    Hey for is www.EntrepreneurForum.co.uk - i own other domains also which point to that site, such as SocialBusiness.net and BusinessesForum.com etc

    I'm looking for any improvements i can put on the forum, do you know any VB addons i can put on the site.

    The sites only been open 6 months what do you think, does the numnber of posts justify the amount of time its been open or should it have more..

    thansk for your time.

    1. Change favicon.ico to make your site look unique
    2. Add some more tints of green - dark green, gray-green. Perhaps add one more color. Just white and green - it makes me thing my monitor is out of order. DigitalPoint has not bad green-color theme.
    3. Add some graphics to make it looking more frolic perhaps.

    Now it is too strict, simple white and green :)

    Hello,

    Other than colors, you site is pretty ok... Pretty much a plug/play install :eek:

    Posting numbers seem good too, you should be happy. How are you advertising
    for traffic? You can check with your web host for addins, as they usually
    have a "Fantastico" auto-plugin.

    Your forum looks good but like everyone observed these colors need some fine tuning because the site looks very pale. Your header overwhelms the site and makes forum less visible taking away from great topics and realestate for possible advertisement . The login box above the forum should be moved to the left column in order to make the design more uniform. These observation are based on personal taste but the most important thing is that you enjoy your site.

    Thanks alot of you have said about the colours, so i think they should be changed, and the favico.ico i will change that also

    I'm not doing anything specific for advertising, just trying to get good SEO

    thanks for the tips :)

    Nice domain name Matt, colours clash a little bit too much for me, that orange text is a little bright.
