Your design is nice, but I agree. You have alot of forums for a new board, new members would get lost! I would shorten it to maybe 5-10, even though 10 is alot too....

What are the most common mistakes you see new admins making?

It is far better to have everyone post to just a small number of forums so that everyone can see what everyone else is doing. This mixing of topics and people is the fundamental essence of community. Once you have a million posts and a few thousand unique posting visitors every day, then you can think about adding more forums so that topics don't get lost.

There is some Advice...

Live Wire - Thanks for the advice... I guess it is back to the drawing board for me

MarcoH64 - Sorry about inviting people to the forum... I did not know that was unethical

Waaaay too many forums. You shouldn't have any more than 10-12 forums at the start.

As for your style, not much has been done, still looks too "default" to me, even in terms of colour.

Yes the forums, there are to many I know, like my last post says I am already planning to work on that.

As for the style I think it looks quite a bit different from the defaul actually only most colors I kept because they fit what I was going for so why change them? I am working on changing more icons and buttons as I think the default ones look a bit tacky but then again I only bought the board last week and these things take time.

Thank you for you comments anyway...

Cheers
