Review my admin forum

Site Name: AdminWeb
Site URL: https://adminweb.org/
Date Opened: July 2018
Notes: The forum is intended to provide general and technical help to webmasters.

I wanted to have a cold start. I think it is time that I take some feedback on what can be done to improve the performance altogether. We use Woltlab Burning Board as software.

The forum looks pretty clean to me. But I have noticed that you don't have a banner for it. I have made one (it's very simple) and you can use it if you like it. Also, I don't think there are introduction and feedback sections. You can create them so the members can introduce themselves and post what they think about your forum, how to improve it, bugs they found, etc.

This is the transparent white logo to match your green background.

And this is how it looks on the green background:

It's okay. I'm not a huge fan of the theme. I like that it's on WoltLab though. Not enough people use it.

I find that the design elements and posts take up a lot of vertical space.

I do think that a logo is needed, the colors are nice and neutral but just feels like something is missing. Perhaps more color to draw in the eyes better. I do wish you the best @meetdilip it's been a little since we ran into each other.

I am not sure what you mean by that.

I wanted to do that. In due time, of course 🙂

Nothing makes me feel better than seeing old friends. Hope you are doing great. I wanted to do a logo. But was not getting very creative lately. I see Host Hunters going strong. So happy about it. 🙂

How would you like the theme to be ? There are a few themes I can use from Woltlab store. This one is a modified default theme.

I am not sure what you mean by that.

I mean that the postbits are tall and so are some of the parts of the design, so a lot of content just gets pushed off the page and you have to scroll a lot more to see anything. This is particularly the case on a laptop.

 

[meetdilip]

That is true to some extent. I had no choice since I had to use sidebar widgets. I guess I will have to live with it at the moment. It is just an UI glitch 🙂

Something a little bit...more. Something that pops out. Is it easy to modify? I may start creating themes for WoltLab, considering their limited availability.

If you know enough PHP, I don't think it is so hard to make one.

claps 🙂

I just never worked with WoltLabs before. I'll find a way to get into the backend and check it out. Thanks.

 

[Allan]

Making themes on WoltLabs is very easy, you are basically putting everything into a extra css.

Nice work adding content to the forum. Thats what i notice alot of admins don't do with their communities. Good job man.
