    Hi Guys

    I was wondering if anyone fancied reviewing my website. TalesFromWork.com

    Basically the site is a community to allow people to share, discuss and laugh about work...Hopefully can get this off the ground by getting more n more people signed up!!

    Cheers

    The orange is a bit bright. The text is quite small too. It might just be me because I've had little sleep and can't really see that well anyway :eek:

    I suggest choose a dark color for the font on the top bar to contrast the light orange.

    The orangy (am color blind) color is a bit light and as the top navigation bar is a bit difficult to read.. But it could be my large resolution and color blindness.. Other than that, the layout is simple and overall well orgainized.

    I am curious though. How did you create the "Recent Threads" section in phpBB? Is that a mod? I would appreciate any direction on this. Thanx!

    Yep it looks great, that forum skin was made by my ex-love... or something like that! It's for phpBB, "Oh-ahh Orange" I think that's what he named it.

    Hey Weir,

    Life's kept me busy. I won't be around as often anymore. But they have you now Weir! ;)

    That's correct, it's part of the SkyLine series from Volize Web Design, and that particular one is "Ooh-Ah Orange" That's what the ex named it, lol.

    It looks normal enough. I wish you success with it. I would not find it of any interest, but I'm sure there are many who would.
