Second Forum

[Deleted]

As of now the forum is working but not being used other than a place to showcase my work (theme) and for critiques on functionality and concept. i would like input on the following;

• A) ^ Design
• a1) Flow of the design
• a2) Color Scheme
• a3) your design inputs
  
• B) ^ Functionality
• b1) Does everything work
• b2) Can it be understood
• b3) What functions should be added or changed
  
• C) ^ Concept -Building a ultimate guest friendly advertising forum for proboards
• c1) Is the concept alive in the design
• c2) Is the functionality displayed the concept
• c3) Can the concept be diluted by the design/Functionality
• c4) Modifications to the concept

I think it would be a good idea. It looks simple and effective I think it would do well.

The idea is to make it simple nothing to fancy because its ment to be for the user and their forum. Where a user could go to advertise for free an open account, not even make an account or even a post to advertise all it requires is you to come back and stay active as a guest or a registered member. Guest would be able to plug there 88x31 buttons on the bottom to attract visitors, you return often because your button will eventually fall off the board. Guest could also find members, affiliates, new forums, critiques, reviews, and a place to advertise for free no need to register or linking our page back not even having to submit and wait for approval. Registered members get all the same features with the exception to rate forums posted on the board with a 1 to 5 rating and are able to become a featured forum of the week placing them on the home page, being registered also gives them the opportunity to be placed in a weekly vote to see what other members feel on how they stackup on a top forum vote. Even a head on head battles...

I just feel like I'm missing some stuff.

I really love the banner, it reminds me of the angry bear error proboards gives out when something goes wrong!

<abbr>after reading the tos and talking with a moderator on proboards i found

so basically using the bear is against tos and could lead to legal problems.. back to the drawing board

Its okay I wasn't sure how I would run that board and my other one... I do have another brilliant idea for a forum or atleast a site I may pull up that design for it.

Yeah, you have to be really careful with using images that you've gotten from other sources, those copyright issues can be tricky and it's so easy to violate them.

I think you're better off trying to come up with something unique anyway, right?

Thanks for re-wording it btw.

yea to use the bear it would require a written permission from the copyrighted owner to use it, no other way i.e. credit to the owner, or disclaimer is not acceptable.. as far as unique not really that design was intentionally used. i have an original concept for the site and forum but it requires me to host on my own server and leaving proboards behind in order to maximize its potential so that is what must be done. but first i will focus on my site before taking on that other activity/project
