Though membership is increasing, I am wondering if anyone knows how I might improve it.

Is the text representing the number of viewers per board intentionally very big? I personally would prefer for the text to be the same size as the rest of the text.

I would encourage you to correct the capitalizations and grammar within your board names. "Peaking interests" should say "Piquing Interests." Peaking and piquing mean different things.

I think you should work on creating a banner that speaks to your forum's personality. It'll be the first thing people see. So, it should be a good representation of your forum. If you aren't going to create a banner, I would encourage you to change the title to "Political World."

I tell everyone to not start off with too many boards. It makes your forum look deader than it is.

I don't think you need the box for recent threads to the right. ProBoards already has a link for recent threads. That's just my personal preference though.

The background may look better as a darker color, but overall, the color scheme blends pretty well together.

Those are just my first impressions. I didn't look through everything. I wish you the best of luck with your forum.

Edit:

I hope I don't sound overly critical. I'm just giving you a personal opinion. If you disagree with anything, feel free to ignore what I said. This is ultimately your forum and your decision.

Thank you for the advice, much of it I will implement....makes sense.

[tecoyah]

Implemented....check it out.

tecoyah,

Log out and click on the link. See if you get the same error as a guest. It might have to do with a plugin. I'm not sure.
