    Hey guys, as some of you know i had a bit of template trouble, then one of your members told me i should make my own.

    so following that route, here it is. ^^

    http://genvision.net

    its not completely finished, but its a start. took me a few days to code it and get most of the graphics made.

    as you can see the big empty space below my navigation bar is meant for my banner once its completed.

    i say its around 85%-90% completed.

    if you guys give me some tips on making it more easier to navigate, and use that would be awesome :cool:

    You should also have a logo for the site.

    The template is a no go for me. Get something bold and pretty but useable.

    thanks for the replies guys, and yea as i stated in my first post that i would replace the blank space with our banner / logo once its completed

    and i think i done good for my first phpbb3 skin. there arent that many professional phpbb skins, and the free ones dont really appeal to me, function and design wise.

    and a lot of phpbb users, think that mine looks better than most of the skins (which most are made from using existing templates, while mine is from scratch.)

    and as its still being made, and tweaked. i think it has room to expand, thats why i need some feedback on it to improve.

    thats why i asked here, to get a review of it, tell me the good + bad points, etc.

    a couple of my members thought i should add a sidebar, to clear the clutter round the central block (login, usercp, show latest threads, announcements, latest reviews, etc.)
