Near a month but not yet got a confirmation it will be reviewed. Seem there are any delays on this forum 🙂

I quite like the look of it, interesting concept and changes from the Xenforo software (at least I think it is?). You have a lot of members, but not a lot of posts - something you should work on?

Also, the left sidebar is cool but those visiting on mobile devices - which I'd assume a lot of your target market would do, might struggle to find how to activate the sidebar, I did. I would try to make it clearer.

Thanks for liking my forum, and yes it is built from Xenforo software.

They were members on a my existing forum that I moved to, so they don't need to re-register on smartphones.best again. And the forum is having less posts because it is a new forum, about 2 months old.

Also, the left sidebar is cool but those visiting on mobile devices - which I'd assume a lot of your target market would do, might struggle to find how to activate the sidebar,

When viewing on mobile, you can see the "Forums" button where you can see left sidebar there. The right sidebar is still visible on mobile.

I would try to make it clearer.

Which parts would you suggest making it clearer? can you elaborate this?

It's the forums bit on mobile I would try to make a bit clearer what it does, I didn't work it out for a couple of minutes. Maybe change the text to something like 'View Forums' so they know it brings up the sections.

It is a good idea and what do you think about this text "Forum categories"?
It is better than "View Forums"?

Yeah that would work, just makes it a bit more obvious what it does. I originally missed it thinking it was just a header or something. Good work otherwise!

Yes it was putted on near of Top page on homepage. Someone could miss it when viewing on mobile but when they are familiar to the forum layout, then it is easy to find this button.

I have change the forum logo, what do you think about it? I should put an icon before logo text? or keep as current one?

Looks alright. I would come up with an identifiable icon though, since you have quite a generic name for the forum, you need something that makes people know that it is your community.

I have rechecked this, it will work on desktop but on mobile it will have two icons because on mobile there will have a menu icon next to logo.

I think it was the description on footer. Didn't you see it? Or it should be putted on a better place?
