Reet, hello! I launched my musical blog thing The Crap last night, and although I'm rather chuffed to bits with my site design, I can't get my forum to look as good. I'm using a Woltlab Burning Board Lite (http://www.woltlab.de) until I can afford a license for a vBulliten (which may be in about a month or so), and if anyone else uses this for thier website, it'd be nice if you'd give some advice, or just generally help on making forum buttons. Hell, if someone offers to make me some I'll lampoon what little points I have your way.

Forum address: http://thecrap.gunsha.com/forum/ (as you can see, there is nothing there! oh my)

That's very good.

The username and password input box needs to be a bit smaller.
"Miscallanious" no, it's spelt "miscellaneous", common mistake.
You need more forums in it, or for the tables that seperate the forums to be larger, as without that it makes the board feel deserted and small, to me anyway.


That's all I can think of right now, but it's very good, well done.

Sehr gut. I'm trying to join the forums, but I can't confirm the registration 'cause my email's screwed. Nice site mate ;) just my kinda thing.

Don't waste money on VBull - Get phpBB (http://www.phpbb.com/) instead, it's free and open :)

I think there was a cock-up with me registering forum...thing, but that should be sorted now. I activated you anyways, so just try with your normal password now!

Should I perhaps extend the descriptions of the forums a bit more to make it more spread out, or sommit? I think six is big enough for a tiny site at the moment, especailly considering it's currently empty!

I've made buttons for forums before (for LeoZ and Radio Vibe etc.)...

/edit: Erm, I was trying to complain about Pete Doherty in one of your threads, and it wouldn't let me sign in...I'll try again tomorrow when I have a better computer etc...

yea, I was a big help for LeoZ when he made his site... for whatever reason we don't talk too much anymore. add s occer_hawk10@hotmail.com and we can talk (obviously without the space)

Gaah, this forum's been giving me grief. I don't know what to say; I'll have to manually activate you, perhaps? I need to change things, I'll email you when it works or sommit.
