| A medieval fantasy RP with no story and a very simple setting. Currently we have our Halloween-theme online, but I guess that could use a rating, too. This forum is not intended for people who are looking for a long and complex storyline, please consider this if you rate my forum. If you take the time to take a look at my forum and write a rating, I would be very grateful! morpheuss.boards.net~ missNK

1. Chatbox location. In the way, not lined up with the margin as it appears on my computer and I have an average computer. I'm viewing this in firefox. 2. Information and Statistics seems cluttered. 3. In your about, remove yourself from it. Don't talk about "I." It makes it sound like, to a person on a deeper level, that you either have a strong hand on the site and what goes on or that the idea about to be presented with be hard to grasp. A we approach might sound better but I would go with "This site intends to create a place... bla bla bla" Don't defend your position of no plotline. Introduce, instead, the setting and premise. Most people that complain about lack of plot don't understand the difference of the two anyways. The premise should be first in the "about" anyways. Looking at the page before clicking "read more" I have no idea what the premise is other than it will have something to do with hypnosis or dreams. If that is what you have on the ends of premise, perhaps we can brainstorm together to make something a bit more clear.
I love the look of your site (save for the location of the chatbox clickie and the clutter of the stats box). It is very different and feels smooth.

Tokusie (your username is just perfect, hehe), first thank you for your review! Then, for the points you made: 1. The chatbox is not supposed to line up with the forum, but with the left side of your browser (with a margin of 20px or so). So if you have a small(er) screen, it will be indeed on top of the forum. As you are not the first one having problems with it's location, I am considering to replace it. 2. Can you explain this? I am not sure if I'm grasping the meaning of cluttered well enough (a bit of a mess, right?), but if I do, I am not sure why you see it this way. Or is it because you don't like the text and prefer more of a list? (like the original info-center) 3. You are probably right about the 'I'. Usually I set up a site in a team, and it easier to speak about 'the site' or 'we'. Because Morpheus feels like solemnly 'my' product, it is harder to not use 'I'. But, then again, you are probably right (: Your second point is a real good suggestion and I will probably rewrite the 'welcome's message' on the homepage. As for the information topic, I think this will do, as I want to state clearly what you should(not) expect from the site. I am happy you like the overall layout of my forum, and, again, I am very pleased you took your time to take a look and write a review. Thank you.

MissNK (someone who actually got it! I'm shocked. I've had this sn for 11 years and you are the first.) 1. It doesn't line up with the margin is what I meant and why I stated that my computer is an average laptop screen. It is currently sitting on the form. If you can fix it, that would be awesome. Maybe make the button smaller or vertical. It is ok for the cbox to over lap when open but the button is in the way of viewing the forum for me. 2.It seems like a runon of information, in many cases like a run on sentence. The information is strung out and clinging to each other. It is hard to explain the visual effect it has in words. Statistics when glanced at (as these stats usually are) should be organized in such a way that simply glancing down the numbers pop out and are labeled briefly. It seems you made the Information and Statistics footer a paragraph than a quick collection of data and links. 3.I understanding adding what you should not expect from the site, maybe do this briefly? I feel confused about the setting right off because your introduction makes it sound like it is almost a place to set up independent 1x1 or small group pairings with no real need for connection with what anyone else is doing. If that is so, maybe make it a little clearer. I love your set up as well and am drowning in jealousy

Tokusie (Just in case, but I meant your username, not your displayname) 1. Yeah, I will fix it, probably with a vertical button (: 2. Okay, I got the idea quite right than. I appreciated your comment / view, but I like this better. I will keep it in mind however for the layouts I will put up for download! 3. I need to give this a second thought and rewrite a bit, probably. Will take a look at it, thank you again for your time ^^ And: don't drown, life is so much more fun without being drowned
