This is a migrated phpbb forum, I've had alot of help from my new Vbulletin friends on getting this looking just right.

I'm going to try really hard to keep this forum from getting hijacked like my old phpbb forum did. Plus, I know it's a daunting task but I'd like one be as popular as AVS Forum one day...I love HT and I love vBulletin.

Please oh vBulletin gurus, rate my site and help me decided if going with vbAdvanced would be worht it.

Also, I'd love love love to have a product review moduel on the site where users could post product reviews, their own ratings and stuff...

Thanks in advanced,

Tim

If you make an active link in the post to your site I think more people will give feedback

Looks like a decent setup. Can't give too much props since you're using a generally-available skin, but you've adapted it well. Keep it clean!

My only suggestion, and you'll probably get it from others as well, is that you've got a lot of forums with only a few posts. It might be best to shrink your selection a bit until you've got more traffic and content to fill additional sections.

Keep up the good work

I love HT too - especially Klipsch setups. Maybe I'll join later...

SirAdrian - I have 100% Klipsch setup in my HT....fronts are massive KLF-30's.

Check this...tthome's Home Theater

Notice the rear surrounds...all 100% Klipsch...I love em.

Thanks for the comments...please help me out with the suggestions.

I know the skins are readily available and I've tried to get the skins themed a little bit more around the forum and change it from the standard skin. If anyone knows or would be willing to do a complete customized skin please let me know. I'd obviously be willing to pay for the work but I don't want to spend an arm and a leg. I'm generating nothing on this, simply a hobby. Maybe one day I can claim I'm making some $$ like AVS...we'll see....

NICE SETUP!! You're my new favorite vB.org member

Are you on the Klipsch forums, too? I always see people doing architectural work there, and it is always so interesting to read.

Onto some feedback... personally I really dislike your default skin, but I like some of the others. I also say you have a few too many forums. It becomes confusing knowing where to post your thread, and it will really make some areas look dead. Try crunching them down, and you can use a thread prefix or something to further categorize them.

How would you better organize it??? any help would be appreciated.

I think the first thing you should do is get rid of the three top forums and merge them into one. Moving them to the very bottom would be a good idea also.

The thing I noticed right away is it's "Plasmas", not "Plasma's".

[tthome]

Good recommendation I'll see if I can move it...and change the spelling.

[tthome]

I've moved the top 3 forums to the bottom....which skin do you think would look better as the default??? I have 4...to choose from.
