For the forums, it's rather inconvenient to scroll down to go back to a certain section. I'm used to having the links at the top. Like...

One thing I hate about the forums is that you have to scroll down to the bottom of the page to get to the "mark all posts read" link ....

That should probably go at the top :x

1. Old forums still visible? 2. Spelling error? 3. 404 page

Postby pcweirdo on Thu Apr 27, 2006 2:31 pm

Hi there,

1. If I go to http://phoenix-hosting.org/index.php, I get what looks like old forums, but I guess some files are gone so a bunch of errors occur.

2. Also, on http://phoenix-network.org/pages/docume ... ing-on.php someone has written "respondsible" where perhaps it should be "responsible". Just a guess though.

I just noticed that on the forums, there is a status called "Contributer". Should this be "Contributor"?

3. The 404 page seems bland and certainly doesn't match the colourscheme of the rest of the website. Perhaps a grey background and a picture of a feather would be nice. While a beautiful 404 page is hardly essential, it might help if a newcomer follows an old link and the 404 page is the first thing they see of Phoenix Network.

Keep up the good work!

Hi again,

The "Forums" link on http://phoenix-network.org points to , which is an ad for your new business or something.

The forums and website need a bit more color and some more graphics to them to become more attractive.

i think the web site and forums are fine. might consider changing to being fully css themed and giving at least a light and a dark theme (the present theme and an inverted theme)

Hmm, no logo on the main page? Only text?

Looking at it like someone who is encountering it for the first time, it reminds me of those fake webpages that domain parking companies use. You know what I'm talking about, right?

As for the forums... is there a way to have a quick reply box like in VBulletin? It's a box at the bottom of the thread where you can type the reply without having to hit an extra "Reply" button to take you to a separate page. It's very convenient. It's been awhile since I've last used phpbb2, so I forget if this option is available.

Also, the default theme is a little blah. At the top of the page, the "Search", "Memberlist", "Usergroups", etc. don't look too separated. It just doesn't look right to my eyes.

Please install more themes, too! I'm not fond of this gray one. It's good for the default skin, since it matches the simplicity of the website, but I dislike it for usage.

hmm.. the site is fine.. it loads fast and looks neat.. maybe a little change would do.. adding a better looking logo would be nice.. maybe just that..

yes, that and "view new posts" and "view your posts" should be up on the top of the page, right when you just logged in, for everytime I logged in I went straight for the new posts since the last visit.

Cheers! and keep up the good work! Very Happy

Personally I love the site, its simple and sexy. Colour scheme works really well, nice ammount of white space, no unessecary graphics. Great job.
