First off, I want to apologize for making a second forum for basically the same topic. Is there a certain point when you can no longer edit your posts, because I was unable to edit my last topic. I will keep everything consolidated in here, but the last topic had so many changes to my look, and I wasn't able to put them in the OP. Anyway, here is my first serious attempt at a site. Currently, I have a free phpbb forum running. I plan to revamp the site and add a blog as a main page. what do you guys think. I was thinking about changing a lot of the black parts to white. The blog: The matching forum: Is there a way to change the 'forum, last post, etc' bar from black to white? The buttons and headers all have image files, which I can edit, but I'm not sure how to change the forum headers. By the way, I tried right clicking the black bar that I want to change and hit 'View background image', but, for some reason, that just takes me to the background image I have for the header. It only does this on the black bars. The orange bars I am able to see what file is the source.
Thank you. Any tips for me. I am pretty satisfied with how it looks. Although, I kinda want to cut down on some black, as I feel it looks a little too dark. But, I still am content with it. Any tips would be appreciated.
I like your idea and design - orange is a nice bet for a very fresh forum. But this kind of orange somewhat makes my eyes hurt. Maybe you can change it a bit? And I guess orange and black without the blue addition will look much better.
Not bad. Your design looks cool. I like your choice of colors except for the blue that seems out of place. Otherwise, good work.
Thanks for the comments guys. I do see what you are saying about the Blue. However, I was trying to go for something that fits, and also stands out. Without the blue, it looks great, but it looks a bit generic to me. I want people to see orange + blue and think of my site.
