    Simple is the word that comes to my mind. I'm not sure about MyBB but I would assume there are some better themes out with icons rather than pale gray circles. Seems to be attracting some people though so good luck

    Hello,

    - I think there's a bit to much white space in the header there.
    - I think that the logo could be improved. The name of the forum is almost the same size as the logos underneath, but his importance is way bigger. Maybe adjust his size a bit
    - The rest seems to be ok

    Good luck with it!

    I have seen that theme on many forums, I think you should get
    a different theme, something that will give you site an original
    look and feel.

    It looks like you're getting some traffic to the forums, which is great. But I have a couple of suggestions:
    1. It's a little odd that the content of the base domain, http://www.dishnews.info/ is generically targetted to various India-related themes (Bollywood, cricket, etc), while the /forums content is so targetted to Satellite TV related targets. I'm a big believer in domain names, and my guess is that over time you'd get more traffic by moving your satellite tv content onto the base domain and moving your India-related content to another domain. (My guess is that AdSense would do a better job of serving related ads as well.)
    2. I think your site would do well with some evergreen content on Satellite TV related issues.
    3. You might think about an "About Us" page and a Privacy page as well.

    Best of luck!

    The gernal board is ok and is very easy to navigate, Its also quick loading and not ull of spam which is great because lots of forums have that and it puts me off :p Your adds are alos well blened in, in general its a very good site. The only thing i would suggest is a logo placemtn the current one is a bit blurry, If you look closely at the logos on the banner then they are all blurry. This is the only thing. Good luck with your forum though :D

    As I am a designer, I would like to suggest you to cut header in pieces, meanss bigTV image, dishtv, tata, sun images must be seprate. By this you can improve contrast of your header.
