Do you have a forum for each active member

Just joking, review coming soon after I finish these other three

 

If you want a log in PM me

No rush, just getting in the queue...

 

And here we go

Style:

first thing I notice was the popup box that follows you every where. It covered the logo, so I suggest perhaps moving this to the bottom, instead of the top.

the status icons seem to have a jagged edge around them.

The colors of the style are good, and provide a nice easy to read site.

I think your site is about the Mini-Cooper car series? But I don't really see to much incorporated into the style to support that.

=============================

there seems to be a lot of forums. I didn't inspect each one to see the activity levels or anything of the sorts, but if you can condense them down some to put the site's main focus into perspective a little easier I think it could go a long way in reducing the overall "busy" feel of the site

==========================

When I get to the site, (If I didn't know you, or the purpose of the site) I would be completely lost on its target. A welcome message of some sort could help inform guests and potential members of the exact topic at hand?

==========================

Your garage modification is great, and a perfect addition to the site. Really helps it out and seems to be used and loved by the members as well.

===========================

The recent garage entries (pictures or whatever) block at the top, doesn't link to the SEO version of the garage page (ex: ddminikc's Garage :: Snidley, then redirects to the SEO'd version). I suggest making those links directly to the SEO version if possible.

Other than that, great site! Hopefully you've found the review helpful and it can improve your site to be even better!

 

David,

Thanks for taking the time to review the site. I'll be looking at incorporating your suggestions as I continue to improve the site.

 

Your mini site looks good. The initial page is a little too much information I suspect for peopele who aren't accustomed to forums. But overall very good with good content!
