Hi there and thanks in advance for rating my site!  Just looking for some new ideas, pros and cons, etc.  We are 5 years old and looking at perhaps doing a revamp in December.

A hospital/real life/city RPG

Thanks again!

Hello Lady Lex, I am Sarapha, a friendly reviewer of forums. The way that I review a board is that I look it over as a guest, and write down what I see, in the order I see it. Then, I take another look, and see what details can be tweaked. I have 8+ years of experience with Proboards and its glory. Let us start

First Glance
This board is beautiful! I'm a big fan of blue anything, and though I've never been able to pull off the template being blue, this board does so very nicely. It is very nice to look at

Banner
Thanks to the banner, I know exactly what the site is about, and a few pieces of information that would be vital to know as a guest (such as the word count)

Color Scheme
Beautiful

Other
In the side table, with the navigation, having it empty like that was a big shock and confusion. As a veteran of code, I knew to scroll over to see what was there, but if your guest is new to boards like this, they may not catch on to that. I'm not a big fan of the hover-codes.
The curser turning into a plus sign is also a bit unnerving. As the standard arrow is visually recognized faster, it takes a while for the eye to adjust to the change, and even after 10 minutes scrolling through, I still had difficulty locating and using the curser. It also makes it difficult to click links, since the plus sign has to be lined up just right. They are little things, but they do make a difference.
The Chatbox, same thing with the rules. While I do love the hover code for the staff members, having it for vital rules of the chatbox might not be ideal.

Snaaag... I see a lot of Doctor House, and I see the PP. I don't see anywhere that says it's a House M.D. RP, but I think, especially in the affiliates section, having Hugh Laurie and the PP will confuse people into thinking you are referencing Princeton Plainsboro.

Final Thoughts
This site looks wonderful, and a lot of fun to be on. There really isn't anything aside from the stuff that is pretty much personal preference that I would change about it.

Great job

Thanks for your review and all the wonderful suggestions! I will pass these along to my coder. Definitely some important things to think about in order to attract more people!

Love the Graphics. Very nice site.

I would advise you to make the Color group of Purple a bit lighter. Because currently, it's melding with the background and is hard to see.

Thank you! I've thought about your suggestion several times... it is rather hard on the eyes. Maybe I will make that a project for this weekend!
