Topic: Site Design

I am not much of a designer myself but I was thinking about trying to create a fresher design for this forum.

I personally like how clear and easy it is to read posts so I don't think I would change that but maybe the header could be changed.

What do you all think about it?

Re: Site Design

would  it  be  possible to have threads you are participating in coming up first ( new posts at the top )or would that
be too complicated....thats what i would add ...everything else is fine

Re: Site Design

I will have to think about that one. It will be possible but it may be outside of my coding capabilities!

Re: Site Design

Forums tend to be pretty pedestrian graphically as a rule. Nothing wrong with a tweak, of course, but I wouldn't spend too much time on it unless you have a strong idea.

I might suggest a more distinctive name, something to set it apart for a new visitor, more than the simple "Guitar Forums" does now. Maybe bring over your logo from the main site, and title it "Olly's Guitar Forums" or the like.

Re: Site Design

Hey good to see you.

I did consider your idea. The main reason for the current simple name is for seo purposes as it is best to try and rank well for guitar forums as this seems to be what people search on.

Re: Site Design

I'd certainly keep "guitar forums" in the name for that very reason, just add to it a little. Have you checked out the other music and guitar forums, to seek inspiration?

Re: Site Design

I would be nice to show if we had posted in the thread. Something where it shows we posted in this thread.

I would add more funny smily's . Check out some of the other forums and see what they are using.

I really like the color tone you are using on this one. Easy on the eyes.

You added the chat, which is nice.
