Hello herman3,

I would like to give you a review, but I am afraid it will likely be shorter than my normal. My routine review goes over first impressions, board layout, content, and rules. As I can only read English and German, I am afraid the last two parts of a routine review will be missing. Still I hope I can offer you some help. So let's get started.


First Impressions:                               
Actually your forum doesn't look like EVERY other forum out there. Still, it looks a little plain and I don't know what it's about at all.


Color Scheme:                                   
I like the blue theme! It's very nice. Unfortunately, it doesn't tell me much about the purpose of your forum. Perhaps it would be more useful and add a little pizzazz to your forum to have a few actually images cycling through your forum banner. With images, you could offer visitors an immediate impression of your overall forum topic. I think a background image would also add a good deal to the look.


Layout:                                           
While I like your theme, I feel your layout could use something to break up the monotony of straight boards. I would recommend a sidebar. You could easily include this through the Sidebar Redux plugin. It would be your choice what you include on the side. I would suggest important links, perhaps hot topics, an introduction to your forum, or even an image or two.

I like the icons you are using. Having the circles around them almost makes them seem cute.

Even though I can't really comment on the organization of your boards, I want to say that like how most of your categories don't have an overwhelming number of categories. That being said, I think your first category "Jamii Boards" should be either broken into two or use some sub-boards rather than boards if you can. I'm not a fan of having too many boards in a category especially for a new forum. However, it is good that nearly all of the boards have something posted.

One organization tip I can give would be to suggest you move your "New Members" category to the top so that visitors and potential new members see this first. Your rules and forum overview should also be found in this category.


Overall:                                           
While I wish I could offer you more, I hope that something I've said helps. Your forum looks very clean and this could be welcoming to new members.

I wish you all the best with your forum!

Hi, herman3

As per the rules of this board:

3i) Forums MUST be open to guests. This means "guest must log in" or "maintenance mode" must not be activated. Having closed-off sections are OK, provided we can see the forum as a whole.
