Hey!

This is my forum for forum design. We just moved to vB. A few basic hacks have been installed and I just made a new skin which to be honest really isn't too advanced, but it serves the purpose for now :confused:

Any advice, especially relating to how we are a skinning community, I'd love to hear!

Thanks,
Mike

I quite like the design of the logo but it has far to much of a drop shadow. I would seriously lower the opacity and possibly change the blending mode so it's not has prominent.

Okay, the style. Far to much red for me, I would have broke down certain areas and implemented other colours to break the red out.

The forum icons seem to be saved for another coloured background. In otherwords, the graphic is showing a white surround and this gives off an ugly white matte and jaggy edged image which could have been easily correct by finding out the hex value of the background and saving the image to compliment that which would have ensuured a smotther edged image.

The same goes for the images in the "what's going on" area.

Same for the button set. I'm seeing a jaggy edge, I duon't know whether this is an incorrect matte background problem or a masking issue but the edging on most of the images look very poor.

Tweak up the fine details and possibly break the over powering red by giving the thead gradient a colour change.

Goodluck with your forum.

I always check for a white matte, and I thought I lucked out and didnt get one. I still dont see it...

I dont see any white.

As far as the red, that is just the layout for the website's colors. Scarlet n tan.

Its just a temporary skin, but Ill let ya know when I get a better one out.

buen aporte, aunque casi no hablo el ingles espero que asi me puedan entender jaja xD
