Site Link: The Sleeping DragonGenre: Harry Potter Status: Basically done, mostly just a bit of cleaning up now. Details: Basically, Tom Riddle died before Hogwarts, no Voldemort! Year is 1995, no war, tri-wizard tournament coming, only tensions are between pro-integration (with muggles) and anti-integration. Those from the three main schools are welcome, canon-related originals are allowed with permission from those who are already playing those canons. My Questions: Look good? There is a second theme that is a wooden type (I can send screenshots if you would like). Plot sound good and not super confusing? All the necessary claims, explanations, etc? Anything that could use improvement?

Hello! There are many HP sites from what I've seen and I'd like to start that your plot is definitely nice to see before I look at the site. Starting with the Tables, I think they work well with the type of forum design you're going with but what I think makes it look overcrowded are the images in the boards themselves. The stretch the board downward and create an ugly border in the boards. I'm not sure if you have the Board Description Images plugin installed but if not I'd definitely give it a look judging by the image in the plug-in it seems to get rid of the borders. These borders occur in "HOGWARTS" "HOGWARTS CONT" and "THE WORLD" The theme is very blue. Nothing collides to badly, but I would hope there are other options for themes as well. I feel like I've already touched on my opinions of the layout, but please don't add a affiliate table. Those tend to overcrowd a website and when half you website loading is the affiliate table it can really slow down the normal players of the site. In General I like the site, The font is readable. I don't have to squint to hard to see what's going on. The theme is nice but variation doesn't hurt. If your going to have an award system make sure to let members know what they are, or who won what award when you get it set up. Just my general thoughts, take it with a grain of salt

Alright, thank you very much! I will definitely take your opinion into consideration as I continue to build the site! As for the boards, which was the main thing I got from your review that you didn't like, I will look into different options for the boards, either descriptions, or perhaps shorter images. Again, thank you so very much! EDIT: Lord Eorr I did smaller images in the Hogwarts tab. Are those better? Or should I stick with descriptions instead of images all together?

Hey! Just some thoughts!
1. In my opinion, you should definitely change the width a bit so that it doesn't fill the entire page like it does, and that would help it not look as crowded with both side bars. I don't really know how to explain what I mean, but I feel like my computer screen is super zoomed in while on your page, so adjusting the width would help with that, in my opinion!
2. I like the theme, I think that it all goes together quite well with all of the blue, but maybe have some other skin options available as well!
3. I don't know how I feel about the boards where you click on the different sections (OOC, Extras, Hogwarts, etc) simply because it makes the page really short for it to be broken up in such a way, but really that's just a personal preference on my part. It makes it feel a bit disconnected... if that makes any sense at all.
I definitely think that you should have an affiliates table, it helps a lot with advertising and I would put it under the Forum Information and Statistics. That way it is out of the way if someone doesn't want to look at it, but at least it's there!
4. I do think that this is a good start to your forum! Like you stated, it's a work in progress, but it is looking good so far!

Alright, thank you Morgan! I have made several edits as per your suggestions. And I am working on another theme for others to pick from.

You only bump unless it's 10 days or more. All those bumps are unnecessary and spamming. I suggest you cut down the bumps or I'll call an admin over here.
