    I have a new forum and i need some people to tell me what they think of the forum in general for e.g. Mods installed, skin, topics, etc.

    Thanks for your time and help

    It's a little bland (the header especially). Seems too narrow- and the font sizes are a little small. You have a lot of topics- at this early stage it makes the forum seem very empty. Is there a reason for having the link for checking PMs in such a prominant position?

    May I suggest a logo possibly in the left hand corner. You can take care of the empty posts by making some posts in more of your topic areas. I know their are some people who are willing to do post exchanges with you(free) or for a minimal cost pay for posters.

    You might want to do some link exchanges and put them in your footer as well.

    But overall the site is clean (yes a little narrow) but this can be overcome with more activity and links and a logo. Maybe some ads or links to the left and right of the forums could help.

    logo would definately be a plus. Even though the design looks pretty simple but it looks complete. looking at your page i guess you need to spend some time doing SEO with your site.
    forums are always difficult , so good luck dude!

    These are main headings. Supposed to be bold. Increase the font size and make them bold.

    Forum Titles could be made bold imo.

    Cheers!

    Why are there 2 headers? The red bg and the spiral.

    Think it could be a little wider.

    Why not do something to attract forumers - coop advertising maybe.
