Website Review and Suggestions

**theForumCity** · 03-03-2004, 11:34 AM

theForumCity
www.theforumcity.com

A new site for everyone, because nearly every topic you could ever want.

Check it out and please give me some feedback.

It would also be appreciated if people could help me get the site of the ground by registering and making a few posts, coz they are a bit empty at the moment?

Thanks

I think a nice graphic of a city full of skyscrapers would look great in the top right, as a logo.

I also think that your colour scheme requires a third colour - the shades of blue and white are all fairly similar, and could do with a third colour like yellow or something like that to brighten it up a bit. As it stands, I think its lacking something - some 'je ne suis quoi'.

The layout is mostly excellent, but perhaps you might want the log-in boxes at the top of the page, as this is probably the first thing a user does each time they go the site - make it easy for them.

Hope this helps,

Wicko

I would like to announce the revamped and upgrade Forum City at www.theforumcity.com

I would like some reviews on it and also if members from here could register here to get it going (I will be needing moderators because this time I am having forum specific ones so I will need more)

Thanks

Looking good, I didn't see the before but I like what I see now. I bookmarked your site and will reg. later when I have more time.

**Brad Birmingham** · 04-14-2004, 05:22 PM

ditto on what Thom M said

**Mike Panic** · 04-15-2004, 12:30 AM

very bright... almost too bright

ditch every forum that has zero posts... make more general forums and then as the site grows, listen to the uses and create forums that would fit their needs.... sometimes having a "testing, help, questions, feedback & suggestions" forum is good... because it covers all basis in one simple forum and if someone wants to suggest a new forum... they can do it there

Hi

I like the simplicity of the site, I think Wicko 3 might have a pointh about adding a new colour, if you need some advice on the best one to add to keep the site looking so good try (http://www.color-wheel-pro.com/index.html).

I think it might be better if you lose some of the unused topics just untill you get some more members and can open it up some more.

Also have you consideded moving the button key that shows that a glowing button means newly posted message, to the top so people who have never used the site know what to look out for.

Also a little box at the top to show the last time somone posted a message would be good.

Hope this of some help.

Hello,

Dave has just commented on how I don't have a tag line/motto at www.theforumcity.com so I would just like to hear some suggestions on what I could have!

Thanks

**Giselle** · 05-27-2004, 03:27 PM

I give it a 10/10....this is only my opinion but I wouldn't change a thing, you did a great job working with the greens and blues. Also the forum is layed out very well, easy to understand and read. All the different subject matter should draw a lot of people, in fact I am not even sure if their is a forum like yours.

The only criticism I could give is perhaps a "Welcome, ect. ect." on this page, makes people feel that you are glad they are there visiting and you want them to sign up to participate in all the fun and excitement......good luck with your forum, should be very successful!

Very nice. The color scheme is very fresh, perfect for summer!
Looks great, keep up the good work

**cmonkey** · 05-27-2004, 05:01 PM

looks great, it has a very "fresh" look to it. the color scheme works great, I like the logo in the upper left but I'm not a big fan of the cursive font, but that's just my opinion.

All in all, it's one of the more attractive customiztions of vBulletin I've seen.

**theForumCity** · 05-27-2004, 05:07 PM

thanks everyone - anyone got any tag line suggestions?

1 more thing left now - members - lol

I agree, It is refreshing to see new style forums. The wild colors will be why people remember it. Good Job!!
