    Hello,

    I have quite a quiet forum that needs a good kick up the backside.

    Any suggestions to turn this forum around and start generating some interest ?

    whether it be looks, topics, layout....etc etc

    Any suggestions, be as harsh as you like!

    its about 3 months old, but still pretty quiet

    Hi,

    First of all you can change your theme as this is the most classical theme for a forum which uses phpBB. Check google for phpbb templates for a different one.

    You have got nice and detailed contents and forums about lighting which is an advantage for you. All I can say is change your template so you can take people's attention easier. Good luck with it ;)

    ok - ive already explained about the template, so thats not an option.

    Swedal, done that but only brings a small amount of traffic.

    anymore suggestions (other than the template)

    I don't think the template would be that hard to change if you just edited the graphics files and style sheet. Surely you can change some of the style like that.
