Total Motorcycle Community Forums

Good day everyone!

I thought I would update the forum logo and header design for a cleaner, fresher look. It is also shorter in total height which allows the pages to move up on your screens that much more as well.

I hope you enjoy!

New Design: (or what it looks like on my screen res)
Old Design: (or what it looks like on my screen res)

...as always, if you have any suggestions just let me know.

I liked seeing the picture.

Now the thing that catches my eye the most is the huge ad.

The Total Motorcycle is so small that I barely notice it.

Explore Twitter calls out to me...Canadian Black Book calls out to me....

I'm always open to design suggestions. I really did like the photo up there as well, but felt when I added the top ad it might have took too much top room and the page loaded further down.

With a 33% drop in revenue thanks to the economy and a x2 bandwidth increase since Sept/15, it's been rough and I didn't have much choice but to throw an ad up, somewhere. The other choice of ad sizes I had was a skyscraper or a 300x250 box, thus the leaderboard ad it the less intrusive of them all...

Once the economy/revenue starts to normalize, I'll be more than happy to remove the extra ads.

Open to suggestions.

The ads themselves are not the problem. They are just so darn big.
There is a lot of white space between the black line above notifications and the blue line above Board Index.

Could that white space be smaller?

Oh good, I was very concerned about that ad and glad that's not the main issue. For the "There is a lot of white space between the black line above notifications and the blue line above Board Index. " do you mean where I put the green lines you want closed up or?

Ultimately it doesn't matter. What I was trying to say is that my eyes are drawn to the ad....it is big and there is so much white space around it that the Total Motorcycle goes un-noticed.

That makes sense. I'm watching how it performs, if it performs well, then I can move it up to a less-noticeable location where the old "motorcycle photos" used to be.
