This is my first attempt at putting together a forum, and it is definitely a work in progress, but feedback, comments, suggestions, etc.... would be greatly appreciated.

URL: www.lawforum.com

I have already been told by several people that they recommend design modifications, but my initial focus is on content.

I would be particularly interested to hear recommendations on additional topics and features that you might recommend.

Thank you for your brutal honesty.

Regards

Lawpal

Hey lawpal, first thought of your forum is that the design should be modified, a custom theme would look really well if its put together correctly.

Content wise it seems very well, several interesting topics on your forum. Build a strong community base and you will have some success!

Good Forum, although I do highly recommend something custom.

As I said, I agree that customized design will be forthcoming, but I don't want to dress it up quite yet, not until I put a little meat on the bones first. However, soon enough.

Great idea for a website..........couple thing's i would change, first would be some forum button's, you can go to the style's section here and then click on button's and find a bunch of em to add to your site, this will give it a bit of personality.......2nd thing i would probably do is move that active thread's block to the bottom of the site....

anyways, great start to your site, i really like the idea........

You have an excellent domain there, and Im sure enough interest to make the forums quite large. I can't really say what hasn't been said already ... you have a great topic for your boards and it could use something custom.

I would eventually consider moving the active threads block down, like said above, but think its fine for now. Your just starting up, so you want some active threads to be noticed. Ive always found it hard to have a new forum with little members and so many boards at a time.

Good luck, looking good so far.
