I made a massive improvement to my site. What needs to be improved etc.? I see nobody doing anything on my site except posting in the guestbook.

I'm talking about http://grabacontroller.com above.

I updated the forum. Tell me what needs to be done and what improvements I need to do. I was wondering if I got too many boards etc. Do I need a portal? Do I need to talk about more stuff etc. ?What is the best method to get the message accross so that people know about this?

By the way, its [not hosted here]

Thanks.

Hey,

For your gamerforum.us website this is what I recommend:
1. Change the style. Why? Because it is a little acqared and rather BIG. (if you get what I mean). And no you do not have to many boards, on my site, I have more then 40 FORUMs, well at least on my site being developed I will have.
2. A portal if you can program one to integrate into phpBB would be nice maybe. Depends if you want one or not.

Would you like me to post more?

ya i understand what you mean. The forum is rather big compared to yours. Also, I need to phase out the bravenet service because it costs me $40/year for the 200 link script and its not worth it. I do have great links but i can make a links page easily and probaly intergrate the ratings really easily. I should probaly put more effort by adding more stuff for the gallery too. I should change the color for the cutenews. Maybe white perhaps. Also seperating the affliates is a good idea too.

Thanks for the input. This is what I needed. :)

I like your site a lot, I see that you have added a link to my site on their, would you like to affilliate with me? If you could tell me the URL to your 88x33 image (if you have one, if not I could make one for you, just tell me what you want it to say and PM me) and I will add it to my site :)

I changed http://grabacontroller.com to an older template and I'm thinking that I'm going to keep it this way.

Also, http://gamerforum.us is going to look like it did before because I think its the best way to do it.

I think I'll keep things the way it is on http://gamerforum.us because changing things all the time isn't good.

I did a major update but.... http://gamerforum.us redirects you to the forum on http://grabacontroller.com. Also, http://grabacontroller.com has been revamped and I think your going to be impressed. :D I'll add more content. Don't worry. :)

I got rid of hosting with 100webspace for a bit but I got tired of ads. So, I came back. :) I just want you guys to comment on the design and layout of the site and forum. Do you like it? I know. I need some games content/reviews but the site is loaded with features. :) I do like the other stuff although its not scripted on my site. :)

http://grabacontroller.com :)

Anyone have any comments about my site? I got a new logo, I got new skins, avatars, and cool stuff. Also, check out the super cool links database. Please come and have a boat load of fun. :)

Greetings,

Ok. I have a couple of opions. I like the design, but I was really impressed about the site until I scrolled down more into the footer. Then I saw that 'MX Portal' or something like that.... :( :( You should try creating your own portal around a forum system if you are using a forum. :D

If you are going to use phpBB, I can help you here! :D

Sorry, I can't code PHP if my life depended on it. lol :)

I know how to install PHP scripts, make web sites, and do other stuff but PHP doesn't come into my brain easily. I wish it did but maybe I just need to practice. :)

Also, I'm using a Simple Machines Forum, you can get it at http://simplemachines.org

It has child boards and the scripts can be installed without using FTP or using the 100webspace control panel. Also, you can install avatars and themes this way too.

MK Portal is better than PHP Nuke but not used very often unfortunately. You can use VBullitin, Invision Power Board, SMF, and PHPBB on it. :)

Greetings,

Well in my opinion, phpBB is the better of all bulletin boards. Why? Well because one it is free. Second it is open source. Third hundreds of MODs and Styles. And Fourth, there is too much to list, so I will leave it as is! :D :wink:

SMF is free and open source but it doesn't have as many mods and styles. It doesn't have as much support but its good.
