| | BANDA Review | |
You may remember me talking about BANDA being reviewed? What they said is below - I am very pleased about this .. but as you'll see there a couple of things he suggests to improve BANDA further....so don't be surprised if I do a teensy bit more tinkering! Babies and All Forum Activity - Rating: GoodSo analyzing the activity of the forum on the index, I think that the forum was kinda having a good activity but not really well shown to the guests since you have a lot of forums, most of the new posts got split up and so most forums also shows no new post so that's why I'm suggesting you to hide the sub forums under the forums and so to combine their total amount of posts, but seeing your 'latest topic' widget, I see that you have a lot of activity going on to the forum, so nice work there, the total amount of posts is also impressive, nice work, the users activity is also awesome, there are lots of members that are logging within each period and there are also lots of members online while I'm reviewing the forum, so nice work! Originality & Unique Quality - Rating: GoodSo as I'd mentioned above, the forum topic you're having is quite unique and original, in which there are only some forums having this kind of forum... so all onto that, you also have good activity... so nice work on this aspect too. Graphics & Layout - Rating: GoodOk, my first impression about the graphics of your forum when I entered for the 2nd time since the last review is great, I think your graphics aspect of the forum improved a bit and the look of the forum from the index view looks great and improved too because of the improved graphics, and it looks great that you improved on this aspect as I suggested from the last review.
So let's get started with the review, starting with the major graphics particularly with the banner, you still had the same banner but it looks great for the forum so even if you didn't change this one, the banner's still brilliant for the forum as it is as it really gives the importance and subject of the forum for the guests, so nice work with the rotating/changing banner, now, the navigation bars improved as well because your previous ones were default, but now you're having a great set that blends with the Color scheme of the forum and which definitely looks professional, although there are 2 navigation bars that doesn't go with the look of others, the 'Register', 'Log in' and 'Log out' navigation bars has different and awful fonts, or the font doesn't look good for me, You can still improve this aspect by picking a more looking professional fonts for this navigation bar. The forum icons ( New post, No new post & Forum is locked ) are also looking good now, they also blend with the color scheme of the forum which definitely look professional but not the best yet for your forum, I mean you can still find more looking great icons that can fit on the forum icons better, but still great work here, there's no 'Who is online?' icon.
The lay out of the forum is still the same, I still suggest you to hide the sub-forums as it doesn't really look good with them shown on the index.
