For some reason I get a ton of guests, but not many people that register, and I'm not really sure why.

Then, about 1/2 the people who do register NEVER POST!!! What is up with that?

Anyway, I'm beginning to think that most of the people who travel must be old folks who just don't get how a bulletin board operates.

I think your forum looks okay, like you said a little jazzing up. However mine is about the same and needs some jazzing up also.

I also run a travel site and your right, most people come and read and never post. I have like 369 members and only like six posts a day average. I even have it open for guests to post, have a quick membership page setup, a photo gallery, etc...etc...and still not much business.

Maybe old folks can't figure it out, I dunno, I try to make it as easy as possible to use, but I am in the same boat as you. I even advertise a bit, lot of hits but few members and posts.


I am thinking about changing my forum to a no-brainer board that appeals to the average non educated person who follows Nascar or Wrestling. Those boards all seem to do well.

I wish you good luck
Mike
