  Old  vBTutorials - Thoughts? Ideas?

Hey all,

Some of you may know - Im currently making a site called vBDiscussion.com - I have been working hard on a modification for it called vBTutorials. I'd like to know your thoughts on it.

Take a look at some pics:


Index Page - First Page you see on the modification. This shows you the categories, menu etc.


Listings Page - The listings page shows every single tutorial submitted to the site. It is shown in category order.


PHP Listings Page - This is what you see when you click the PHP category. It's basically the listings page minus all other categories.


Submit Page - You can submit your own tutorials here. Each tutorial goes through a moderation process before being added to the system.

All the pics are just placeholders so I just made a quick white background with text. And some of the text was rushed on so I could quickly get back to the coding part.

So... I'd like to know your thoughts on this and if you have any ideas for added features I could do for it - please tell me and I'll try my best to add it.

Thanks,

Marky

looks alright but not that different from the default skin. i say change up the colors a bit and make the listings table a bit better looking not just plain borders and that plain bg maybe have like alternating rows or alternating column colors

Im using the default skin because my custom skin hasnt been coded yet
Plus it's best to code a modification in the default skin before it's moved to the new one.
