A Heads Up

I wish the forumotion support forums had a place where you could get feedback. The only thing they have is a review your forum thing.

And they don't even really help tell you what to do or what could be done. They either say its good or sucks.

maybe if you get a different person they'll be more in depth?

To review my forum? I suppose I could, but I'd rather them have some type of category where people can post and get answers. That would be so much easier and helpful if you ask me.

yes it would. but as Scar says in the Lion King, we're surrounded by idiots :p

Does Scar have a book? I must read on his philosophy :P

Unfortunately he was mauled by hyenas before he could complete it.

Tweaking the forum a little. The recent topic widget is in the portal section. It always looked ugly smacked here. Going to work on the layout and see if I like it better afterwords instead of changing the colors constantly.

awww but that widget was so helpful on the main page :O

It's not the main page anymore :P

Go check your favorites or wherever you store the link.

oh....but still! XD

I had a realization. I could direct links to our portal. It was then that I thought, hey people probably want to see some content before checking our site out.

The different categories are organized nicely sure, but they'd still need to go through all of them to see what was written. Here they can see a sample of our forum.

Still working on it. I think we need a nice background wallpaper (that's the borders) which isn't dull or too gaudy...got any ideas?

Also I think we need some different colors that are more engaging. If they are blue sure whatever, they just seem a tad dull right now.

I feel like the most successful websites have a single color as the background.

Not for these forums LS, they operate differently. Or so I've noticed. Anyway can you provide me a list of links to the ones your referring to?

dA (i know its not forum but...whatever :p)

this other website that i used to go on that was pretty popular but then died

i dont remember the rest that i looked at.

So what would you say we should approach our colors with? It helps to look at some of them, but we need to think what colors we should use.

ive already said what color i like :p i cant help but to be completely biased when it comes to colors.

What kind of blue then? Dark, light, powder ect?

i personally like light blue.

Like these colors or no?

like these colors. but i know you dont necessarily like them. but i cant help it! i like the light blue.

No I'm fine with them...maybe. I don't know, I can't put my finger on what exactly I dislike. It's not like something I completely hate, but there feels like something is unfinished. What do you think the majority would like?

i have no idea what the majority would like.

i think they would like either a blue, green, red, or tan scheme and whatever color scheme you choose should follow the name of the site. basically, it should be something that matches one of the four elements.

itd be kind of cool if we could somehow get it where the Earth Kingdom pages are green, the FN ones are red, etc.

I don't know about the different colors, that would be too much I think. We'd need to settle for one color only or palette. I've seen a lot of people do that black and darker blue forum layout, like the one link you've provided.

yeah, i just tend to not like darker colors. but thats just me.

Why is that? These colors seem a bit more intense on the eyes if you ask me. When I check out the other forums they're not as intense and more calm. Even though they have darker colors. Maybe that detracts guests?
