Looks nice. Is it a new site? I take it is a design forum of some sort?

colourfull
Don't want to know what happens when you have to upgrade with all the hacks you installed

on frontpage the clock is not very easy to read with grey on black when you have a lot of light in the room

I'm not a fan of dark themes though with my own preference aside it's very nice. However, I'm not to sure the colour of the text on the .tcat suits, the text colour feels a little inconsistent. Green imo doesn't really go to well and I would suggest you opt for another colour.

The forum status markers don't suit and I would personally change them and go with something that compliments the site a little better. I also noticed you have the vbulletin stock redirect forum status icon showing, and I would also suggest you go with something custom.

The logo looks very nice and I have to say I'm prity impressed with it. nice job.

Goodluck with your site.

I think that site kicks ass... great scheme and logo. And that Clock/Calendar is awesome!!

I noticed you also some cool games I need to find in your arcade!!

Cool clock! But, I also had a hard time reading the numbers with low light on. Had to shade it to see it.

nice site, I don't really care for vba all together, but I like your site overall

I signed up and added my site to your top sites list, and made a thread..heh

Thanks for the replies.

Not to sure on how to change the clock's colors.. looks good in the other styles though.

@shelly, I understood about half of what you said.. Care to go into a little more detail?
@Loco, i noticed and have signed up at your site as well.
@Code Monkey, Yes its a design site. The Designers mainly make sigs and avatars, but they also do tutorials and help train up and coming designers who want to learn.

Those are the best sites

I have installed a new style from - GFXstyles. A nice Halloween style, which i may keep around afterwards.

I think it looks good, What are your thoughts?

Code Monkey · 10-25-2006, 12:51 AM

Looks good. Has the darkness effect down good.

Black Cobra · 10-25-2006, 01:00 AM

and its not bright orange

Code Monkey · 10-25-2006, 01:02 AM

Well, I like orange. And orange is a traditional Halloween color.

Santai is my mate...

He designed my first original style and that was enough for him. He started GFXStyles right after.

I have that Halloween Style too. Just haven't loaded it yet.

Black Cobra · 10-26-2006, 12:01 AM

I plan on changing the banner, might even make it a permanant feature

G_Man · 10-26-2006, 06:37 AM

Sounds good. I like it.

Black Cobra · 10-26-2006, 09:26 PM

OK I am going to finally do it....

I am going to get vBulletin Search Engine Optimization

with credits to vbmodder..

Code Monkey · 10-26-2006, 09:32 PM

I understand the feeling. I thought very long and hard about it. Now I wish I could afford it on some other sites I have.

If you have a lot of posts already then you need to be patient. A good Search Engine Optimization site will actually have less SERP's since the duplicate page issue goes away. And that, believe it or not is a good thing.

Post a thread in the modifications discusion forum and you will get all the help you need.
