Thanks alot for your tips princeton. Ill definatly try and do most of the things on that list best I can.
I have actually today renamed the forum to TalkSonic and am going to make the SonicThehedgehog.net site into a portal and news page to link to the other sites. So it wont just be a splash as it is now.
For the login box would putting password in the password box (like username is in the username box) be all I would need to do to that?
The Home and Forum link I will try to develop to stand out more but at the moment they both link to the same place heh. Ill make sure that its done for the portal launch.
Thanks again for your help. I want to make the forum be the best it can be.. So any tips people give are really appreciated
