New Forum using PHPBB3 - Opinions Please

[Zascar]

Hey Guys,

New site, very basic just a forum but still interested in what you think:

www.irishdjforum.com

What do you think of the Template and the Logo? Graphic Design is really not my strong point so I life to keep things simple.

Any feedback appreciated.
Thanks

That's a very nice theme design.
You haven't gone over board either on categories. I would leave it like it is now until the board becomes active.... maybe add a Hip-Hop/Rn'B category though.

I would move 'It is currently Thu Aug 16, 2007 11:27 am' and 'View unanswered posts • View active topics' to the next row up. After this modification you have a free area advertising area.

Cheers. Found the theme on www.phpbb3styles.com

I'm crap at graphic design so just put a very simple text logo in a modern font. Will update this later probabaly.

Going to leave it ad free for the time being, but thanks for the idea!
Any more suggestions welcome!

I've actually redone my other forum with a similar style too. (PHPBB3 is ten times better than PHPBB2, so much nicer/easier to use and manage...)

Anyway, I used a similar template which was simply all grey and black, liked it at first but then thought it was a bit boring. So I brought in the logo from the main site and changed the link colours to red, I think it looks a little brighter and more interesting... link

Any comments?
