Please review my forum look before !

[ChaibiAlaa]

Hello,

I have launched my forum called "Blogging Talk" and I would like to receive some reviews about :
- The design (Do you like it, the logo, the placement of things, colours ...)
- The forums (Are you satisfied with the categories of forums for a blogger ?)
- The totality (any thing you would like to say !)
I just need those reviews before I add new things and functions and before starting its advertisement and SEO !

Thank you !
I <3 U VB !

You've got a lot of empty forums, Try populating them or removing unnecessary boards. A common problem with new forum administrators is that they make too many empty forums.

Yes, Thanks for the reply but, that have nothing to do with my request :( My forum is brand new one and did even not invited anyone let neither advertised it !

[Speysider]

I know but even I don't make so many forums on sites that are new
I do a hierarchy like this:

announcements
niche discussion
off topic zone

[students_forum]

I agree with Speysider. Farr too many forums!

I had to scroll on endlessly!!! Also, they don't look good as they're empty!

[ChaibiAlaa]

But those are everything related to blogging !

What do you suggest then ?

Now, I have reorganized all my forums, the number is now 5 forums really optimized. Can you get a look and tell me ?

That looks so much better, but the last category contains two forums of the exact same nature. Just make one forum called Forum Support/Feedback.

Also, remove the ads since you're going to earn nothing out of them right now.

One more thing: you've banned two spammers, but you're still leaving their posts there. That only entices more of them to appear. Delete them to prevent real members seeing their posts.
