Hi,

I got bored of our homepage looking outdated so I gave it a makeover. Let me know what you think!

I kind of wish you had a before picture so I can make a direct comparison however, the current layout I must say looks really clean. Great work!

I do not dislike the old or the new, I like both 🙂 Should keep them both and with a theme selector option for members to either choice what theme they like 🙂

I'm not a fan of the new look, it's very white & grey without much character in my opinion. I'd like to see more colour or overal design to it personally but that's just me anyway.

I got to agree. Could have not said it better than this.

Can you make some suggestions and I’ll look into implementing them. Like in what places do you feel needs more colour? Is it a case of changing the colour in that area or adding something there? Give me a little more and I’ll see what I can do! I’m always taking on any suggestion.

Just as above. Any suggestions that can help would be appreciated! I’ll take it all on board.

I don’t typically dig these non-traditional forum designs (like with the menu being on the side), but I really like this. It’s very modern and clean. I like the different color menu buttons on the side, and the rounded side tables on the other side. It’s excellent all around.

I'd suggest adding more colour to the site. There's loads of white and grey mixed together which is hard to tell apart. Plus the padding around the content and the sidebar is different and is sort of off putting really.

Lastly I'd suggest changing the header as it's dark grey and doesn't really fit with the rest of the site.

Just my own opinion, don't feel compelled to change anything, but it's not really my thing.

It is a light theme but I get that it might be too light. I'll see what I can do with the colours. Although, just to let you know, we do have a dark theme too which is selectable via the side navigation.

Changes made:

1. I've changed the padding for the content and sidebar so they're both the same. Can you kindly confirm?
2. I didn't notice the dark grey header until you pointed it out. I think I've fixed it now so it's consistent throughout. Can you kindly confirm?

Honestly, I love hearing people's thoughts, that's one of the reason why I post threads like these is to get people's thoughts and always consider the changes providing they're reasonable.

Happy to take anymore suggestions, love the specific ones so I know what I can change etc.

Just a little update, some adjustments have been made to keep consistency throughout the forum. Thanks to some people's suggestions from on here and XenForo!

I’ve made changes to the footer so it looks a lot more modern.
