Your not an admin of the forum.. I see that you're only a graphic designer? If it is so, then I will have to refuse your request.

And yet someone still reviews xD

He's the admin as his profile leads to profile number one. He is the founder, and this review is still eligible to be reviewed for anyone who wants to tag it. Wink

Quick Review

The first thing that stood out to me was the bright skin, mostly the background image. I actually think that this goes well with your forum, as it suits the "Hive" part of your name. However, I don't really think that your navigation bar fits in too well with the other images. I'm sure you could find an orange navigation bar, or one that at least incorporate a bit of orange or yellow into it. To finish on the graphics, I think the images you have in the "Price Lists" category (on the board descriptions), should be changed to a different colour, preferably yellow/orange colour. This way, they wouldn't stick out as much as they do now, being red.

One thing I found a bit annoying (but isn't a huge issue) was that some boards had no descriptions at all, while others had full descriptions. This might just be a pet peeve of mine, but it would be nice to know what each forum had in it. You could either remove them all (the descriptions), or give descriptions to them all, just as long as you have uniformity throughout your board.

I'll finish on your groups. To be perfectly honest, I have absolutely no idea what the "Myfriend issocool" group is for. Is it a staff group? A user group? I'm sure I am not the only one who is confused as to the purpose of this group. Same thing with the "Princess" group. Other than that, your forum seems to be doing sufficiently, especially since you are a very new board. I wish you the best of luck.
