Side of the Angels

[Breeze]

I started a BBC Sherlock fansite a couple months ago, and I know I could improve it a lot, but I'm not quite sure how. I'd appreciate any honest opinions and/or ideas. Forum is located here: Side of the Angels

Thanks

Likes: Your banner and basic body colors.
Dislike: The background IMO it doesnt really go with the rest of the theme.

Do you plan on a side bar? Or maybe get a hover banner-?
Perhaps find some cool icons to replace the folders or maybe remove them all together.

Good luck!

STLUEE, thank you so much for the input!

I was working on a side bar, but I didn't think it looked quite right. I might still add one, though. And that's a good idea with the folders. Could make it look more interesting

Thanks again!

There is a hover code around here somewhere for a banner.Have you thought of that instead of a sidebar?

[Breeze]

I tried that before, actually, after I changed the folders and the background, but I couldn't figure out how to do it without changing my banner too much. Apparently, I made mine too short. It's a work in progress XD Also, I did change the background as you suggested, and since my main problem with the sidebars was how they covered up the parts of the background I wanted visible, it isn't a problem anymore and it might look better. I'm just trying a bunch of things as I go along and figuring out what looks best Your ideas really helped! Thanks

I like the bankground its alot better. I did notice that the rows go to white and then you can't read the description when scrolling over them.Maybe change the scroll color or text upon scrolling.It would be in the visual under rows. It would be cool if you could make the text the blue color.
On the sidebars, did you try a transparency?

[Breeze]

I changed the scroll colors, and it does look a lot better Thank you for helping me find that!

I didn't try doing that... I'm not very good with coding yet, so I'm trying to scroll through threads on here to figure out how to do things like that.

I added a tabbed table for my forum information. I've been advertising a lot, but I'm still not getting members. Does anyone think I could improve on something else, or should I just work on advertising more?

Hey Breezey!
Hmmmm let me take a look here. I really like the color scheme, the blues are all really nice and pretty and all! I like your banner as well, the only thing is at least on my computer screen it starts to repeat. I see half of (I don't watch this show so I don't know names) the guy with the curly hair on the left side as well and I see half of the guy with the grey hair on the right! Though again, that could just be my computer!

It's of my personal opinion that having the sub-boards visible underneath each board just kind of looks cluttered, so take that as you will! I do like all of the pictures that are next to each board though, they look nice as well! Last thing though and this was probably the biggest one for me... I'm not at all a fan of the color fade that you have on Admin Breeze. It's difficult to read and I just also think it might look a bit sloppy, but that's just me!

Okay just pondered, and one last thing came to mind. Maybe put more of a bio on the site other than the one sentence "We're a friendly...." that you have because I know I personally don't know exactly what would go on on a site like this so perhaps you could explain a bit more about what y'all do there!

Hey! Thanks for replying!

It repeats on mine too. To fix that, I suppose I need to just resize the banner to make it slightly longer, so I'll work on that

I just got rid of the sub-boards in the descriptions, thanks for the suggestion! And about the admin group color, I'm going to be working on the groups and colors, so I'll keep that in mind

I've been thinking about the description, too. I'll add to that! Thanks again for all your help, Morgan Hope your site is going well!
