B****y h**L, Just been on that site but had to turn it off, couldn't find my sunglasses!!!
A bit on the bright side mate

Re: Help Me!!!
 

Just tried to view the site but the url you posted just takes me to the companies home page.

As for your post, I think this section is for the accringtonweb.com forum in general so it may be best moving it to another thread.

Re: Help Me!!!
 

well i got there in the end, now then, who's good at eye surgery.........

It's a little bright, other than that it's nice

Re: Help Me!!!
 

Just gonna say neal, dont use www. but i see you have got there, it is a bit bright isnt it!

Re: Help Me!!!

matthewm56.proboards.com

matthewm56.proboards3.com
sorry about the brightness lol!:D

Re: Help Me!!!
 

oh your there ok

Re: Help Me!!!

Some of your images aren't working though on the menu

Re: Help Me!!!
 

would you like me to change the colors?

Re: Help Me!!!
 

do we need a poll or shall we just say yes.....hee hee

Yeah prob a good idea mathew

Re: Help Me!!!
 

im sure that if you can face the sun that was here this weekend you can face the brightness of my site! lol

Re: Help Me!!!
 

Swearings cool then is it? Get your swear filter on!
You wont get any decent members otherwise.

Other than that and brightness OK
Sorry, wouldn't want to be involved in moderating a childrens forum, thanks.

Re: Help Me!!!
 

Yes im trying to prevent that. People are doing it that i,ve never heard of. So i would like it to be an accy web supply. If thats ok with Roy lol. Please if you do like my site only spread to friendly people. Thanks

Re: Help Me!!!
 

You haven't got your swear filter on that stops naughty words you don't want.
You've also got it set so guests can post! You need it to be set for members only, then at least you have a little bit of control.
If you don't know how to do these things maybe you should ask your parents for help.
They might even suggest you keep your forum between you and your mates.
:) :)

It's not that simple. By advertising it on here, thousands of people automatically now have a link to your site.
The only way you can be certain about your members is stick to people you know!

Re: Help Me!!!
 

like cazzer says i would not want to be involved on a childrens site could be problems
so good luck with the site but sort your swear filter out

Re: Help Me!!!
 

Thanks for the advice!
Its not a kiddies forum though!

Re: Help Me!!!
 

I have now done everything you said to do on my site! But should i change the colors?

Re: Help Me!!!
 

Your forum may be a little confusing and complicated if your new to this sort of thing.

I was thinking of using a free forum from www.forumforfree.com for one of mine as they have a service which is user friendly and easy to use, but decided that I want all mine to look / be the same

This may be best for you until your become more used to forums and how they run.

Re: Help Me!!!
 

Try this 1 then:
maxpages.com/thehollins

Re: Help Me!!!
 

i made it! its ok actually

Re: Help Me!!!
 

Well as I have a problem with my sound card, I can't view the site. My computer shuts down.

I'd still try the other free forum site though, much better

Re: Help Me!!!
 

ok well can you help me if i get stuck?

Re: Help Me!!!
 

their support is amazing and once you sign up, they will help you as much as possible so don't worry about that

Re: Help Me!!!
 

i've just registered and its just like my other thats really bright!

Re: Help Me!!!
 

anyway i have changed the colour of my site and its looking better please can you see if its any better?
Thanks Matt

Re: Help Me!!!

matthew56.proboards3.com

Re: Help Me!!!
 

You said I'm the moderator in your site bro, but I'm still "new member" my role wasn't change yet !

Re: Help Me!!!
 

you are............ or will be lol

Re: Help Me!!!
 

Hey bro, I think the collour was too bright. Can you change the colour with any softer colour (but not too dark) :cool: :D

Re: Help Me!!!
 

am I moderator in your site bro ?

Re: Help Me!!!
 

Matthew, which site are you going with? I can offer you some help and advice on how to do the things people are suggestingon the ProBoards one. (Things like the swear filter etc)

Re: Help Me!!!
 

The popups on TheHollins are a bit overpowering. :(

Re: Help Me!!!
 

Sorry Mathew but is still way to bright, the colours clash. You need dark text on light background or vice versa if thats possible.

Re: Help Me!!!
 

My offer of help still stands Matthew. :)

Re: Help Me!!!
 

Can someone post a direct link to it, all I ever get is the main proboards page.

Re: Help Me!!!
 

Re: Help Me!!!
 

Hmm, I think that Matthew needs to visit several other forums & see what colour schemes & forums are available on them to get some ideas.

Before getting more moderators he really needs to setup the forums properly.
Although we all started somewhere & without knowing what to do.

Perhaps if you can define what your forums are going to be about, what "theme" you are going to follow? I.E. just general chat, specific subjects like a fishing forum, a specific town forum, a sport forum etc, most follow some form of theme like that.

That would then help you to decide what sub forums to have, where posts about specific things can go into specific sub forums. Otherwise it can all become a big mess & everything getting posted in just one place becomes hectic & harder to moderate etc.

Proboards is adequate to start you out with having a forum, however there are better loooking ones & some without adverts too. Still you will learn more as you go along.
