    I run a rather large teen site www.cool-teens.com

    I'm looking to make improvements based on some reviews it get here. I ask that you provide your honest comments, maybe make suggestions of what could be improved.

    Love the Design, I'm not a fan of the round corners but it looks really cool. I love Green :D Alot of great features, and an active forum. You've been open since 1997? That's excellent. Only thing I have to complain about is the orange highlight text on the forum...It's hard to read the username. But overall great community you have there! :D

    This is what we do to ensure safety of our users http://www.cool-teens.com/forum/showthread-t_43336.html

    As for links, I would have to talk to the other admin about that. Really that site isn't active like it once was, this is mainly due to no being good at making php scripts.

    can i ask also if your admin (and anyone else who has access to private info) are professionals and have been checked, or can anyone become a mod and access data?

    Most of the staff are teens. They are moderators, so they really don't have access to any private info, the only people who do are myself and the other admin. We do have a registered nurse on the forum, who has had a background check bring that he is a nurse.

    like the layout, maybe you should do something with the menu, rollover images for example. And the links in the site itself, maybe different color, the standard blue clashes with the rest.

    Good luck

    You should consider moving the CSS code into a seperate file.

    Good luck with your site...

    the color black is pretty popular with teens, especially with the boys.
