    Hello, i am the admin of www.teenstalkmoney.com and my target audience is 13-19 year olds, i am unsure about the orange in my theme, i feel it is an ok style as it appeals to younger people but not too childish for older members.

    What do you think, if you think the orange should be changed what coliur do you suggest?

    Any other comments are appreciated even if they aren't about the style. All members are welcome and appreciated.:)

    The text boxes for the user login and the links in the navigation of the site
    would look better if they were in the banner at the top of the page and I
    think you should move the ad below the header down, and get a
    professional logo for the site.

    Personally, I don't think the orange+green look will go.
    Try some other combinations of colors, like blue/white or blue/light blue for example. Something that will fit the 1st color and won't hurt the eyes ;)

    The orange and green don't really go together, not enough contrast between the colours, especially with a some of blue thrown in there too.

    Try mixing the colour scheme up a bit, e.g. Blue and White will go well, Orange and Blue will go well...think of it as decorating a room :D

    well the blue is not supposed to be there, i did get rid of it once and then for a different reason the forum broke so it changed and it wont change back from blue, i like the green which represents money and i was flcking between tthe orange and green and the vb default and realized mine is quite bright, but if i use the green and vb default itll be like a dp copy.:(

    Nice forum.

    I would suggest creating a more appealing logo, i would also suggest, changing the backgroud colour to a differnet colour - maybe light blue.

    Best of luck with the site!

    Kind Regards

    i have changed the background colour and am in getting a professional logo designed, something along the lines of the letters TTM "hugging" a 3d globe.

    Great forum, but you can get plenty of nice, free VB themes on the net. I would look at downloading a nice theme, and making yourself I nice header.

    The colour scheme of the main content is excellent .
    The header color scheme is not as good as the color scheme of main content .

    By the header colour do you mean the lime green?
