Thanks for all the great tips - I greatly appreciate them!

I understand the concern about the number of forums currently available and will definitely look at cutting back on them. In creating this forum, I started out with the mind set that I was going to create a forum ready for a large user base even if I didn't have one yet. But it won't hurt to cut back and build up as time and necessity dictates.

I do agree with working with the graphics and to continue tweaking them towards the Utah theme. My digital art skills are so-so, so that is one minor hindrance on my part, but there's only one way to get better!

KTBleeding, yeah I've been mulling over the latest news cat. It's probably going to be the first cut. I have been trying to "woo" over the KSL posters being they are pretty opinionated which is perfect for a forum! So thought an RSS feed might help, but meh.

Caddyman, I really liked how the MD's forum incorporated the state flag in it's buttons so that may be something I might duplicate later on if you don't mind. But was really impressed with what you've done for both forums and will probably refer back to them in the future!

I kinda like the stats at the bottom, but as you said, it is more personal preference and that is why I have at the bottom instead of the top like some of the other forums I have visited.

The banner image I'll probably play around with as time permits, and the custom welcome header is pretty important as well. That's another one of those "need to do" but haven't yet.

Thanks again for all your inputs! It definitely helps to have other designer/admins opinions as a resource in this endeavor!
