Let's Play "Let's Rip Apart Dashing"

[fantanoice]

I see a lot of other members are doing it, so I'll just on the bandwagon. Basically, rip apart Dashing and tell me all the little nitpicks you have about it.

http://www.dashing.co.nr

Things I know I need to improve and things that would likely improve the site:
- Better banner for the Acerbic skin (and perhaps revamped ones on the other skins)
- Possibly a lighter skin for the default (only using the dark one because the other skins are getting their 'revamps'). I'll likely use the Acerbic skin once a better banner is done.
- A domain, which I will likely get once I set up my Paypal and get paid.
- Some new 'new post' markers on the Ex Ivion and Moving Up skins along 'new forum post' images for the Moving Up skin.

If you have any other particular pet peeves about it, let it rip here. If you have any suggestions, put them here as well. Give me a rating out of 100 if you like.


Also, just a note, the 'Just For Fun' category actually has a spam board in there as well, it's just hidden to guests so you can only see the forum games. As if I wouldn't have a category with one forum in it. :3

*Bump*

No nitpicks from anybody? º–º I would really like some feedback, in some respect.

Adverts.
Redirecting domain fail. Use co.cc if it has to be free.
Why is the mature discussion forum named after a Gwen Stefani song?
You probably know what I think about free forums.
The header is way too big, but admittedly not as bad as this: http://clubpenguinplanet.net/forum.htm
I clicked on a link that said Facebook and it was empty. And THEN it redirects.
"Administration and Moderator List" should be ADMINISTRATOR and Moderator list

I clicked on a link that said Facebook and it was empty. And THEN it redirects.

Is that the link with the MySpace thing? You sure you don't just have a slow computer, because nothing of the sort happens to me.

Also, that's just how the MOD works. I wouldn't know how to repair it, unfortunately, but considering it eventually does get to the destination it's not the 'biggest' problem.

Redirecting domain fail. Use co.cc if it has to be free.

Not really going to bother considering I'll be getting a paid domain soon.

Adverts.

Can't really help that for the moment. I'll probably look into Ad Removal after getting the domain. The big one beside the welcome message disappears once you're logged in and apart from that, they're not too distracting. Plus Firefox Ad Blocker comes in handy.

So yeah, not a major concern, but thanks for the tip. I'll keep it in mind.

Why is the mature discussion forum named after a Gwen Stefani song?

Because Gwen Stefani is the root of some very serious discussion, of course. 😛

I actually made a thread earlier today in the feedback forum asking for changes to the forum title, so I'm already on it. 😉

The header is way too big, but admittedly not as bad as this: http://clubpenguinplanet.net/forum.htm

Header as in the banner or the welcome message? Or both. 😵 Mmm, the members haven't complained as of yet, but I'll ask around and see how they think, though you obviously can't please everybody, of course.

"Administration and Moderator List" should be ADMINISTRATOR and Moderator list

That's a Zetaboards thing. Can't change it without a MOD... a Mod that I don't think has been developed yet because you seem to be the first person to bring it up that I'm aware of.

You probably know what I think about free forums.

Indeed...

Anything else? If they're my biggest problems, then the forum can't be doing that badly. Thanks for the feedback Donkey.

For a free forum, I have to admit, it's pretty good.

 

[fantanoice]

Thanks. Great compliment coming from you. 😛

 

[Red Herring]

Seriously. I really can't think of anything to rip on about your forum, except that it's free, and it's often free forums that lag for me.

Did a pretty excellent job at putting it together. 😉

 

[fantanoice]

Thanks for the compliments in that case.

Even if you guys mention tiny errors like Donkey did, that would be nice.
