I would really appreciate it if I could get a little feedback on my new forum. Fake Plastic Trees. This is a High School roleplay that I just created. I am not finished with everything, and I plan on posting a few requests for it, but I would appreciate and feedback that you can give me at this point. This is the first time that I have ever made a forum before, so I didn't exactly know what I was getting into. I am really proud of it, but I am sure that you can find some things that I can try to fix. If you need me to post anything else, I will do so. I know you don't want it to appear like an advertisement. ~Benji |

Overall a nice colour scheme. Banner could do with a 1px border. I really can't rate the skin as it is a premade or made for you. The copyright bar to too long for the image on it. Some content would make it nice. The menu buttons could be a bit larger. As I said you can't really rate the skin unless it is made by someone from the site.

Ya, I understand that. I just wanted a little bit of feedback on the site in it's entirety. I think it needs a background though, but that is hard to come by....oh well. Thanks for your input!

Well, considering the skin was made specifically for his forum, I don't see what it can't be rated.
But building off what Ookie said, I do suggest using sub-boards. A big turnoff with rp forums is how overwhelming and chaotic it is to see and scroll through 30-some boards on one page. Makes it seem like there's no organization.

Ya, my problem with that is the fact that my sub-boards cannot have sub-boards, so I would end up with even more sub-boards then needed. I do agree that it is very hard to scroll through them all. I will play around with the idea of making some of the longer ones into sub-forums though. Thanks for the input!

Yeah, that can be difficult. We've had a time trying to organize the boards here. ProBoards v4.5 is coming out soon, though. And that'll support sub-sub-boards.

Oh cool! I will definitely fix that little problem once that update comes out. I put about 6 or 7 boards as sub-boards, so it loosened up a little more room. Hopefully I can do more when the update is out. Thanks for the info!

Nice color scheme. Your grads could use a little depth though. Maybe a pixel bevel?
And did you get the name of your forum from the Radiohead song?

=P
Ya, that is my Favorite Radiohead song. Once I heard it when I was trying to figure out the name, I just couldn't pass it up. I love Radiohead.
As for the gradients thing, I don't have the ability nor the knowledge to change those. Seeing as though I know very little about graphics. In fact, I don't exactly know what you meant.
