As I just posted in the Paid Services forum I need help with my foum.

I just did a completely new overhaul of the main site that is based on Wordpress.

My problem is I get over 600 unique visitors a day and get 0 registrations on my forum.

Main SIte:
http://www.warmislands.com/
Forum:
http://www.warmislands.com/tropical_island_forums/

1) I know I need someone to design or move headers into the forum to give it a unified look.

2) nexialys, member here just gave me good advice: "you also need a default display to your forum., having a complete custom forum for a basic site is not good, people do not recognise a forum there."

So I need help with that. My problem is I have many forums as I am trying to emulate what other travel forums do. People want to go to a specific forum for travel information on that specific island area.

3) I get many "views" according to my Cpanel stats of my registration page but no sign ups. Could there be something wrong with the reg process?

This is related to the WTH post I placed here:

Thank you in advance.

The jobs to be done on your forum is first to be integrated in design, as you indicated in #1, then making it fluid in navigation... you want to replicate how other travel forums are built, but the question is "do you think their style is really helping navigation, or is it just a style?" ...

What I mean is other travel sites have many categories out of necessity and I have to do the same so the navigation and design need to include that.

Love your site. the homepage and forums are nicely put together.

one suggestion is to make a new forum for non island related general talk, maybe a test/suggestion forum as well.

but overall, excellent site. what is the image rotater you are using on the homepage?
