Is my new forum skin too dull?

Is the forum skin at this new Health Forum too dull???
I don't have much graphics there. I was wondering what you guys think of it.

Hi, it isn't dull at all. It's very clean and crisp. Although it doesn't remind me of a hospital like environment. TAZ used to have a hospital look that was endearing in a way.

Looks fine. But I've not been big on forum design in a while. My forum uses the default vb theme with a bit of a header change.

[Supermighty]

I like the look. I think it fits your subject matter well.

I'd like to see it with a blue instead of a green. Blue seems more health care related.

It looks really good. Easy on the eyes Clean and simple, but not boring

[Naviero]

It is slightly dull to me, but I like it because it works for the forum.

Thanks for the feedback. I was primarily concerned with the lack of graphics. But I am glad the design is appealing to you guys. I am working on a new logo that should bring a fresher look to the forum.

It looks nice I don't like the banner in the upper right it appears to be an after thought.

[carita]

Don't change the logo! It's really good

[MelfromBoD]

it looks great, nice job. I agree, blue would be a tad bit better.

[Tecca]

I really like it, it's nice.

I would change the white background to a light gray or something. White is too dull for me.


my 2 cents

Sorry but the logo got to go. Many people have suggested that the logo does indeed suck

I think it looks very nice. very well organized one thing you might want to think about doing is changing the default vbulletin favicon. I went ahead and made one for you.(don't feel you have to use it though).
All you have to do is go to www.favicon.cc and upload the .png file and convert it into a .ico(sorry I would have done that but vbulletin won't let me upload .ico files) once you have the .ico file all you have to do is upload it into your root folder.
Hope this helps.

I believe your forum looks well done; crisp, clean, fresh. I don't think its dull at all.

I would not call that dull. Its nice and fresh and not to flashy but I think you should possibly think of incorporating some other colors as well, Like maybe some red as well?

who told it is dull...i dont think so...they have a unique style....

[ablaye]

Thanks BannanoPeel for the favicon. I will use it.
I see that you guys like the style. I'll leave it as is for now. Thanks for the feedback.

It isn't dull at all! In fact it is very neat, clean, and organized, and is full of information. Personally I like it!

I think it actually is dull. The logo looks like a low budget logo. The bubble like text doesn't fit the forum skin. In other words, the logo looks like it's for a kids site when the forum skin looks like it's geared toward adults aware (or unaware) of their health. The ad at the top right doesn't fit where it is. There might be a CSS bug. You can look into that yourself. It might just be my computer.

One thing I noticed when comparing your design to other forum designs in the same health area is the fact that your forum design lacks any emotional feeling that would spark my interest registering or posting anything.

Also, I wanted to mention that your favicon doesn't really make too much sense to me. The red cross? Maybe have a heart instead since that is in your logo..red cross comes off as Red Cross.
