I have a proxy site up, Had it for a couple of months now, so far so good.

last month 800+ unique visitors, 60 GB bandwidth. (march)

Is using a php proxy script, and i have tried to keep the site as simple as possible (no ad, forums etc etc) And i intend to keep it that way.

But theres room for improvement! so comments/suggestion please.

heres the link http://srproxy.co.uk

Looks good! I don't like the color green, but it's a good execution of it anyway. :)

Scroll down to the bottom of this forum page and click the little double arrow on the upper right of the quick reply box. You will see it collapse. Click it again and it will restore.

I think you should try to include all the options/advanced settings in a collapsed box, then have a link under the input box for "advanced settings" and when they click that have the box expand into view.

I would think that most people are just going to come to the site and go straight to the browse input.

Other design elements I think need attention:
1. The page bg color and the content bg clash. I would consider changing one or both.
2. The links in the upper right need better styling. Maybe some light weight graphic buttons instead...

Overall I think it's nice, just needs a few tweaks here and there.

To be honest...

I really like your proxy. I don't like to use anything covered in ads. Plain and simple, and the green is easy on the eyes.

A+ - Nice Job, Site is fast to.

Nice and very fast. That's what I like! Having no ads is a plus.
