I desperately need feedback on PJN. I want to know what kinds of things my sites lack, and I need to work on. Comments on the layout are also apperciated .

Thanks! ^_^

Finally a new Potw! XD Ok, try to make the saybox colors fit your layout a little better, and in your title of the page at the top should have an apostrophe like this ":: PokeJungle Network - It's a Jungle in There ::" but without those "s of course. I would just work on some more content.

[Imakuni?]

Nice, but why load images from photobucket?

[pokejungle]

I am working on content =3 I don't get what you're saying about my title v_v

Kuni- Why not use photobucket? What should I use?

[Trikip]

You should host the image yourself. And I mean the title like at the top above the browser toolbar.

[pokejungle]

I know. What is it that you want changed about it? It looks exactly the way you typed it v_v

I have several photo galleries I could install with Fantastico...maybe I'll do that.

[Trikip]

You forgot the apostrophe in the title, that's all I'm saying. And that's not what we mean by hosting the image yourself. You can just create a directory called images or something, and you just upload the image there.

[pokejungle]

I know. But using a gallery is so much more fun! =3

There is no apostraphy(sp).

[Trikip]

I know, but it should be "It's" not "Its". Just a minor mistake! ^_^

You're right! 0.0;;; Sorry...


Should my forums be: IPB or SMF or phpBB....?

[Trikip]

SMF for sure in my opinion. You'd just need to find a good enough skin...

[Golden Groudon]

Errr...The white stuff under the shadow of the title looks kinda sharp.

[pokejungle]

I can't do anything about that. v_v

Trikip- I have SMF installed currently, and am making it my main forums =) *Thank goodness for Fantastico!*

Out of the three... I'd say phpBB

[pokejungle]

Can someone explain to me why their oppinions on phpBB vs SMF? I'm not very knowledgeable about either.

SMF has a horrible skinning and adminCP.
Even worse group controls, lack of skins and lack of hacks

[Cool Cr@cker]

Don't have IPB. Its not that good. Anyway Both PHPBB and SMF are the best bet for freebies. PHPBB has some pretty good features, and great layouts. SMF is overall classy but I hear its difficult to install unless you are a pro and the Admin CP sucks.

Should I install phpBB 2 instead then.....? 0.0;;;

I had trouble with the phpBB Admin frames before, but I think that was a 1.x.x installation. v_v

phpBB has a better interface. SMF is too user friendly. It's like Windows, bad no matter how you look at it. phpBB has a better community, more hacks and styles. It's like Linux, perfect. phpBB also doesn't have a lot of usless stuff like MyBB, SMF, vB, IPB, etc. such as the calendar, color usernames, stuff like that. But if you want that stuff, there's a mod for. So overall, phpBB.

[Lion Heart]

Okay it doesn't look to bad, however, I personally don't like Green and White as a colour scheme.

They don't mix and it makes the site sort of I don't know.. noobish is seriously the closest word to how it feels.

Consider replacing white with perhaps a more junglish colour.

-Brown won't work with Grey though, remember that.

[Jesus Freak Josh]

Not bad...
The writing's a bit close together though and it's a bit stretched out. Try and make the main page a bit smaller. Make an archived news page and put it all there.

If you would like, I could help you with R/B/Y/G/S/C info.

Also for "Poké" try doing the é. Alt + 1 + 3 + 0
No + and it has to be the numberpad.

[pokejungle]

Ok. I'll go with phpBB [even though I like Windows better =P ].

I'm horrible at layouts, so I'll probably keep this one for awhile, unless you all like http://pokejungle.5gigs.com layout, because I could use that one. v_v

Batesy, I'll PM you.
