    The design looks ok to me, one thing noticed on your forum is that you have lots of subforums and some of which are not very active, why merge them into mopre general single sub forum. It will reduce the clutter on the main forum page, make subforum look much more active and will be much easier to manage, once you start getting big you can then again create subforums.

    Thanks a lot hostvortix and dman_2007, i like the logo too... about subforums i think you are right, i know some subforums are almost empty or empty at all but my question is: if merging subforums and gaining more activity and traffic one day i need to separate them again, must i move each topic to the new separated catefories manually or even it's possible to do it automatically?.

    Thanks again, now any other suggestion or comment?.

    Sorry, never used vbulletin, so can't really say if it automating this is possible or not, maybe some other member will tell you.

    It looks okay to me. The biggest problem I found is that it seems to take up the entire screen no matter what screen resolution the user is using. It's fine in most cases, however, using certain screen resolutions the site appears a bit "stretched out".

    it looks great, good color coordination.
    some categories are really active, nice to have couple of hundreds of members out there, but for the inactive ones, it shouldn't be a prob if you start writing in 'em too =)


    with my verizon dsl - 1.5 mb connection, it loads instantly without a problem, so I guess it would be fine for those with cables?

    btw, do you think you can pm me about what you did to bling your logo like that? =p Greatly appreciated.

    Sorry by the delay responding this topic but i was a little bussy. about the logo isn't really a logo, i mean it's a banner made by a friend (the banner has a white background and the forum has a white background also so i loaded it as a logo. About colors it's a free template (you could find the site where i found it on the footer of my forum). Thanks a lot for your opinions ;)
