Dissociative Identity Disorder IG DID Support Forum
 First Impressions - Rating: Poor
When I first opened your forum, I was surprised by the pute teal color the forum has, it's really looking great and really professional for me to see a forum having only 1 color which stands out and the forum looks really popular, but in the first place, I'm a little bit confused on your navigation bars, since I can find them everywhere on the top portion of the index, some are in the banner(the log in and log out) navigation bars, it'll look better if these navigation bars are only one line only, the other/major navigation bars are hard to find at first, so moving the middle part of the index, I noticed that the index has this great width, I will have to scroll to the right to see the remaining contents there which really looks unprofessional, I also noticed that you had a very very long index which isn't good to look at and looks really unprofessional for me, the width/size of the widgets are too big causing this enlargement of the index's width, I either advice you to make it smaller or just remove it to make the index look more organized,the spaces between the side widgets(on the left) between the forums are also big if, you may want to narrow this one,as I scroll to the bottom of the index, it took me alot of time to know/see all the forums,I would advice you to make some forums a sub forum so it shortens the index,I got really confused on searching important forums which is a really bad one.
 Graphics & Layout - Rating: Very Poor
I will start with the major graphics of the forum, I don't see any banner on the forum except for the forum title and description of the forum on the top most part of the forum,I would suggest you to upload a good banner to represent your forum, the design of the forum will look greater if you had a banner, and for the navigation bars, as I'd mentioned in the first place, they should be in one line so it is easier for us to find and not to look confusing, try also uploading different navigation bars for your major bars(Homepage, Forums etc.) that will match with the 'Log in' and 'Log out' navigation bars,I suggest you to fix those things to make it look professional, for the images/graphics on each forums, I suggest you to have same sizes on each forums because it really looks weird and unprofessional to have images on each forums that's having different sizes, the 'Who is online?' icon is weird, it's saying 'Welcome', but this one is a statistical information not a 'Welcome' area, I also noticed that you don't have any Forum icons (New post, no new posts & Forum is locked) try fixing those things to improve the professionalism of the forum.
Now, what I noticed about your forums is that each forums covers a very very large area which makes your index long, I do think there are codes added that made this or it just with the theme, I suggest the default way of showing the forums on the index, it's way better.
The theme of the forum is cool, it's really original and as I'd mentioned it stands out, the background is also cool, so nice work with the theme.
 Forum Activity - Rating: Excellent
On the index view, I do think that the forum has a great activity, I saw lots of forums with latest posts which is good, and most of the forums has great amount of posts, so nice work, the total amount of posts 47,000 plus is really brilliant for a forum having only 203 members, that's really a great achievement and I'm impressed when I saw this, so good good work here
For the user's activity, it's also brilliant here, I saw a lot of members online while I'm reviewing the forum, there are also lots of members that are logging within24 hour period of time, so great work here too, overall, you got a brilliant work on the activity criteria.
 Staff & Usergroups - Rating: Average
So the total amount of groups is 6, I see that most of them has good functions to the forum including the 'administrator' & 'moderator' groups, and the other groups are consists of miscellaneous for the forum, although I don't know what's the reason of the group 'Junior Members' since they're only new, I don't think it's needed, I would advice to remove this so you can save more space here, other than that, the other groups are ok. The group colors are fine too.
Now for the amount of staff, I can't access the group page but on the online list, I saw a lot of staff members, I saw about 4 administrators,4 is great but it looks overpopulated, I suggest you not to add more, I saw alot of moderators too, about 7, that looks weird but since you have lots of forums, it's ok, but it's advisable than you have maximum of 5 as it looks unprofessional having too much mod.
 Originality & Unique Quality - Rating: Good
What I think original about this forum is mainly it's color and theme, the color teal is rarely used on forums so it looks really unique and good, that's all I can say on this part.
