The logo looks a little bit out of place. You might try making it part of a rectangle that extends across the entire page horizontally.

And, you might want to try using a brighter more cheerful theme for a travel site

I think you should get a more professional logo and the text in the "» Welcome, guest!" section is too large you should make it smaller.

Thanks people,

Re colour scheme: Green and Gold are the Aussie colours hence the current scheme.

Re logo: It does look a little out of place i admit. But in the overall scheme of things how important do you think a logo is in attracting people to register?

Re content: The forum is only 1 month old so i am slowly working on building the content. Its not a fast process unfortunately, and i am on a limited budget as im a student.

Thanks for your help so far

hey nice forum...
Well i'm not a techie, i'm a person who looks at usability and function. To me i think your forum is just fine. Only one suggestion though, maybe you could add some type of panel for news updates or something of that nature. I like the simplicty of it.

thanks natdog.

I deliberately tried to keep it simple, as all the other travel forums are very cluttered and hard to navigate.

I like the idea of a news feed, so i'll look into it

Looks good, I like the ease of use, if you can make it a bit more 'flashy' could be nice but as a newby myself good work!

Nice site. Might want to add more stuff to the right side of the screen. Also might want to expand it to include other countries for more viewers and users

I would probably think about moving the logo down to the left of the banner ad and removing the ads from the top right. You could put more ads below the left-hand menu as there's plenty of space there - especially when you get more popular and the number of threads increases - and they'd be more visible to people who've scrolled down to read the forum. Good luck!

Thanks JP,

To be honest im not really making any money from advertising, but i have put it there, so that users get used to it, as opposed to implementing it in the future when/if my forum is big enough to generate revenue
