I've been working on cleaning up my crafts forum before I really concentrate on promoting it. Can you guys give me your opinion on the site and where exactly i'm going wrong? Thanks
Its doesn't look that bad. I prefer a darker theme myself, but that's just my own thing. There is a few things you can do: -center the forum, it looks too funny off-centered like that -Take down the news part. People like to scroll less and that url you got in there is taking \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ This much space. Its kind of pointless -I would put the banner you got in the middle where that news thing is. Ad forum spliting is horrible for a community On a brighter side the place looks to be doing pretty well.
I like the look and feel of your forum and I have also checked out your other sites. I think they have a lot of potential. In my opinion you should concentrate on content rather than the look, the content is what draws people in. They spend more time looking around the site and are more likely to join the forum that way. Get your other website up as soon as possible.
Very nice. The only thing I noticed was that the forum titles, particularly "General Crafteroo Board" are too light, they could be bolder. You could also add a tagline beneath the title in the header so visitors know what the site is about. Good Luck
It looks good to me.I like the design and color schemes.But the whole body is slanting to the right in all of my browsers(opera,firefox,IE).You can align them to center.Thanks.
