I just began my journey to build an ultimate community of people that breathe and bleed performance and have a love for cars, trucks, and motorcycles alike. I would love any and all advice and insight my fellow members are willing to offer.

Hello
Thank you for posting your forum. I'm pretty sure your just beginning so I don't have a whole lot of advice other than your logo and nav can height. And I'm hardly one to offer it as well.

I can't wait to see what you do with your forum's design.. Good luck.

I would suggest that you search for a style in here http://xenforo.com/community/resources/categories/styles.29/
fouce on creating interesting content
I would keep checking this thread for any update

 

[steven s]

I wouldn't make all your forums private.

 

[RWHP]

Thank you everyone for the insight I will begin there

1. logo - you need a logo created for your site. so that people can see that it's not about xenforo, but about your chosen topic
2. not a bad idea to go on a grey layout. Do play more in the style properties though, so that you can get an unitary color theme.
3. I prefer fixed layouts or at least something that wouldn't stretch the site on wide monitors. Part of your quest to better usability is to have a layout that's wide enough to make sense and narrow enough for the lines of text to be easy to read. A too wide layout will mess with your visitors eyes, since they'd need to read a huge line of text.

Gotta work out the log. How does this look?

It's too clean. It needs dirt and smoke.

 

[kkm323]

Maybe you should edit the style as fixed style with a background (cars,,,,) I am waiting for more updates and improvement so far so good ​

excellent

 

[RWHP]

Also on the Portal any ideas on making it more eye appealing

[RWHP]

Thanks. A good friend came up with it for me

 

[kkm323]

I don't recommend the use of portal specially if you already have home page unless you want to change that?

 

[RWHP]

Well that is in the mix. Not sure if going to do a standard home page etc or just portal.

 

[RWHP]

Any other addons recommended?

 

[RWHP]

I decided to start on another part of the site as well to come close to matching up

great job I like where this is heading.
You could also decrease the space between the content and navigation in the home page, and also the space between the login and the navigation in the forum. I have some more suggestion but I am going to sleep for now, see you tomorrow.

Looking good! Love the logo...nice choice for the design, too!

 

[RWHP]

Thanks I am pretty happy with all of it so far
