Critique welcome

The header is quite nice but the style looks incomplete to me. More needs to be done to the tables as they still look default.

I'm getting an error:

I like it! The only suggestion I would make would be to make your forums fluid like your main site

[bravokilo]

Really like the site! The only thing I would change is I would take out all first person references and comments regarding the site itself. Think newspaper or magazine. They do everything they do format and content-wise without fanfare or self-reference. They just do it. Once you start bringing "I" into it it starts looking more and more like a glorified blog, which is NOT what you want.

I think you will have great success with this site, interest is huge and advertising dollars are abundant.

Feature articles from professional writers would work very well here, I would keep a pulse on what the hottest threads are and then seek some writers to submit content. A good way to get inexpensive content is to scour magazines for them, once you find something you think would work on your site, then contact the author and ask him to do a rewrite or condensed version of the article for your site. In the writer's market, you can usually get rewrites for pennies on the dollar, with no risk of infringement. Savvy writers do it all the time.

Looks pretty good Jon.

Just the header is nice but well done.

Just thought i'd wake this topic up, as i've recently redesigned the homepage, and pretty much everything is different from when i started this...

[Triggerhappy]

Can iask how you got som many posts and members in such a sort space of time?

Still struggling here

Thanks

[Jon.]

I didn't think i had that many :lol:

Well, this is the 2nd wipe of the forums, so most of those members have built up since february, and then had to re-register when we had a fresh start. As for the posts, they just sorta built up.
