    Hi guys,

    Please review my forum and the skin at http://ejaan.com
    Its using the latest phpBB with some custom hacks. Theme was created by me using Photoshop CS, from time to time I change the header image .. during holidays I usually make a holiday based theme. Most users are 13 to 30 yrs old. Very active forum online since 2002.

    Any comments, suggests, complains or compliments are welcome.

    Regards,
    Ali

    kinder looks like a christmas theme with the green header and the red on the content bars. not really sure about the dark and light brown has the backgroud change it to the red and green colors so they contrast with the rest of the site. Also maybe give some color to the navigation buttons. But overall its a good looking forum

    I like he background. About the green header, not sure. About your other banner, just fine. Looks like this is an active forum. interesting! :)

    I think the header and background image look out of place. The main content area looks good though. Also, the google ads at the top of the content area are not placed well.

    Sorry for the delayed response, just want to quickly thank everyone for the comments. I've changed the google ads on top and now hopefully would have better views and click ratio and also placed google ads as the 2nd post of the topics. :)

    Hello.

    Had a glance at your forum. My initial thoughts are that the site design is quite busy.

    My Review

    Site Header
    Nice header. It would be good to place text that describes what the forum is about.

    Content Categories
    Your certainly have many. Not all related and many.

    Users
    Good to see that you have a large amount of followers.

    SEO
    I think that your site could benefit from assistance with SEO. Its actually quite affordable now. I'd recommend a fella from DP forums. His DP name is YouKay. He did some work for me... and I've been quite impressed with him. Please do have a look at his link.

    Design
    Another person I'd recommend for any design assistance is Spirit of 1970. He is also here on DP. Please have a look at his DP link. I had him do some work and he is amazing.

    I'm using FireFox on PClinuxOS for this review.

    I do hope it helps.
    Respectfully.
