vTwisted1x Games & General Forum.

[Former Member]

Hello ProBoards, Currently I made my website about a year ago, Haven't had time to EDIT or do anything else until now. 

Also I would like a general is it alright? Too Much? Does it need more? Anything will help.

Also I'm not sure how to Open forum to guest's but once someone tells me I will open it. 

Thanks , vTwisted1x

Solid start, vTwisted1x And you've clearly solved the 'open to guests' problem as I had no trouble viewing it.

Let's start with the positives

• I like your colourful background, simple.
• I'm a big fan of your category images. For example, General Section with the cup of tea. Always a winner to a Brit! 

Suggestions

• One of the first things I noticed was the white text beginning with 'Please consider...'. This does not blend well with the colourful background, to the point I have trouble reading it. I would change the font.
• Personally, I think the overall look of the forum would benefit from having board images (such as your 'Maple Story' image) of the same size. At the moment, the Games Section's images are too large. My suggestion would be to go with sizes similar to the image you have in the General Section category.
• In terms of content, I believe you might want to re-think a board for banned members. Ask yourself, what does this say about my forum? Do you want to display to every member (and guest who might be thinking about joining your forum) that this is the sort of community that attracts spammers and rule-breakers? If you feel the board is still necessary, why not hide it from guests/members and just display it for yourself and other staff? If you're unsure how to, I would happy to explain.
• As a guest viewing your forum, unless I knew specifically what sort of games your Games Section already featured, I wouldn't have much to go on. You might want to try looking at your forum as a guest and deciding whether it would be something you would want to join or not? If not... what would you like to see? What would entice you? What information could you display on your chosen topics to draw people in? How could you entice people in that may not have heard of any of the games mentioned?
• My final suggestion would be to play around with everything. Learn by doing, learn by experimenting. I think you could particularly focus on graphics at the moment, try different images, you could even get images requested from this graphics request board here.

I feel there is more to say vTwisted1x, but I would rather see this forum up on this rating board once these aspects and more have been played around with. Best of luck with your forum adventure and I'm sure we'll see some great things!

Hello, Chaz
Thanks for all the input, I have noticed my background was hard to deal with because of text and other colors.
I currently changed around my Forum a lot.
1.I changed background to something darker and put it as Fixed scrolling.
2.Also i had Set my Banned board to private so only Admin, Mods may see it.Also I have it just in case people make a second account with the same kind of name.
3.I put a lot of rewards for members, Bank, Wallet, all of that. I want members to have fun an achieve things.
I recently found out that I did not have it set to guests and that was a mistake, I've learned that you don't want people to Sign up if the forum is new, Get posts, New threads... GET NOTICED!
So thanks Chaz, I would love to learn more from you and I will always learn from my mistakes

Also Sorry, I forgot... The image size i have no idea how to change, I'm On Chromebook so I can't edit them on my computer, Also THE GFX Team on this Proboards I did not know they had.... I will definitely check them out!
Once I learn or someone can make me a small icon, Those will be changed for sure!
They've always looked to big for me but couldn't find a smaller one.
Thanks Charlie [Chaz]
