Hello all, I have opened a new forum. I was wondering if you all would like to review it and maybe point some things out that I should possibly change. All comments are taken in to consideration. I am looking for reviews on the structure, colors, layout and ad placements.

www.LabsLounge.com

Please give me your opinion

Thanks,

I'm likin' it. If i was just a random person, that had a labrador i'd be sure to register :P

looks good and to the point. good luck! some of the colors dont match tho. just letting you know.

i agree , looks good

Looks good but a grey dog as a logo? Shouldnt it be yellow?

hhaa... black lab, yellow lab... alright but its good, i like it... where are you getting the 300 dollars though?

What do you mean where am I getting the $300 dollars?

Nice forum and some interesting tips as well! Will try the bell...
You might want to remove the "powered by Vbulletin" from "TITLE tag" and put something about labs there for search engines.
Bye

it says there is a 300 dollar contest... i'm just wondering where the 300 dollars is coming from...

Looks very nice... The welcome header really jumps out atcha!

I don't care for how everything is gapped. At the bottom of the site there is a large gap because of the google ads on the right. I suggest moving the ads somewhere else, especially since I doubt that many people will scroll down that far to look at an ad.
This also goes for the top part of the site as well, you are holding a contest, which encourages people to join, yet above that you have a description telling people they are looking at the board as a guest, it adds a large gap before you even see the boards. I suggest compacting that all into one.

Very nice site indeed, good luck! Two suggestions:

1. The adsense box has a different header, doesn't look quite right. Maybe also put the forum stats above the lab pictures.

2. You have a theme selector in the footer, but the second theme doesn't have anything to do with labs. It is a nice theme, but until you customize it, stick with the one you have. I always feel adding additional themes confuses people right off, but that is me.

3. Oh, and remove the dang "powered by vbulletin" in the title please, as mentioned before.

Go to AdminCP > Language & Phrases > Search in Phrases, search for the variable x_powered_by_vbulletin, and edit as desired.

Sorry, that was three ideas.
