Sleek Styles - Review

[jay00]

Hey guys,

I am the owner of Sleek Styles and I'm always looking for ways to improve on my forum. I opened my forum 9 days ago (the 16th) and I am very proud of what I have accomplished so far.

Feedback and suggestions are always welcome 🙂 http://sleekstyles.net

Many Thanks,
Jay

Very nice looking and professional, you just need to remove those zetaboards ads with your own. 😉

Probably one of the best looking styles I've ever seen. Maybe getting off of ZetaBoards?

I would send out a mass e-mail to get your inactive members back and posting so you have a lot of them

I'm not 100%, that if I purchase the ad removal, I would be able to replace with my own.


At the minute I actually quite enjoy Zetaboards. If for whatever reason I started a new forum I would definitely go with another forum software 🙂


And thanks Fiona, I shall give that a try shortly 🙂 I just don't want to annoy people, if you get what I mean?

Many thanks for your kind comments so far guys!

You have a very good theme, when I first looked at your forum I imagined it was a Mybb or a Vb type forum, when I looked at the zeta-board copyright, I was shocked, great theme!

Here is my breakdown jay:

1. Style

Forum skin looks awesome, no changed should be made here you defiantly get 5/5 for that.

Now the logo that you have is a little freaky... Perhaps something like a really nice looking logo splattered with paint would look much nicer then a boy with a cape and a brush, just my opinion.

2. Activity

Looks like you have activity on your forum which is great especially that they are not all staff, you have real users which is gold. Also looks like your forum has a lot of posts and thats very nice and attractive view.

3. Content

What I really think brings your forum from being a professional forum is the stats that you have listed on top. You have listed the amount of hits you got today which is 28, at least that's what I think it is, and 28 doesn't sound very good, when you have a number like 344.455 that looks much better, so I suggest you remove that from your forum until you get good amount of traffic.

Now the stats that show how many resources you have is not very appealing.. you got 25 graphic sets, 19 skins and 9 modifications, my personal recommendation is to remove those stats until you get into hundreds of those resources of each.

Because when people look at a forum they see all the resources available to them is only 55 resources, but another forum they saw they have over 500 resources, so even thought you get to increase them immediate access to those resources is impossible to get so people just go to a different forum.

4. Bugs

I am not sure if this is a bug but when I click on skin database I get an error: Access Denied Error Code: 7002:605888.

This might be because of me trying to access those resources as a guest but maybe not so it leads people to questions... so if it is only for registered users be sure to indicate that in the error. 🙂

Hope that helps and good luck!

It looks great the theme is one of the best ZB themes I have seen. May I ask are you using a premium version of Zetaboards,I ask because I am not seeing the giant section of ads that most ZB users deal with.

Most likely are as per no ZB copyright on footer.

Though that questions me about the ad above the shoutbox.

But otherwise nice work and cool design.
