Good news everyone!

In the process of getting everything setup for VlexoFree I have bought a donation system application for IPB. What does this mean for everything you ask?

The donation system will help manage money coming into VlexoFree to pay for the cost of the server, software or extras that go towards VlexoFree. Furthermore, there are special benefits for those members who choose to donate!

If you want to support VlexoFree and show your 'team spirit' don't be intimidated on how easy it is!

Furthermore, as we continue to get everything setup and completed, there will be more benefits added to the donator user group.

Lastly, although incomplete, I have opened up VlexoFree.com to the public! Many pages are missing and incomplete but the ones that are the least incomplete are up. As you can see from the logo, the site is in "beta" although I would call it more along the lines of alpha.. Oh well. The members of VlexoFree make VlexoFree what it is; so voice you opinion of what you like and dislike about the site.

Things are moving along.

Eli, I love that site!

I have only a few improvements you could make:

- There is something not right about the 'free' text on the logo, it looks kinda like an afterthought - possibly due to the size and font. Could that be changed?
- On the features page, one column is not placed next to the other under Chrome
- Use of the Silk icons in the Client area require attribution, in addition it would be nice to have icons on the tabs of the main section of the site too. It would be nice to have the icons align with the text though (I did this on a theme I worked on, works well)
- And finally, hovering over the bug icon to get what I think is service status falls off the edge of the page on Chrome, and I cant scroll to see it.

Enough negatives - the site is very very well done - very functional, clear and efficient - something which other web hosting companies sites do not do (just laying on the flash and lots of bright colours) - congratulations!

Was the same way with IE8 on windows too; but I didnt see this as Chrome (Dev) for mac rendered it the way it should be. Fixed now.

Those icons are part of the software we're using to create accounts so attribution goes to them. Adding the icons would I think take some hacking due to that the menu for the site is generated by the sites software. If you want to join the dev team you can take your hand at it.

Its not needed so I just removed it.


Thank you for the criticisms! Its exactly what I'm looking for!

// "Getting Started" page added to VlexoFree. As well as increased font size and darker color text.

The logo is better now - well done and thanks!

Im quite excited to see what the client area will be actually. Is it something along the lines of iPanel or ClientExec?

Wow,

That site looks god-damn good!

I'd agree, it is in alpha, but I'll scour it when I have a few moments free and let you know about improvements!
