the Dev Network - IT and Developer Community - Please review

Hey I have been working on this site for quite a while now, and luckily today is the big day, I have released my newest website, and soon to be greatest .

Without further a due I present to you:

the Dev Network

It is an IT and Developer community with more than just forums. I hope you like it please give me some reviews and constructive criticism.

 

Site looks well designed and loads fast, not too original though. Might want to get a logo and place it at the top and move the navigation buttons down a bit. The buttons don't form in a straight line BTW, but that was probably intended.

Clicking on community on the left menu leads to a dead link. You have a lot of categories in the forum, maybe combine similar topics such as C/C#/C++.

 

It will be original once the community is running and the reviews. Besides, I only found 1 other game developer forum in the net.

the logo is there, but the style makes it small, but its not that important:



What do you mean the buttons are not on a straight line? I'm pretty sure they are?

And the link is not dead, it leads to a comingsoon sign because that part is being developed yet.

Thanks for the review, will take in consideration about the forum categories.

 

The buttons appear as:



on 1024x768 in Firefox

 

Whoa thats weird, I think its you:

Firefox:



IE:



Besides my site programmer would have noticed beforehand and told me if that was the problem.

It might be because of your resolution, or the ads? I have 1280x1024.

 

Yeah, I think it is because of the resolution, I tried it with 1280x1024 and it looks fine like you posted above. If you drop to even a lower resolution (by making the window size small) the buttons form in a U-shape:

 

It is supposed to be a fluid theme...

What do you think is the problem, the right and left ad squares?

 

Not sure, but there is no ad square on the upper-right at the home page. But when I go to the forum, the right ad square appears.

 

Hmm I might as well take it off.

 

Nope, it didn't fix the problem

 

I just removed the ads, try again.

EDIT: I reduced my screen size, it was fine until it got to 800x600, but I don't think most people have 800x600.

 

Okay, it looks fine now

 

Thanks for all the help. +rep. Now that it suits you, why not register?

 

I registered I used to do a lot of C/C++ and VB programming years ago, but now not as much. I'll still check out your forums though

 

thanks again for the feedback, if only I could get more. Oh and if your interested in some Moderator jobs, I need one, that is, if you want to stay active.

 

site looks good and loading time is very less

 

yes, you have problem in page width.

 

Can you be more specific? Is it too large for you, what resolution are you on?

 

yeah, the resolution thingie. It's too wide.
