Description: Hey All, new forum is up and running. We are working on filling it up and all that fun stuff that goes along with starting a new forum. We got some mods

• Added a php banner rotator to the header image so the background changes now and then.
• Got a custom template running that i customized a bit more, it also has a matching light template that can be selected in the footer.
• Got the forum home tabs to break up the sections a bit and keep things organized.
• Got the "staff online" side block.
• Q and A forum has the yahoo answer clone mod on it.
• Player profile section has the vB form add-on for uniformity when creating your thread in there.
• Has the tournament/competition add-on installed that we will be using a lot once setup.
• Has the award system in place, working on creating some more awards...both forum and game based.
• Chatbox is installed and placed under the forum list.
• SEO mods tweaked a bit.
• Decent amount of spam prevention installed.
• Post thank you hack, postbit collapser, and clean/custom postbit format.

Let me know what you guys think!

 

I think it looks very good. I have never been a fan of dark backgrounds, but in this case you seem to have got it looking good.

It comes across as very neat and clear. Nice work.

 

Look again, at the bottom of the screen , left hand side

Looking good, I can see you've put a lot of work into it. I hope it's a success for you

 

Thanks guys, I just added vbadvanced homepage and am setting that up now.

 

Sneaky. It still looks good in white as well.

Obviously a lot of work has gone into this and it was worth it.

 

Thanks guys, I just added some more stuff to the homepage, slideshow, forum icons, etc.

 

Having issues getting people to sign up...waaaa

 

I know that feeling, the ones that do never post either.

 

I just redid the header image coding on the site. I had a image rotator and a ton of images, weapons, game specific headers like halo, call of duty, etc.

it dawned on me that if a new visitor hit the site and the rotator threw up for example a Halo image, it might turn people who dont like halo off.

so i edited the css, broke out the game specific images into their own image folders, and put some conditional statements into the header template so now.... when you go to the site it only rotates the weapon headers, unless you go to for example the Call of Duty forums or threads, it will show that games specific header (and it still rotates through a few options.)

 

Nice job. Love the theme and layout. What version of vB are you using?

 

thank you Autopilot.

right now, 4.2.0pl2

 

The site looks excellent Chase, the design is really appealing and professional. Great work, good luck with your forum, I hope you get those sign-ups you are looking for.
