The Christmas Forum

[Teg]

So yeah, new forum, not a lot of content yet, but I am working on that. Has a nice Christmas feel, a place for affiliates, a home page (still being worked on), Christmas Smileys, Icons and more... Basically a year round forum for people to discuss the holidays and various things that go along with it.. Thoughts?

Love your forum. Great theme and colors. The snowflake animation is very neat.

Thank you tom, I figured a Christmas theme for a Christmas forum was the way to go. The snowflake animation is actually a plugin I found through the PB Plugin Library. I appreciate your comment.

Still accepting feedback

It's a nice forum. It's a great start. Unfortunately it's a little late in the season. Don't get discouraged. If you keep going you should have a lot more activity next year.

We appreciate you taking an interest in giving opinions about members forums but please read the rules and take a look at some of the examples of a proper critique. Thanks.

Hey, If they can have a Christmas store open all year round, why not a message forum. lol

Quick Critique

Likes:

The banner is adorable!  I can't find anything wrong with it and that is a rarity with me. I can't even be nit picky and find anything wrong with it.

The forum page is very nicely done. The hierarchy of you text is very well done from the banner text, to title text to content text. Even your on/off icons are the perfect size and I like that they are customized.

All the text color choices make everything easy to read.

I like the idea of a featured recipe and gift.

Dislikes:

The home page or portal page has a few minor issues. The content text seems a tiny bit too large as compared to your forum page, which is perfect. The content text just seems a bit too close in size next to the banner text and appears to be the same size as your title text. Since it is the "home" page I don't mind if it is a bit larger than the forum content text but just maybe a few pixels smaller than the title text size?

I'm sure you are aware your one title "Countdown 'till Christmas" isn't aligned to the left as the other titles but I only have IE currently on my lap top so maybe it is fine in other browsers. I'm not sure if it has something to do with css "floating left" or not. There must be some css that is different for that one section and I'm sorry I'm not able to pin point what it is.

And this is just being downright nit picky but you did so well on everything else it would be great if both your featured images had no border. The cat one has two sides with a think dark border. But again, just nit picky.

Overall, I love your forum, it's cheery, inviting, nicely designed and it's a great idea! There are people who are nuts about Christmas so I bet you have a healthy community in no time but I'll still wish you the best of luck with it.

It looks good.

Your title:The Christmas Forum and its main discussions are all about Christmas.

Is your forum's goal to be a seasonal forum?
