    Hello,

    I created a new forum for General debate of a variety of subjects- politics, education, etc.

    Would like to hear what you guys think of the skin, forum structure, etc.

    Thanks!

    Hey,
    The layout is good but you can properly add some "ads" down the rightside so that looks more productive and you can earn some from it too. Also i would make the rightside tabs diffrent from the middle part, Maybe a slightly diffrent colour so it makes it stand out more. Make a signup part more appealing when you go to the frontpage as in more attention grabbing for them to want them to signup.

    Apart from those little suggestions,
    Pritty awesome good work!

    Thank you!
    I am unsure of how to set up ads, how exactly do I add them to my site?

    We are going to be looking into a better portal at the front as well.
    Is the skin good? I heard from some that it is boring some it is great some it is OK.

    I think the header image is missing or not loading properly. And also check the loading time of the site..

    You should get a logo for the header.

    A couple of suggestions:

    - The text "Your place for debate" in the header is very small, i can hardly read it.
    - The left side looks a bit naked.
    - The site is very "grey" and some people might find that a bit boring.

    But the layout looks good!

    colors are Not affective, customize the colors will give good affect to visitors.

    Try to use site logo, images and all.

    Try to make "debate place" title more attractive.
    You need to change the color scheme.
    If you add a logo it will look more attractive.
    Rest is perfect.
    good work!
