I just finished reskinning my Forums: http://www.microsoft-analytics.com I think it turned out quite nicely and follows the microsoft (adcenter) style pretty well. What do you think, all comments and ideas on improving are more than welcome. Also what do you think of my contest idea to win free adSense ad space to start the buzz on this forum? Thanks!
Thanks. I have a pretty decent host. Have had it for 5 years now. Hostgator; we all know it. Pay the minimum of 10 bucks a month an now host about 10 sites and have data-transfer rates of several 100s of gigabytes. They never complain. I also have three website tracker scripts running, so that takes down the rumours that those thing will slow down your pages.
Not sure what the actual MS adcenter looks like, but I'll take your word for it. Looks clean and nice, and also loads very fast. Also I think there is something wrong with your sessions, I was getting session ID's for every single click.
@BlackWaterBlog: Were you getting a new session id every click or was the same one passed on? And, do you hove cookies enabled?? Please reply so I can try to solve the issue!
Thanks! That's weird... I'll keep an eye out for that. Just hope Google isn't getting a session id and I sure hope it doesn;t change on every page.
The design you have looks perfect and fits the theme of the forum very well. Load time is excellent too. I wish you all the best with the competition which I am sure will be very popular. Good work
I also hope this kicks in... Currently Microsoft Analytics is still in Beta, and not a lot of people are using it. I hope once it becomes available for the public more support questions will arise and the forum will get buzzing. It is a tough niche to compete in, but I think I have narrowed it down pretty well, and just hope this new Microsoft tool will get used a lot!
nice work from the phpbb theme, I would prefer a simple fluxbb system for my forums, as its fast loading and can be handled easily.
