After spending months of hard work at perfecting this site I would now like my fellow snitzzers () to give some honest critique of my site. Although not a great ASP coder I have spent many long hours adding MODs to take this site away from the "out of the box" look. Let me know...

I love the way you've done the header, it looks very nice. Logo looks cool with the colour scheme as well.

Why dont you ask him to make you the award picture as well? It would look nice, and will match your logo as well.

Let me give credit where credit is due.
Actually it was Locnar that did my logo.

Would anyone else like to give their opinion?

Thanks for the credit

I think it looks nice, but I think it would look a lot better if you were to put a slight gradient in the category header bars rather than the flat green color. I would keep them the same color just with a gradient-type effect, either 2D or a very subtle 3D. Maybe even the header bar. I can make some for you if you have the mod installed. Let me know.

Other than that, great mods and easy to look at.

BTW, let me know what your final choice is for your background color and I will redo your logo with that color in the background (or just make it transparent).

Hmmm.

Again....take out the Marquee, they are just plain annoying.

the <HR>'s don't look quite right IMO.

The login buttons don't quite suit your site...and the Header/Cat BG gradients look a bit "Out of place".

Sorry if I was a bit rude.

gradients don't seem to work well together.

Personally I find the marquee beneficial for alerts. I see what you are saying though. I might just add it to the default.asp.

Was looking at that. There are three and should only be one (maybe).

Not sure what you mean and my users dont complain.

there are better ways to get someone's attention, a more professional way but it would involve you being able to understand a bit of dhtml..

there are tons of other scripts on the net... marquee tags are just as old and annoying as the infamous <blink> tag.

remember this as well... you are asking for recommendations. sometimes you have to let go of what you think looks good and listen to the masses.

I am open to opinions. Sorry if I made it sound like I wasnt.
