User-friendliness

[CyanEyed]

we hasn't got it.

Not to be critical or anything, but it seems rather difficult to go between section of this site... meaning forums, frontpage, and special pages.

Maybe it's just me.

One other thing: server banners, they're awesome, i cant find them?

I'm not sure what you mean?

The forums are a bit disjointed (working on a new theme, not gonna mod this one anymore). But the rest of the site is pretty connected.

Servers page
http://www.fpsgamingcommunity.com/servers/

Any more analysis or critique is greatly appreciated! I really want to be user-friendly.

I think there should be something on the forums page that links back to the portal page, the server page, etc.
Once you get here, theres no way to "go back" without having to do it manually through your browser.

Here on the forums, we have can either click the "Home" tab link, or the forum header image at the top. Can we change the hyperlink in the header to point to the main page?

With respect

Why not just make the banner hyperlink www.fpsgamingcommunity.com  instead of the www.fpsgamingcommunity.com/forums.

SMF is a new templating system that I'm not going familar with, but I don't want to dive into it until I put up the new theme / modification I've been working on.

But from the site's perspective (not speaking of the forums), I'm definitely looking for more ideas to make it more user friendly!

While we're on the subject...

I think you should rethink the "join us around the web" box on the site, because it's not immediately apparent that those are clickable--in fact, on first glance the box looks like an ad, which has made me overlook it a few times while trying to find the link to the forums.

I'm open to ideas to fix that! I just don't wanna make it too large.

I say make the FPS banner in the top left link to the main page. The Home and Banner are kinda repetitive.

That has already been brought up and answered - heh...
