1) I like the logo.

2) There's too much header space. I'm browsing from a wide aspect-ratio screen, and your header takes up maybe 3/8ths of my screen.

3) Get a new theme. It looks kind of "default" or "generic." You can either just grab a theme from somewhere else or create a new one. I don't know how difficult it is.

4) I'm not sure how to advertise and build up a forum. I think it works better if you have a lot of irl friends, and you start a forum together and then other people join. Otherwise, it's kind of difficult to get visitors when everyone sees "2 members" and "1 guest viewing" in the bottom. If you join and post on my forum (in my sig), I will post some on yours.

It looks okay, but what does it have to do with business? It looks like it would be a site about business but instead it has forums that have to do web development. I would change the logo so it looks more weblike and not wall-streetish.

Cheers,

SiteBetter

Sorry, I really don't see what your looking for in this review. All you did was install phpbb and change the header.

If your looking for more forum members I would suggest a custom theme/template.

I have updated it and changed a lot. I now have vbulletin, and a new domain. www.vPlaceLive.com/forums

I did a lot of changes and want to have it all review again.

Ok, now your site is MORE annoying. First what are you doing with the dual scroll bars?



If your trying to load 3rd party scripts, at least visibly hide it.

Second, you still payed for a forum software (open source versions are better) and made a logo. Noting at all makes me impressed by your website.

If your really looking to get more hits/users/ect... MAKE A CUSTOM DESIGN, or install a template, (once again open source forum software has more templates).

Thirdly, when I click an option in your home pages navbar it opens a new window/tab. There was a post yesterday about how its bad to force links to open in new windows/tabs. Users who want to open the hyperlink in a new tab/window will, don't force them.

Lastly, your home page is not desirable either.

My $0.02, Learn more about html, css, js and produce a new design/site. You will be amazed at how many more people will visit your site once it looks professional.

P.S. If you are unable to design a template check out the Open Source Web Design Group, there designs are excellent.

Dude: why did it take you to make the forum several weeks? It's practically default, except for the inefficient and tooooo big logo in the header
