I personally like the light blue scheme... a light green would probably be cool too.

Test49,

I like the way you think, those ideas are awsome.

The one thing that does bug me alot is those  can/can't sentences at the bottom.

Another thing that kind of bugs me a little, when you click on a topic, on the upper left part, it has the  "  Show topics  [From the last month] "

I think that should be moved below all the topics. That part should be made just to manuver arround the forums, showing the link to the main forum, subsequent forums. It just seems to get in the way a bit.

This is just a suggestion, I love these forums, and I am gathering donations to send to you via paypal. So far, i got 5 bucks in there that I started out with  :)

OK.. now that I have read some others responses, I might have changed my mind on the color I chose.   

since you are trying to fit it in with the rest of your site.  which only makes since.. the purple/blue (although I liked the look/color) doesn't really 'go' with the greens/grays you already have..

could you go a bit darker on the green, more to match your header? 

and I think the 'graph' background might be a little to busy?!  how bout a lighter gray? 

somewhere (Lord only knows where) but someone posted a color wheel (I think they were color blind? does that ring any bells?)  but I am so bad with colors and combining, if you had something that tells you what colors best go with the ones you already have. 

like the scroll bars here are blues and that kinda clashes with the greens..

boy, glad I went with basic blues..   I understand wanting to update and change.. but this would be hard! 

 

also.. I am wondering, many have said they don't like the

can't you just edit that out of the code?  It just seems easy to me to get rid of that?!  maybe I am being to "simple minded"   (BTW, it's not my favorite thing either, would do without it if I had could, just never really tried to do anything with it yet)

7.5 sounds excellent, and maybe the following is already changed over the modded 7.01 I'm using, but:

When going to PM, I'd find it more helpful to be taken directly to the inbox, not the "welcome" page.

Normally I go to the PM pages because the JS popup tells me I have new messages - at this point I want to read them as quickly as possible; I don't need to be told what I can do with PM. If I'm writing PM's, they're normally in response to one I've received (ie, I started at the inbox and opened it) or in response to a forum post (ie, I click on the button under the post).

If I do want to start a new message from the PM area, or view the outbox, then obviously I can do this as quickly from the inbox as from the welcome page.

The welcome page is handy for info the first time a user uses PM, so keep it, just have it linked (as per inbox, outbox, buddy list and new message buttons) from the other PM pages, maybe call it "About PM".

A simple tweak to accelerate things - or am I just impatient?


PS. Can anyone point me at a decent "slap" smiley?

feature suggestion...

if it's possible, make it so that the ability to have a signature is dependent on user group. for example a normal ladder usergroup should not be able to write a signature in their forum profile that would display with every post. of course the admin should be able to enable or disable it for a specific usergroup.

Please look at both forums and vote on which one you would prefer to see as the default skin for Web Wiz Forums.

Also if you could test this forum while you are there and report any bugs.

They both run off the same Access database so if you post in one it will show in both beta forums.

Version 7.5 is planned for release by the end of September, unless and bugs come to light or anyone gives any good suggestions that don't require database changes.

Good luck with that!!!  LOL

Well, most sites use black text on a white background in some way, but as far as other colors go....

BTW, I don't see active users in the demo.
