Default Forum Design More Appealing?

Hi Everyone,

I have been working on my forum design (see signature) for a while but I am still having trouble gaining enough regular posters at this stage.

The design seems to me quite clear and crisp. The background changes randomly on page load to add a bit of freshness and there is a positive random quote at the top to help set the tone for the forum.

I have kept advertising to a minimum at this stage so as not to put people off but will add some revenue generating advertising when the forums reach a certain level of activity.

Do you have any suggestions to make the forums more attractive to potential members?

Many Thanks,

James

I just checked it out, I think it has a good clear layout and no need to play with it too much, maybe create some sub groups as the list is quite long - not quite sure how you might organise them.

I really like the colors, there is a lot of energy with them! One thing though, I don't like how the forum is the main page. Your content and articles are kinda lost at the top. I think it should be the other way around. I would prefer the blog to be the main page then have a link to go to the forums. Just a thought

Blue on Blue is a bad choice for fonts.

The website also gives a bit an imprision that it got designed by someone who wants to play with various different items in the design.
8 years ago websites looked like that but today they usually don't.

Talking about this in terms of “bad news” or “bad judgment by business leaders” seems archaic. It’s like describing World War One as “a serious diplomatic concern.”
