MyBB Community Forums

Here is my small precious metals refining forum. 

https://alhimika.net/forum/

Sorry the language is Russian, but I'm posting this here just to show potential of MyBB. 

As it stands feb 2021:

• Mobile theme
  
• Desktop theme
  

Both based on the same responsive free Netpen theme. 

Original theme was full of bugs and flaws, so took me nearly two month to get to the point I'm proud to show off. 

• Advanced CKEditor. In fact Rin editor with ability to drag and drop photos straight into editor. Separate editor option to upload photos to local server. Thanks to Martec for his help.

Whatever else I could possibly miss. 

Good user GUI both mobile and desktop
Very good notifications 

At the moment I did compare to paid Xenforo & Vb. 
Even my forum won't beat them in every single aspect but certainly can compete with and nothing to be ashamed of. 

Since I'm not any kind of professional coder, everybody else could have such a good forum when using MyBB

Many thanks to every developer of MyBB.

Looks good, good luck with the forum

Agreed - am not a Russian speaker, and haven't attempted to auto-translate anything, but visually the forum looks very good. You've done a great job with it, especially for not being a professional coder. Best of success with it!

I used Google Translate to view your site in English.

My first impression is that the combination of white and blue on the index page yields a very bright page. Overall, the site looks really clean, just visually nice - but that brightness of those bright blue icon images, my eyes don't favor those.

Also, the outer border of the forum sections on the index page would, I think, look better and reduce the overall bright mass, if that outer border were done in a dark color, such as that dark blue at the very top. That alone would help change how the eye perceives all of that brightness. It would add more visual balance to the index pager, from my perspective.

I agree.  Try changing the white background to a very light shade of gray, or blue and see how it looks to you.
