I'm making this template for my friend, and he is making a forum software. I agree'd to help him out by making the index, etc for him. So this is what I done so far.

Also just to let you know he is planning to replace the links in the navigation, etc. With images. I suck at graphics so I can't provide them. 😛

But other than that I wanted a little feedback about my work, and what everyone else thought. This is all from scratch. I'm usually to lazy to do this kind of work. :lol:
 
Well it is blue. Most forum softwares default themes are blue. its way common. Maybe make it another colour?
 
Try giving a unique structure to Forum list. It looks just like all other Forums.

All the other forums default themes are the same to really. IPB3.2 looks like Xenforo a bit. So I don't think it really much matters to the default. The default isn't really supposed to be unique or fancy. Just simple enough for users to customize from. 😛
 
Yikes the font is killing me. I recommend a new one, though Ican't remember what it is called.

Other than that I can't say much more because it is a WIP I want to see what else you change.

I was going to change the font last, and do everything else first. 😛
 
Yeah font and color needs to be worked on. Good start though.

The default theme matters more then you would think...

I suggest using a different set of colors and be unique like the default zetaboard design.

I also suggest making a unique index and post template.

Like the others are saying right now it looks to basic.
 
Updated screenshot in the first post.

Also everyone that keeps saying be unique. I'll try to be unique as possible. But I don't have the time to make anything major unique without spending weeks. I'm trying to get this finished as soon as possible for my friend. I was just showin off my skills honestly. :lol:
 
It's simple at the moment, but it's great for a start. Keep working hard and I'm sure it'll look amazing when it comes out as the finished product. All in all, good luck with your template creating and good luck to your friend who's starting the forum software.
 
Update screenshot again in the first post. Made alot of changes.
