[align=center] [size=xx-large]Admin Access[/size][/align] Congratulations! Your forum review has been completed. The forum review will hold many tips, suggestions, comments, and feedback that are convenient and voluntary for your forum. Here is your forum review: Note: Your current review is based on the "Style 1" setting. [size=large]Generalities[/size] First Impressions (Score: 20/20): Ok, first thing's first. When I first arrive at your forum I am greeted with a very, very impressive theme. It looks sleek and well-designed and it makes me that much more interested in registering for your forum. Another nice addition is that the theme colors make it easy on the eyes, but still clear in which are categories and which are forums. Your categories have very appealing names that stand out and instantly define almost everything within them. I will get into more detail on those in the following sections. Categories & Forums (Score: 9/10): Your categories as well as your forums make it very easy to understand what to expect in terms of topics and forums. Also, your categories and forums easily match the forum's main theme; a place for webmasters and admins. However, having the "Forum of The Month" forum all the way at the bottom of that page isn't that great if you want it to get easily noticed! Generalities total :: 29/30 [size=large]Forum Style[/size] Major Graphics (Score: 8/10): [size=medium]Banner[/size]: (4/5) Your banner, currently located at the top/left of the page is quite small, however it matches the theme perfectly. The key going into the D matches the general theme of the forum perfectly, as well as the name. I love the light-grey circle on the dark-grey background. It looks very professional. Overall, I am impressed with your banner, however it go get a little bit bigger. [size=medium]Navigation Bar[/size]: (4/5) In your current forum, you have multiple navigation bars. You have one up at the very top, which is a text-only blue bar. You also have one on the side-bar on the left, Which is the basic forum tools and user menu. Then, in the page, you have a "Board Index; Login; Register" bar and a breadcrumb trail. All of these navigation bars EXCEPT for the blue trail at the top match your theme perfectly. Consider changing the blue buttons at the top to images like the "Board Index; Login, etc" bar below, but a different color, like blue. Images & Icons (Score: 10/10): You don't have that many images around your forum, except for your navigation links, your banner, and your membership registration ad at the bottom. However, all of the images present match the rest of your theme perfectly, colors and all. Your theme is a Grey and Blue theme, therefore all of the images you have contain those colors. Your theme is near flawless; No problems here. Forum Layout & Colour Scheme (Score: 10/10): Your forum consists of a fairly simple color scheme, Blue and Grey. Therefore, all of the colors around the board match that theme, which is a very good job on your part. The Forum Categories are a light blue, the membership registration logo is a blue, the background of the forum is a dark grey and the logo has a light grey background. AMAZING JOB! No Problems at all here. Forum Style total :: 28/30 [size=large]Usergroups[/size] Population of Groups (Score: */10): I am unable to view your forum team or usergroup population without registering, therefore this section is except. Staff Groups / User Groups (Score: */10): I am unable to view your forum team or usergroup population without registering, therefore this section is except. Usergroups :: */20 [size=large]Forum Activity[/size] Post/Member Ratio & Quantity (Score: 10/10): Again, like everything else on your forum, this section has great statistics. 1,146 posts for only 56 is awesome! That's almost 20 posts per member! With these statistics, you have a very active forum and many dedicated members, as well as an awesome staff. Congratulations to such a wonderful job running your forum! Again, like nearly every other section, absolutely no problems here. Users Active (Score: 9/10): There is no way for me to see the exact statistics or the amount of users online in the past 24 hours, however, by simply scrolling down your list of forums gives me the answer to the Users Active. You have a new post in just about every forum on your board from TODAY! That is again wonderful!! However, you "Offsite Promotion" forum is the only one that hasn't had a post today. Consider finding some way to boost up it's activity. I know it's minor, but, hey! It's the only thing wrong I could find anywhere. Forum Activity total :: 19/20 [align=center] [size=xx-large]Overall Marking: 76/80[/size] [size=xx-large]You have passed![/size] [/align] [size=medium]What could be done to improve your forum:[/size] Your forum is a prospering small forum that has gotten off to a great start, with almost a totally active user count, many posts per user, and stunning graphics. There were very, very few remarks I could make on things to fix. However, the small things like the bright blue text-only bar at the top could be changed to look more attractive and some way to boost activity on the Offsite Promotion would make your forum basically perfect. Then all you would have to do is advertise! [size=medium]The best thing I like about your forum:[/size][hr] There is one thing that I like about your forum: I only made 2 TINY remarks on things to fix. Generally, I try my hardest to give the person as many constructive criticism as possible, but here, it just wasn't possible. Way to go!
