Sorry, but your link is not working for me. I get a "server not found" then it goes to Yahoo.
(I've also PM'd you in case you do not see this topic 🙂)
 
hmm
I dont see why you are having that problem.
I just tried it with google chrome and I had no problems.
Also did Opera, no problems at all.

Anyone else having this issue?

I just had a few guys from Advertise Hotspot test the link and they tell me it is working<br /><br />-- 31 Dec 2010, 14:22 --<br /><br />Just talked with my host about the problem you encountered

"I've checked your DNS config. Since your account is quite old, there was a record to an outdated nameserver which no longer points to this server. A recent change on our part to the name server records may have caused an incorrect record to propagate to some of your users.

The issue should resolve itself in a short amount of time. If your visitors want, they could try clearing their DNS cache with:

ipconfig /flushdns

in the Windows command prompt. Please let me know if there are further issues.

NathanHow would you rate this reply? Poor Excellent

Ah, thanks. Whew, I was beginning to think something was wrong with my computer/browser.
This should be done within 1-3 hours now that I can view the site again 🙂
 
No problem.
My apologies about the issue and thanks for letting me know.
 
Your Quick Review



jrd9p3.webpPros:
-I really like your navigation bar. I think it's really clean and interesting; it blends well with the rest of the theme.

-I love how you have a background to the log in widget above the forum. That's really interesting, and kind of adds some color to the index.

-I think that the amount of staff you currently have on the board is great for a forum of your size. Good job with that.


21agta9.webpCons:
-Your forums banner does not have your forums name on it. That's not good at all, before you take any other steps forward in the development in the forum you should change it. I think that some sort of icon relating to your forum name then the forum name in some pretty, white text would look nice with your theme.

-The forum doesn't have a favicon. It should, because when a member (or potiental member) bookmarks your forum they probably don't want to see the typical

favicon. I would recommend that you go to Free Favicon to find a nice one for your forum.

-According to your statistics your forum has "Total Posts: 82, Total Topics: 35". On the forum index I can only see three topics and no posts. I can also only see one category, the rules and news forum. I would recommend you allow some - if not all - of the main content forums to be views by guests

-According to the statistics your forum only has 82 posts - that's not really good. I would recommend you order posting packages or do posting exchanges with others to get some forum content on your forum.

-I think you should make the forum/widget minimizing/collapsing buttons a gray color or a darker blue.

. They just look kind of out of place as the color they currently are. But, if you were to make the text in the banner that shade of blue then they would look fine.

-I strongly dislike how you have widgets on both sides of the forum. The main part of your website apparently is the forum, so widgets that are less important should not be taking up so much of the forum index page. I would recommend that you get rid of the left side widgets and move the ones on the left to the right.

13yh2c5.webpFinal/General Thoughts: I really like your theme, but think that you have a lot of improvements overall that could and should be made to your forum.

What was most liked about the website/forums: The theme and how nice it looks.

delete.png
What was disliked most about the website/forums: The lack of content, how I can't see the main boards as a guest.

Final Score : Score - 4/10

Thank you for the review.

I thought you were going to login with the demo account. The demo account has the same access as a registered user.
The reason I am not allowing guests is because I want them to register to view everything. Not just visit and move on. But i will look at what I can do about that.

Concerning the banner, it is in the process. being done.
Will also look at a favicon 🙂 and the rest of your review.

Thank you<br /><br />-- 31 Dec 2010, 20:57 --<br /><br />I just changed the permissions. Guests are now able to view the boards and posts.
I hope it will work.
I am always worried about people just browsing, not registering and moving on. Will see

Yes, but others may not realize that there are other forums and just leave.
Perhaps if you just showed the forum but not allowed the guests to see the content of the forum then that would work just as well 🙂
 
yea, good point. vicious circle.
Just followed your advice on the widgets and it sure makes it nicer 🙂

For the content, I am of the belief that a community grows only thanks to its members.More active members, more content, more success.
