I also recommend you to use this plugin:

This will add a unique icon next to each forum, since you have a whole lot of boards on the various car manufacturers, it would be perfect to spice up the actual forum display. But be sure to test it out on a test installation first.

And a word of advice is to never place ads at start, I mean you'll only earn a few dollars a month unless you get really lucky. Having ads and no content don't really go together IMHO.

Thanks for the opinion. I'm trying to figure out how to make the search box more rounded and not so outdated looking, and possibly moving it out of the navbar. As for the mod you suggest, I will be prolly adding that. The ads are there just for now to keep those spots, and I'll be removing them probably once the site is 100% done.

I admire you trying something different with placing the logo in the navbar. But it just seems wrong to me.

Other than what I've mentioned ==> your forum is basically an out-of-box vBulletin install.

HTH,

Ouch! I appreciate the review. It's a work in progress. I really liked the placement of the logo I have. You are the second person to bring that up however, so maybe I will be rethinking that. Any reason why it doesn't seem to go there?
