What else can be done? Could you review my forum and let me know, if you know that is!, what i can do to "jazz" it up a bit? It is only 2/3 weeks old so any help/advice from you is greatly apprieciated! Thanks I want the friendly but professional look aswell as looking like a useful tool for business/tradespeople and of course the all important consumer! if the link doesn't work it is www.yourlocaltrades.co.uk/forum The main website has the link on it too, so feel free to compre the two looks, i would like them to look similar at some point but the colours are not far of at the moment! Thank You.
The forum is not bad, I think you should add a graphic into the header to make it look more appealing.
If you knew me, suggesting i do something like that could be catastrophic!! I know its phpbb3, thinking that would make life easy, but no clue how to do this!
Forum looks good, but it's all about number of users which you have just barely enough of. I think even with a forum that looks bad if you have enough people posting you'll do fine.
I agree with the majority by saying you definately need a banner/header. Also the image quality of the logo looks quite bad. There seems to be a fair amount of posts/threads for a new site, so you must be doing something right
Not too sure on how though for the banner! (which is one thing i really want to change!!) Yeah, it seems to be picking up now, it has been up for a month so i am happy with it so far! just hope people keep visiting and of course-come back!!
