BRAND NEW DESIGN for review - search engine

Hi

please review my new design, its a forum search engine www.forumlife.co.uk

got lots of feedback on my last design so am looking for the same response again please

thanks

 

this one is good. you got simple theme, plain white, but I personally don't like the font, it's too standard, try to use other font will you ?

 

Good theme website! My suggestion are listed here.

1. Make good looking logo.
2. Add AUTO SUGGESTIONS to easy search. See Examples below Ex1:http://www.devbridge.com/projects/autocomplete/jquery/
Ex2:http://www.brandspankingnew.net/specials/ajax_autosuggest/ajax_autosuggest_autocomplete.html
3. Make a border for Other pages

 

Here I reviewed your site: http://tictalk.org/review-of-forumlife/

Check it out

 

Is this site supposed to be functional? I did a couple of standard searches but only got a single result back.

 

this is functional, what search terms did you use?

 

thanks, have read and will take on board

 

nice theme, but the "Add a Forum" link below search box is excess

 

not sure I know what you mean by "excess"? i assume your saying it doesnt need to be there?

 

Hi)
i like the design but white font is too sharp for me, so i think you the different colour, in other all is OK)

 

I think you need a easier font to read or make it bigger.

 

Way too many advertisements, especially the info links all over the search results. Google is successful because their ads don't intrude your viewing space, they're very discrete yet they're there if you need them.

 

Each site has a different design/fonts...

Click on about and you will see a different font then home.

The code is a little bit messy, designed with tables, CSS code where it does not belong, look here:

            <td width="2%"><div align="left" class="style22"> 
                <div align="right"><span class="style23"><a href="#m"></a></span></div> 
            </div></td> 
          </tr> 
        </table></td> 
      </tr> 
 
                   
 
<style type="text/css"> 
 
.style1 {
	font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
	font-weight: bold;
	font-size: 10px;
}
.style13 {font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-weight: bold; }
.style15 {font-size: 12px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; }
.style17 {font-size: 12px}
.style18 {
	color: #FFFFFF;
	font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
	font-size: 11px;
}
.style19 {
	font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
	font-weight: bold;
	font-size: 12px;
	color: #FFFFFF;
}
.style22 {font-size: 11px}
.style23 {font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif}
.style24 {color: #999999}
-->
</style> 
 
  
      <tr> 

Code (markup):

Technically a no go, at least for me.

Clean and simple design, nothing more to say.

all this is fixed - site is Valid with W3C

 

Yes, the "add a forum" doesn't work, and you already have two "Submit Forum".

 

I have removed this link now, so users can use the "submit forum" link instead

 

It doesn't open for me

 

really? everyone else appear to get to it without problem. maybe internet connection?
