending it with the current bg colour and fading into the colour of the tables.

Thanks for the image, Kimberly. However I don't think it's possible to set an image (gradient or not) as the background in vBulletin. The only options I'm given for the body background are it's CSS variables, colors etc.

What about making it the same colour as that deep blue at the very bottom of your banner? 000d37 or somthing on that side of the pallet? Just a suggestion.

Nice work James. I really like the colours, but I think your logo needs to be a little sharper. Looks really blurred and originally thought it was my eye sight.

I think with a little work it can be a popular forum. Nice choice of domain

Thanks for the recommendations Steve. For the logo, I just created some white text (the forum name) and added it to the "header image", I'm no graphic designer.

I think what he's talking about is that it looks pixelated around the text and a little blured in some spots for the same reason.

It looks a whole lot better than it did as a .gif but I agree, it could be sharper.

If you need help, feel free to pm.

Thats what I meant. The logo looks cool, just that it looks a little pixelated around the text.

Yeah, I used photoshop to edit the default image. It had a previous default forum title on it, and I copied and pasted a blank section over the current text then put my forum title over that.

Like I said I'm no graphic designer

If anyone knows how to make it sharp, feel free to PM me, I couldn't afford to pay you but I could give you some TP (or some more after I spread it around)

This is first time I went to see your site.

I must say, I LOVE your colors choice a lot.
If I was you, I would keep your site untouched from this point on

Good job indeed

YES! I'm so happy my forums are back up and running .

(I was having hosting issues before, but they're working just fine now )

So if anyone has anymore suggestions, feel free to write some comments .

Just wanted to bump to see what everyone thought of the new features I added (some of them may look familiar to most of you ).
