New Forum

[sinamin]

I'd like to ask for my forum to be rated and suggestions to be made. Thank you in advance! I've designed the forum to match my website. It's primarily for people who visit my site and purchase my resources, to give them a place to chat with me, get tips on designing, show off their work and enter monthly contests that I will have. I'm hoping the "if you build it, they will come" theory is correct.

Thank you.

Wow, this is a very nice looking forum. The colors are not bad at all. In fact i love em. Dark colors are cool. You have blended the colors in really nice threw out the whole forum. One thing about the welcome table look is your banner image. The font text is cool looking and i like the image of that woman looking in that direction. The old post image is nice and shiny and is a good color. Good job on centering the category titles. That really makes a difference i think in organization. (big word there for me. lol)

The board content is done very well. Some people don't really add any detail in the board description. I mean a guest or a member would like to know what each board is about before registering or replying. Anyways i see nothing wrong with the board content. Try to add more threads to each board. Send out a mass email to get what members you do have active and tell them to pass the word around about your forum. Good way to get members is to tell friends. Come to think of it. How you got your category titles set up is very cool. Get new images for the info center images. Make sure they different. It's strange seeing the old post image in there though. Perhaps someone else can rate your forum. I have no idea's for you.

Thanks, Snakeair! I'm going to fix the menu links and the Info Center over the weekend. And thanks for the suggestions about members! I emailed all the members last night and set up a challenge, offering a package from my store for the member who posts the most by the end of March and also for the one who refers the most new members with a minimum of 5.

I get the feeling that a board is always a work in progress! This is my first and I am still trying to figure out how to do some design things I want to do. Sifting through all the codes is quite a task!

Thanks again!

That's great. Have a good night.
