Hi

This is probably my first post, cant remember i ever posted before.

i have just launched today English Premier League forums www.eplforums.com

since its a forum based on premier league i think i should add all the clubs in the league.

but for content, its difficult to add content all by my self so i used rss provided from the clubs and from the premier league website.

As for skin, i have tried few skins but mostly cannot be used by football (soccer) based forum and some others i have no idea how to put my logo in it.

as for traffic, any suggestions?

Everyone says less forums is better, I think your Fine you have to encompass what your about you have done that , I would install the mod that allows you to put specific forum icons in there and put the team logos on there forums

Get a skin first as thats default , And you need to redo your header img to blend with your site and not just stick up there where the vb logo was

Great idea regarding the team logos. i love it and will certainly do it. do you know where it could be found here? or its name so i can find it, i searched without any results.

can you direct me to where can i have a decent custom made skin to go with the forums premier league theme as i am terrible with designs and have no experience in such things.

would certainly change the logo once i get a skin i am happy with.

thank you very much for that great idea of teams logos.
