Overall I like it. It's different then most forums you see online. The only thing that I would suggest is making the font a size bigger. Perhaps I'm getting old but, it seems a bit small for my eyes. Best of luck!

I agree, font is far too small to the point it looks like it is breaking.

You have many forums for a start-up message board. You're gambling on dilution of discussions.

The font is to small as is mentioned above, but the design isn't to bad. However the advertisement area looks hideous. Also, there are a bit to many forums. To many forums to start off can be very overwhelming and unnecessary.

Okay let's have a look. Okay definitely need to make the font size bigger here. Get right on that and do it right away. A couple sizes more should do it here and there.

I like the glassy feel and icons to your site in the header and you can navigate through the site with them but it would be better if the one you was on went and stayed bright green and not greyed out like the others.

Anyway I see you have a bunch of categories, members and posts already. I'll join up and post an intro to test the waters and see what kind of response I get. You do have cats I'm interested in and ones for blackberries and iphones etc but not one for just mobile phones?

Anyway what kind of experience in forums or the web do you have? All you have said is check this forum and let you know what we think. Is it even your forum? lol Are you planning to run it for life? Just little questions that come up

Guys you can adjust with the font size, on the top left you will see 3 "A";s. Click each one to make the font size small, medium, large.

I made my first forum when I was 12 (about 6 and a half years ago). So I have some experience with forums. I recently started up a network and plan on hosting/opening MULTIPLE websites. This is just one of a few.

Thanks for the feedback guys!

I understand you might have experience, but generally, a font that small will turn people off before they even notice the button. A default font size should be 10 - 12 pixels...

not to bad...one question though... is this forum going to be more of a dedicated "systems" type forum??? ive found a lot of systems forums ive been to while researching an issue for work, people dont respond for days and sometimes weeks.

I'll change it up then so the default is "medium" sized. Thanks for the feedback!

I'm hoping to get a few people who can moderate the "questions" part of the forums DAILY. not a DEDICATED systems forum, but a big chunk of it.
