Layout(graphics)

Well, off to a nice start there, jarsniper. I could see that your menu buttons are from the Premade Graphics Database of Proboards Support, yes? So, however, I'd suggest you make one, but, having a Premade picture is alright, I just hope you hosted it yourself. Your background is nicely done, but, I do suggest fixing it so it won't scroll, and also, I suggest that it matches the board skin, which is currently black. You might want to get some On/Off icons that could brighten up your forum. And also some icons for the Info Center. That should get is better. ^^ But, however, I also suggest a banner, which would look nice on the forums on the center itself.

Boards

I have to hand it to you, seems like you did a lot of work on it, which I don't know whether you did or did not. But, anyways, I suggest that you make some boards more descriptive, and check on their missing Punctuation marks. Some are missing, you know. The boards fit perfectly well under their category. Yes, well, I guess that's all I'm going to suggest for now. Good luck on it.

Codings

You have a done a wonderful job on the codings, I'd say. Removing the 'Mark As Read' bar is a good choice, and centering the forum name is also one of them. The dividing categories code is working perfectly well, so, good job on finding those codes, jarsniper! Your welcome table looks nice, with the affiliates in the center, and the staff on the other, but I do suggest you put some text on the left part of the welcome table, jarsniper. But, I have no suggested or recommended codes for now, so, keep up the goob job!

Skin

The skin, I must say, is looking good. Black and Blue skins are often seen, and I think yours is nice, and could use some improvements. And, of course, I hope you know that nothing is perfect. No one is perfect. For your skin, I could do some improvements, but I'll handle that to you, jarsniper. Improvements makes the better! But, anyways, all I suggest, is try more of a... wintery skin. Something involving white in the skin, or just a banner for the Christmas Season. ;D

Well, that's my rate for now, jarsniper. Hope you have a good time and a good luck during this Christmas Season! ;D

Thanks a lot! The graphics and skin, I know a little blah. But this is the first site I have made that I have used any coding at all. This is the first board I made.thelostrealms.proboards40.com And it didn't do bad IMO.

I actually just requested a banner, just trying to figure out how to get it up there. I planned on moving the menu buttons down under that table, good idea?

[SilversunHolly]

It looks good, but, you might want to move the advertisement on top of the banner? It looks more sloppy down there with the ad. So, probably... I'd say it's your choice. Good job on the forum, jarsniper!

[jarsniper]

Im sorry, Im a little confused. Adverstisement? I honsetly dont see one heh

[SilversunHolly]

Ad is the thing below your buttons. The one shaped rectangularly. Sometimes it advertises the ProBoards websites, sometimes other things. And it's the one on top of your welcome table. You could move your banner below the ad. It would look better, I'd say. ;D

[jarsniper]

I honestly dont see any ads in there =/ Is there a reason I can't see it? I have 2 computers I use here and no ads show up on either one.

[SilversunHolly]

Alright... but, I guess, I suggest you put this code in.

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
/* Move Banner Below Ads */
document.write("<div id='welcometable'></div>")
var wTable = document.getElementsByTagName("TABLE")[0]
wTable.parentNode.removeChild(wTable)
wTable.style.marginTop="25px"
document.body.replaceChild(wTable,document.getElementById('welcometable'))
//-->
</script>

Global Headers. No editing required. ^^

Graphics
You have a banner and affiliate button. That's good. I suggest you get some gradients and head and base images. You also should get some custom icons. Our graphics team can help with all of that.

Rate: 6/10

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Boards/categories
You have quite a few boards and categories. Most of them are full, but a few still have the zero's. Either get of the zero's by posting, or use a code. I suggest you make the descriptions a bit longer.

Rate: 7/10

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Skin
The skin is good and I'm guessing its you made it. I know you have a backround, but a proper image or picture would do better. So would more colours. The black is dull and most of the site is black and white. I suggest you add a bit more colour into it otherwise members will go away.

Rate: 6/10

Overall
OK, so I like the site, but it needs a bit of work, so like most of the rates I gave you.

Rate: 6/10

Keep working on the site! Oh and have fun with it!

[jarsniper]

Silver, do you mean the affiliate area? I put that code in and it moved my banner underneath my Welcome Table.
