Look 'n feel nit-picks - Webmaster Forum

Nicole2112 · May 3rd, 2006

I'm not sure if this is the kind of feedback you're looking for, but I've got a couple nit-picks about your template:

* Why do you both have a Google Adsense top bar and a Google Adsense "second post" in each thread? In my opinion, it's a little much. The ads begin to drown out the post.

(Also, the top Adsense bar is overlapping the right-hand border of the main content area--it's bleeding over the orange line into the blue diagonal stripes. I'm using Firefox 1.5.0.3)

* I think the big box up top a thread that says "thread informations" is a bit too big. Gives me yet another screenful before I get to the actual posts and made it hard at first for me to find the Forum -> Subforum -> Thread breadcrumb links.

(At the very least, you might want to omit that final "s" -- "informations" sounds odd to me. I don't think that word is supposed to ever get pluralized that way.)

...Just in case you find this sort of feedback helpful. Feel free to ignore if so inclined!

Thanks, for the feedback Nicole, I really do appreciate it.

I have alot of adsense for obvious reasons but once the forums get a little busier I will remove the adsense from the second posts if it is getting to annoying.

I didint realize that the main adsense was bleeding over that much in firefox, I use IE so hard to tell. There is a fix for that somewhere on vbulletin.org, I just havent been able to track it down yet.

The big box thread informations is acually good for Search Engine Optimization purposes, I think...
But I will try to get rid of the "s" at the end.

Thanks.

I cut down on the google ads now, so should be much easier on the eyes.
I added it at the bottom as you can see. Is it still over-lapping in firefox?
Can someone tell me?
Thanks.

The header tag helps the search engines determine the topic of your thread but making the text bigger and spacier doesn't affect search engines. You can make the box smaller in your stylesheet.

Some say bolded or bigger keywords help you in the serps.

Hoe do I make the box smaller in my stylesheet?
