Hi I started a small niche forum on my website mainly to have fresh content on the site. Perhaps you could have a look and see what you think. I am not so much looking for design comments as I would like you to review the threads and the functionality. It is at http://www.proselfdefenseproducts.com/self_defense_forum The 911 call is my favorite. Check it out!
hmmmmm..... Not bad but try to make the left side smaller or make it auto hide or scroll over visible.... Its a nice looking site.... u can also buy stuff here ya??
Functionality-wise, seems to get the job done. The captcha is also easy on the eyes unlike some other ones... I'd remove the "link" field though as there should be no reason for regular users to use a link for their name, it might also confuse some less savvy people. I'd also replace "name" with nickname.
your site needs a full redesign use a wordpress, or joomla as a content manager, its much easier, and you can find free templates online. Good luck with the site
