Need your advice if possible, design, ways of improvements, etc. ? http://aquatropicalfish.com/forum/index.php Thanks a lot!
alot... design does not go with your theme "aquatic fish." It's just your default theme. Header logo is, no offense, NOT GOOD. Get rid of the Thanks Giving header... its bad if you have two header images. You will need to hire some one with bit more design knowledge. Changing the header image/theme. Don't take offense, this is a honest professional review. Edit: btw, your main site is very nice. Header works perfect with rest of site. Somehow you just didn't try on the forum.
The design looks nice and I like the fish concept along the topic category of the forums. Though I don't like seeing pop ups on it.
The forum is not bad but the Happy Thanksgiving banner at the very top of the page above your header looks out of place you should consider removing it. You should make different versions of the banner in your header for special occasions rather than adding another banner above.
Looks like it already has everything. A forum, a blog, site layout is nice, good use of color....All I can say is well done.
