    Just wondering what you think about a site I've been working on recently - Jibble

    It's a site for teens and young adults. The design has been integrated and is finally complete. Just need to sort out privacy policy and some other things. So far, there are 71 members. Most are friends from school, while others are from forums where I've posted asking for feedback.

    Also, what do you think about the welcome message I have?

    Does it seem welcoming? :D

    Any feedback/recommendations are appreciated.

    Still working on packing the site with more features. :)

    Thanks for your suggestion. There is a forum already, but no blog. Definitely thinking of adding a blog in the near future though once I get a few things sorted. :)

    Nice layout only the forum style can get a update to match the rest of your website.

    The black buttons are like strobe lights, try putting a 2px border of the opposite colour.

    Also when you sign up the confirmation code is in the html so could be easily bypassed.

    Another problem no apparant captcha system, so i could add every single user as a friend in about an hour with a script.

    The top of profile pages look extremerly plain try an image there maybe? Perhaps the jibble logo in the top left corenr linked back to the hompeage for easier navigation?


    however i do like your site, and to ad interactivity i could suplly you with 6000 flash games from funzac to allow users to put them on their profiles? hjust an idea.

    The design is nice, but it looks like a personal blog, or a digg rip off. No offence, but you might want to try something a little more original. Maybe even just a colour change.

    Also, the page takes so much time to load the the W3C verification times out. On my machine, the page looks complete, but the ticker keeps spinning and the text "Connecting to jibble.com" stays.

    About the black buttons, I do agree. I'll see if I can put a border around it.

    While I am aware of the captcha problems and the verification code problem, I'm pretty sure they'll be fixed in the next version of phpFoX that's coming out very soon. Thanks for reminding me though.

    Last of all, thanks for the suggestion about the top/bottom of profile pages. I'll probably just replace the footer jibble.com with a link saying "Back to Jibble" and just replace the header jibble.com with a small logo and link it back to the site aswell.

    Thanks for the feedback! :)

    Yes, I know.. :(

    I'm hosted with ASmallOrange, a supposedly reputable host well-known for their service and reliability. I'm not sure why, but it seems that my site is always slow. I may have to try another reliable shared host and if that still doesn't work, I may have to just go dedicated.

    Not sure if you're trying to say I'm not 15 or something like that. :D I really am. :p

    But anyways, yes, I do have a lot of time on my hands I guess.

    Sweet! Maybe just try to change places of Login, Featured Profile and the Welcome block. As right now am getting a feeling of a very busy center.

    Its good. There seems to be a lot of empty spaces on the site, which may be a good thing.

    Yes, alot of my friends are making recommendations on changing where everything is placed. I may have to consider changing the site around a bit to make it not look so busy.

    Thanks for the feedback!
