Hello there. I'll do my best to give you an honest review. I'm not a huge fan of long drawn out reviews, so I'll try and keep this short, sweet and to the point. If you have any questions, comments or concerns I'll do my best to respond to those too.
I'll break down my review by sections in which I find important. This is only my opinion, I'm no one special so please don't take offence (it's not intended) or take my opinion as any kind of expert opinion.
The very first impression I have:Is this even a Proboard?! This forum looks smooth, Im a fan.
Above the adds:I had to make this a special area I covered due to the layout. I LOVE this forum wrapper and how it all blends together. The bar that floats at the top of the page not only looks good at the top of the forum as the page loads, but also as you navigate the forum. I rarely see that work both ways so perfectly. The features it incorporates are also good.
The banner itself is great too, I can tell work was put into the graphic design but it isn't overly complicated. The buttons to the right are simple and go with the banner, I love the mouseover effect on these.
Usually News bars look bad, or cluttered. They this blends into the wrapper works great. So far my only complaint is that on my side the text overlaps. The scrolling text goes too far to the left and is hidden by the "News" title. I can't read the beginning of the news. The start of the incoming news also shows on the right side from where it scrolls in.
You have just enough information in the header. It's everything I need without being too much.
Boards:Love the board layout. It's simple, it's organized, it has labels for the right things and you didn't cram everything in one space.
Custom icons for each topic and member avatars for the recent is a nice touch. You also don't have an overwhelming amount of boards. It's easy to get through your content.
Infocenter:Love the way you have the color contrast with the info center and header the same color and the boards different. The classic look with minimal images looks great. Love how the layout matches your boards. Consistent look.
Misc/extra features:That toggle for day and night mode is epic. Probably my favorite on this forum and on any forum ive seen. Usually content that floats become frustrating as they block content. This flows well and the function is great.
Overall:I have few complainants. I love the simple look with custom design. I find simple and lee look better but I also want custom features and design that sticks out. You check all the boxes. I recommend an affiliates section on your forum to help boost your views. I wont recommend a way to add it because how ever your forum would add it would look epic.
I wish you and your forum the best. I wish I were more diverse in gaming.
