Pre-launch review of ForumCoin please

[Fergal]

ForumCoin hasn't been officially launched or promoted yet, however I would welcome your opinions and suggestions on the forum.

The concept is to reward members with ForumCoin, in return for their participation on the forum. As we grow and the currency will become more acceptable and members will exchange it for everything from apples to zoo tickets 🙂

There are some offers already posted on the forum and as it becomes well known members will begin offering their own products and services in exchange for ForumCoin.

Perhaps you could please click here to visit the forum and let me know your thoughts.

Is it a forum you would consider joining and posting on?

Do you notice anything that needs to be improved or amended?

Many thanks!

Everything looks good but i would like to see another theme, and maybe a few more boards to post in 😀

I think you need to add the Thread that was last posted in. A Thread title can frequently catch the attention of a member and suck them into a section that they normally wouldn't check out.

I remember when you did the logo competition for this Fergal - I'm glad you finally started working on this again, and wish you the best of luck with it.

I'd also get rid of the ForumCoin text/description next to the icon. Then you can put the description under your current logo.

Thanks Shole, we will develop and tweak the theme as we grow the site, we may also change the theme, I haven't made a definite decision on that yet.

Thanks Ghost, both of those will be implemented in the near future.

Anyone else?

Wow its cool already! 😀
You should collect members and make a contest soon
Add a market where we can buy itunes gift card,online gaming voucher,amazon gift card,etc soon!(When its big and badass) LOL
And we can trade things like that beetween members and you should add security so no one will scam(I know some security way so no one will scam)

I'd recommend changing your forum icons.
Perhaps use two grey coins to represent a forum with no new posts, and then your current header icon (one gold, one grey) to represent a forum with new posts, and perhaps one grey/one red coin to represent a closed section.

Also, I can't seem to replicate the bug, but your forum randomly switched from a "fixed" layout to a "fluid" layout.


As you can see there, the forum content widened to the edge of my screens, but the header maintained a "fixed" width. Again, no idea what made this occur, but it happened on two separate occasions.

That was probably down to me making a few changes and messing it up a few times. It shouldn't happen again.

Thanks for all the suggestions GonFreecs.

Members can buy, sell and exchange items with other members in our Marketplace sections and Amazon gift vouchers are already one of our official offers.

Thanks Ghost, I agree with you on the forum icons and we will look to adding new ones in the near future.
