Avalon - A new forum CMS

[Stormy]

Hello everyone.

Today I present a brand new forum CMS, named Avalon It will not be released, but it will become a developers forum, only for developers!

Avalon is a unique system developed by a small team.
Soon there will be an open beta, so everyone can test it!

Enough talk, we go to the screenshots!

I like it but it's really boring, no offence. It would be cool if you could add styles like phpbb and xenforo. But right now, it looks pretty bland.

But good job, wish you the best on this project!

That looks really, really nice. Any chance of a code snippet?

Of course

if(stristr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 'function.language.php')){
    die('Avalon - Acces denied');
}
function setLanguage() {
    global $lang,$TPL,$newLanguage,$usr;
    $newLanguage = Avalon::$engine['system']['language'];
    if(file_exists(AVALON_ROOT. '/inc/_languages/'. $newLanguage .'.lang.php')) {
        require AVALON_ROOT. '/inc/_languages/'. $newLanguage .'.lang.php';

I'm not quite sure what to make of the design. I think I like it, but it doesn't suit a forum layout. How many forums do you see with a big hero header? What's that going to be filled with. It'll mean you'll have to provide placeholder images, or they'll have to design something that'll fit it and still look good resized

Anyway best of luck

I like the design but there is alot of empty space in some areas, anyway good luck.

Great design, but like Mark said I'm not sure if it is suitable for a forum. Since there basically isn't any code to critique, I'll make a few suggestions.

1. Make headings actually look like headings. You need to user a bigger font size to make it noticeable, instead of just changing the color of the text.
2. Instead of having a link saying "search", why not just add the search bar?
3. Reduce the top and bottom padding in the parent nodes, as it doesn't look appealing tbh.
4. I'm not really feeling the navigation. Although you did a good job with contrasting colors (blue bg, white text), I think you should dim the background a bit so it looks like a darker shade of blue, or something.

Regardless, the design seems pretty good. If you need any help with coding or designing the forum, I'll be glad to help.

I like the design very much, but it looks empty in some areas.
7/10

Can I just say, I fucking love this. From the header to the footer, It's amazing. The style, atleast for me, is on point. If you were to release, I'd download in a heartbeat.

 

[TrueJewix]

I know for a fact that the 'top bar' is someone elses design. I think @Markshall released it or something, not totally sure.

 

[Vanish]

Erm, I like it tbh.
Fix the logo though and use a different font in the header maybe?

 

[SystemSequence]

I think this look really cool and simple with the layout. Keep it going.
