    Nice the new layout and design look really clean and professional. The scrolling news line is nice as well. The header is a tad plain, maybe a logo but I guess that isnt too necessary for this. A favicon would really finish up the revamp. Good work.

    I really like the design and layout. Maybe try making a logo. That would make it stand out. If you ever need one, i could do it for cheap.

    Other than that, it is a great overall forum. Actually one of the best layouts i have seen.

    Can i ask where you you made the forum and with ..

    Also where did you find that clean template. I am very curious.

    Who do you host with?

    The logo looks pretty good
    I would add some more forum descriptions and maybe a box up top to let us know what the forum is about ;)

    keep it up

    looks much better.

    Did you just use a ftp and set it up that way?

    Who is your host?

    Design looks nice, the only thing missing is traffic.

    Off course with lot of traffics, you'll get more contents from your users...

    hi, honestly - there is a lot of work must be done more, the whole header, welcome guest and news take lots of space, so on my screen I need to scroll to see Forum list by itself. Most of visitors will not do that, so optimize navigation, sizes on objects to fit max within screen size without scrolling. Example - take RSS down to footer and so on

    Do you really need so many subforums? I mean it's not even populated yet and you've segregated it so much.

    I'd rather you let it grown in fewer sections now and make more categories later.

    i dont like the colors but thats just me. I like the ideah though but the different colors turn me off. just a little advice Stick with your forum though make more post in thier. looks small what i found out with my forum members wont join unless they see it active and lots of differnt post and topics. Boreing as hell talking to yourself but then members start to come in and it gets somewhat easier. i just started mine little over two months ago. Hope i dont sound rude just trying to be honest.

    Looks good. I didn't see your website before the changes but from the above responses you seem to be going in the right direction.

    Good Luck!
