impossibla!

oh, my color schema isn't bang on but it's getting there...

if one of the lovely ladies who sees it happens to have some color suggestions that would be great too!

men are good with colors too but you know what I mean : )

Since you asked about sections, I would add a customer service section, and move tech support, suggestions, bug reports there, and create a billing questions forum, of course adding the warning not to post account numbers in any of those forums.

Limiting it to 4-5 sections with 5-6 forums each would probably make it easier for new users to find the proper forum without overwhelming the user. For instance, I looked at the page imagining I had a bug to report... because there is no section for that type of entry, the first thing I saw in the long list of member forums was tech support, so I probably would have posted it there, missing the bug reports. By creating another section, shortening all the sections, it would probably make it more clear there is a place for bugs and a place for technical questions, IMO.

Oh, one other suggestion... you might want to consider slightly reducing the size of the forum names and increasing the size of the section names. Possibly an off white color for the forum names would also help reinforce the heirarchy.

well thanks so far - all the suggestions are totally respected and appreciated...i'd like to make this a fun forum for the kids.

so i'll just keep checking in to see who's got some good suggestions and idears and critique.

I am not sure if I am missing something....but what is club penguin? The site has no introduction to what is is all about....It looks like some diverse acid induced linux forum to me...

Ok I am left out in the cold with the penguins what is a friggin penguin?? is it a game??

your site says:

Do you play Club Penguin? Post your Club Penguin member picture, tell us your penguin stories, share your tips and tricks, get help or Club Penguin gaming support and more! Create your free Club Penguin account today!

what does the @%&# does that mean??

if your site is for a particular game??, then establish it as the place to come for updated tricks or codes or whatever the game offers, your forum is to vague for me, but I suppose If I knew what a Penguin was I would understand.....

It looks like any other forum, probably becaues it's a canned script forum, not to impressive

Nick

I don't understand why your banner penguin image is a mirror image, thus producing backwards text, of the one on the "official" club penguin site (www.clubpenguin.com).
I assume you have permission to use their image.

listen Nick, tek'it easee. Gesh, im NOT too interested in explaining to people what a club penguin member is and instead im hoping people who search for 'club penguin forums' or 'club penguin forum' my site will be found:

http://www.google.com/search?sourcei...penguin+forums

I'm also working towards getting great SERs with the keywords 'children's online games' and the like.

Re: My canned forum. Hey, if you have the time to put together from scratch what is already fully functional by all means develop the site for me, i'll give you FULL CREDIT.

To all the other, I will make the changes according to your advice shortly.

And thank you all !!!

This one is MUCH better then the first site you posted before. I am using a laptop and I know the displays are different and we all have different resolutions. But on my machine…you have tons of space on the right and left. Why not expand and use some of that space. Just a thought. There is my 2-cents!
