Well obviously this is a new forum but I would appreciate it if you could give me some feedback. What's good? What's bad? What do you think I should add?

A very cool design, like the colours especially the blue smillies.

[Ross]

Everyone seems to like those smilies ;D

I like the blue smilies too! I think the new gradients for the head and base images are far nicer than the old ones - much easier to see the headings.

Contents-wise it's invaluable to me as I'm struggling to get to grips with all the coding and stuff!

[Ross]

Thank you Now I look at it, I can see just how much neater, smooter and calmer these new gradients look ;D

I love the smilies!! i love the 3d backgorund border, very nice.! Also i like the 3d gradients! just to add a new touch, you might want to add head.base images

[Ross]

I tried Head/base images, but couldn't find anything that went well with the gradients

yer, thats what i find hard on my forum too

[x·ceed²]

i would most def get a new banner.. maybe more on the pro-side remove the bevel effect on the text and maybe add some stock images to make guest & members feel welcomed..

also i would really work on the loading time..dont know much about coding but i think there slowing this board down..i run dial-up and its a pain loading any of the threads and mage page..

[Ross]

I've noticed the loading times too actually. And since you just reminded me, I'll find out what is causing it

[Ross]

There one code which is now only on the main page, another I edited a little to speed it up and I rehosted the background beacuse it was taking forever to load. Hopefully that will speed it up

[x·ceed²]

wow, awesome man- its loading alot faster now:)

I like the buttons (reply, search, bookmark etc) they sort of just blend and fade right into the gradients. The gradients are pretty good, and they look good with the forum without the border. Now on the main page I really like the cellhighlight and windowbg1's background they match very well. I also like the bordered background but maybe you could make the center part darker or maybe the outside darker for a more noticeable change of colour? The banner is very interesting and mysterious . I also like how the scrollbar track colour is the same as teh background.

Okay I'm not sure if this is necessary as the menu text looks fine as it is, but possibly maybe make images for theme like the same style as the reply, send, print buttons? It would match a bit better when viewing threads however I''m not really sure how'd that look but experimenting would never hurt.

Now the content is exceptional, it covers all of the needs of a support board (help, questions, information, useful codes, graphic section, a general place to just kick back and relax). Your support answers are very useful and accurate which is defiantely a must in a support board.

I like the new buttons you have got up aswell. I also like all the gradients and i love your affiliate banner

[Richie]

i really like the banner & how it says "101 support" on it! & the colors are OK, if anything at least the forum's legible!
