Hi, we've recently redesigned our forum, basically we improved upon the skin we had, members have had positive feedback and are very happy with the update. I'd like feedback on anything and everything, whatever you're willing to review, thanks!

The design is beautiful, the colours are great and the small touches and original little elements make it really stand out. Very nice.

WOW! It looks awesome! Very appealing! Great Job!

I couldn't really notice much modifications on first glance so can't say too much about this.

The guest message is elegant and noticeable but doesn't stick out like a sore thumb. It goes very well with the layout and blends in nicely but can't be overlooked. Great job on this!

I'm not sure which user color is administrators, there's no legend telling what color is what. Also, your announcements and rules seem to be at the bottom. My personal preference is to have these at the top so it's always easily found first thing. I know you have a rules link but people may not click that.

The forum seems well organized and flows nicely with the forums. I don't understand some of the sub forums. You have a Work at Home forum and then a sub forum for work at home... what's the purpose of that?

**Colleen** · 02-09-2008, 08:20 PM

Thanks everyone!

mh0825, that's a "work at home moms" sub forum within the "work at home" forum. We have several mom's on board, but then the dad's were posting in it, lol! So we made a general forum for it and put the mom's forum inside it.

**mh0825** · 02-09-2008, 08:22 PM

Gotcha... is there enough posts to separate them? Does it say Moms? I didn't see that if it did.

**Colleen** · 02-09-2008, 08:27 PM

"WAHM" is a popular search term so we just left it like that. When you go inside that forum, it's description is there at the top "For work at home mom's to discuss working at home with the kids underfoot and balancing life and work!"

Good question about the posts, I guess it could be merged into the main work at home forum, it's just like that cause it originally was the main forum for that part.

Very first impression is good, nice colours and site is not to 'busy' flashing lights and icons etc. Your topic catagories are set out well as well and judging by the numbers online at this moment you could have a success on your hands, Nice one!
