DeuceAce.com Poker site Custom vBulletin design

    Hey,
    I am looking for some feedback on the new custom skin on www.DeuceAce.com

    The skin is still undergoing coding and small design changes so hoping to get some good feedback while it's still being worked on.

    There are a few images that need the background changed to fit the new gradients but that will be done very soon

    Thanks

    Ok just did some updates.

    I removed some forums (One will be invisible to the public soon).
    Descriptions added, really helps fill up the white space.

    I am starting to get the posts going, just getting some people to help fill it a bit before I go live with it.

    Still doing quite a lot of work on making it even more custom and fixing a few problems with images.

    Thanks again
    John

    You should trash the sidebar and place that content on the top. The sidebar takes to much space.

    Then don't criticise, give constructive feedback.
    Saying my site doesn't have as good a design as others doesn't help at all..

    The side bar will be removed from all pages excluding the homepage.
    Working on this, just have a problem with the code to do it right now.

    What I like:
    -The general theme and color scheme.
    -I really like your navigation bar too (the one on the left of the header banner).
    -The cards as icons.

    What I don't like:
    -Perhaps it's because of the left menu, but the site seems decentralized, I'm having trouble focusing on the actual forum.
    -Same thing with the "Welcome to Deuce Ace" at the top right of the site, maybe if it was a little more in the center.
    -Because of the black background, it's hard to read the icons legend text below the "display module box" when you select a forum section.

    All and all, I think it's nicely customized.


    BTW, I used to own a poker related site so I'm curious, pokeradnetwork pays based on CPM/CPC or conversion?

    umm is the right side of the website supposed to touch the edge? it looks "weird"...like it's incomplete or is an error.

    I had a whole message writen here and I hit refresh by accident so just writting a quick reply now.

    Thanks for all the feedback first :)

    I'm taking everything constructive and using it to improve the site.

    They pay CPM but I am only using them temp, I could do a lot better with my own ads.

    What green do you not like?
    Gradients? Plain colours?

    That is a problem with the actual vBulletin code SVZ but I used a fix, doing that now :)

    Thanks again
