Review my forum

I like the name......i think , I would have liked to see a vbulletin or Xenforo forum being used instead of Phpbb , No offence its just me and my pet hate for phpbb . If i see a forum thats running it then its likely i wont sign up. Obviously it does have a good following though and im sure people will love it that like phpbb or that just dont care what they use.

 

I was planning to move to Xenforo see: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=2008564#post15330553

 

Its a good move imo, You might even catch some of the Xenforo buz that alot of people seems to be following Xenforo forums at the moment. Phpbb Imo just can not cut it in todays competition with IPB ,VB and Xen . MyBB would be the closest free forum that i would say its half decent but from an SEO point of view and from a Busy admin's point of view PhpBB just takes too much work .

 

Nice Work ^^

quite a good job but i d also use some other forum software

 

Best of luck, I am seriously considering forums for a couple of my sites. I figure though, to append a subdomain or a subdirectory on the main domain, that way hoping to help drive traffic to the main site. Granny's Herbs (Where you're always welcome!) might be my first priority to get a forum in.

 

Thank you for the feedback everyone!

@bonusfreak I said I am getting Xenforo.

Also we got 200+ likes on Rankupforum facebook page.

 

I like it. Good colors, sort of dark, but still good. Good luck!

 

Dark how? Its a light theme.

 

I see a dark blue background, with dark blue separations, and dark blue header. Light blue pages and text. I wouldn't call it a "light" theme, but that's me.

 

Well I found it on this phpbb style site and it was listed as a light theme. But enough off topic please.

 

Good job.. It looks good!

 

Thanks HVH!

 

I'm okay with the color theme, dark themes seem to grow comfortable on me pretty fast. But somehow I feel a bit lost in there.
Some content is good, but the structure for me is a little confusing

 

Thats a really cool forum you should add more categories to your forum and add better icons to your forums

 

I don't see how this is confusing? It don't at all.. What you said about it being confusing made no sense at all...

Why add more catagories? I rather not have a index that takes a long time to scroll up and down like what your suggesting. Also I am planning to buy a custom theme for it in the future so don't worry.

 

Its not that bad but could be improved.

 

More visitors would be great. You need a lot of members in your forum, so keep advertising
