I really like the layout. Shows a lot of promise. I'm in! I encourage others to follow if they have even the slightest interest in any sport imaginable.
good niche.... i think the header need to change and it's better if you make this forum looking like web2.0 just the design...
There is not much to review now, the forum only has less than 5 posts. The background you use on this board is large 929.53 KB. That will slow the site when it loads. For people that use dial up connection, it will take 2 minutes just to load the background. You should remove the session Id in URLs. Session id make your URLs longer and harder for search engines to list your pages. All urls should ended with .html, .php, .asp, .... example of session id in your url: s=ac4d4f17265a 1844a0bc49abbc5b 57d&f=17
Change your meta description and your keywords. The meta description is one of the most important things you can change on your site. This tells google "what" your site is about. And right now its a vbulletin forum, not a sports forum. Also edit the "powered by" in the site title. See this link on how to change that setting - http://forum.vbulletinsetup.com/f7/powered-vbulletin-title-tag-how-remove-23.html The forum sections should be listed in some type of order, such as A B C order, not as random listings as you have now. During the registration process you may want to go with ReCaptcha instead of just regular capthca. The new spam bots and read the captcha phrase. In other words, your asking to get spammed by not using ReCaptcha. Your background image is 929.53 KB - this is WAY too big. The entire home page should be less then 100kb and just the background image is 9X that much.
Loading is very slow but the forum niche is good. need more post on your forum, hope you lucky with it. You may submit your link to my web directory
I like your site layout, but I am not very fond of the color choices. I think you should either change your background to something not green or change your headers to some darker color like blue so u can tell apart the background and the page. The banner has tiny pixels everywhere and I think you should change your title font to make it a bit more professional.
It's just default vb layout with an extra large background, you should grab a custom template then adapt it.
Great first step but you need to work on the design. That background is cool, maybe make it fixed. Keep trying
Interesting forum and will be useful for the sports lovers.I like the background image that was suited perfectly.But the header need to be changed and should add more posts to full the threads in forum.Thanks.
The tiny pixels was added as a filter so the SportSpeech.com name would stand out more. Thank you for the background comment amongst all the hate! lol And we will have a new logo up soon but right now I have been working on things such as meta data and some other technological aspects that need to be ironed out first. What do you mean how? Well like we hold competitions and will post about various sporting events that we are interested in. If you like sports, more than likely you will join. How do I go about that? Thank you everybody for your feedback. We are taking everything into consideration and encourage more feedback as well
I do not like the logo or the background, I think the site would look much better if you got a professional logo and a professional template.
Your header should be sports related and the site title need more contrast. It gets lost in the image.
You changed up your meta description, good. <meta name="keywords" content="sports, forum, sportspeech" /> <meta name="description" content="This is a friendly chat community dedicated mainly to sports" /> I still suggest you sort the forum sections in ABC order, instead of the random listings like you have now. If you do not know how to sort your forums: VB control panel - Forums & Moderators - Forum Manager - in the right hand column put a number in the "Display Order" column and click "save display order" - which is at the bottom of the page. This will sort your forum sections according to the number in the "Display Order" column. One of my thoughts is, what is the "Competitions" section for? <-- you do not have to answer that question. Overall, I like the look of the forum. it just needs some minor tweaking.
Nice forum, nice header and nice layout! You may want to change the fav icon. Best of luck with the site! Kind Regards
Its the little icon to the left of your sites name in the browser address bar. Your still using the default VBulletin favicon.
