    Is it OK to ask for reviews here?

    Hi

    Is it OK to ask people what they think of my website in this part of the forum? I think quite a few people here have websites and it would be a good idea to have a board dedicated to it.

    I don't think the giving of and listening to opinions is banned on HEXUS, no.

    Here are some other things that aren't banned:

    Having teeth.

    Having previously visited Spain.

    Using 'the' more than twice in the same post.

    Posting whilst not wearing a top hat, dinner suit and tie.

    Posting without first getting the express written permission of The Princess Anne, Princess Royal.

    Posting if you are a supporter of West Ham United FC.

    Posting after having eaten a banana which was peeled without the use of a knife and fork.

    Yeah, that was what I was worried about. Well if it's OK then could people review my site then:


    <name removed ..... AGAIN>

    Any suggested improvements would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks

    Since his other thread was locked a few minutes back

    If the site is attempting to sell something it may still be frowned upon in here.. I don't know.

    Well, trying to get more traffic is not the same as asking for opinions.

    That might be banned.

    Honest suggestion? Look at using Magneto - not Jamoola.

    (And I don't mean the x-men villan)

    When you say 'That might be banned.' do you mean this thread or the trying to get more traffic idea? The original thread was meant for reviews, but sometimes when people know it is your site they dont always tell the truth.

    Magneto is definately a package to investigate.

    Jamoola is ok - but there is a lot of behind-the-scene issues recently apparently

    amwhite2008 ....... since the name was removed from your last thread and the thread locked, you can take that as a hint that you need to clear such things with us FIRST.


    If this was a personal website or a blog, I can see no issues. But the site is a commercial operation.

    Please contact the addresses you were given before posting that address again. You never know - it might even be approved.

    The people you need to ask about posting that are the site Admins, or better yet, the business team, not the membership in General Discussion.
