 Posted: Fri Feb 26, 2010 6:44 pm Post subject: RIGHT! How do I improve my forum site? |
 |
|
What do you think of it the forum site that i've created.
http://aspiesunite.proboards.com
I was on msn to my friend and apparently she had got me feeling pretty down because she said there's something messed up and the site looks pathetic, a whole load of sh** etc.
What the hell has gone wrong with it?
I don't know if its just her or is it the fact that that she could be right.
I leave it for you to judge... because i've just gotten pissed off that I can't make it look and seem interesting! 
(P.s: I was pissed off while I was typing this)

Nothing WRONG with it. Somethings could be improved though. The contrast of the colors is pretty glaring for instance. Tone their saturation down a bit and they could work.
I really like the aspies unite graphic. Thats great.

| Has it been toned down already? I actually quite like the way it looks now. The only thing that doesn't look right to me is the color of Daddy_M.A.K and calico. |

Thanks I've just been tweaking with the settings and everything...... By tomorrow, I'll hopefully be putting up some new icons instead of the proboards ones, (which looks pretty bland).
Although it needs advertising and a new domain name which I will do later if I think the site is good enough.

I think the colors might be a bit too dark, which causes the contrast to be too high.
Try a brighter blue and a brighter green (not trying to make WrongPlanet look-a-like here!). (Especially a brighter blue)
I just have an idea that it might seem more welcoming and comfortable that way. But I really like the dark background! 
Oh... and there's a contrast problem more...
NT/AS Discussion -> Click a subject -> Click browser back
Notice that the blue "visited-link" doesn't work on the green background.
Overall I think it looks really nice. |

Okay.... Right... I've done another few tweaks to the colour and doesn't look so deadly bright anymore..

Your forum is cool Superboyian! I like the dark colors and have always disliked bright light websites...
I really hope many will join and make it a friendly place for you and your friends.
I would join if I just got time but I dont even have time for WP now because Im about to move.
So the little computertime I could get at all have to go to YouTube at the moment

Thanks Fuzzy.. It is now ready for use.. First of all, i'm trying to figure out how to get a custom domain with godaddy.com...
I shall have the name www.aspiesunite.com instead of aspiesunite.proboards.com, it just seems to long typing it and it could just be pretty forgettable aswell.

I found www.nearlyfreespeech.net to be much more in tune with what I admire.
