Colors and Banner?

I really like this forum (Except that it is inactive) but I think that the colors and banner/logo could be better.
I think there is to much white first of all which makes it a little boring.
The banner is kind of sketchy which could be improved if you hired a Graphic Designer.
Also the ads are very annoying so you should go in the Admin Panel and change that so that only guests can see it.
The navigation buttons should be placed in the middle.
You should remove the words under the Banner/Logo.

That's what I was thinking so good luck with the forum!

The inactivity is due to it just being opened a couple of days ago, so this will hopefully change as time progresses.

As for the too much white, I am going to update it today to make the forums have images next to them to make the site more lively and colorful, hopefully this will fix that issue.

I'm not very good with graphics and I don't even have photoshop, so I had to get someone off of another site to create this. I'll look into getting some new ones, and if you're any good with graphics, you're more than welcome to make a banner (which I would decide if it is good enough to replace the current one).

With this forum software, I don't think that there's a way to disable adds for members. I made it so Guests and Members are the only ones to see it, so if someone has a different rank, they won't see it. I may create a usergroup which automatically subscribes users with 0 posts to get around this, but I'm not sure if that will work.

The navigation buttons have been moved to the center, tell me if you think this looks better.

The description has been removed.

Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate the input!

I looks so much better! You should think about changing the signature separator too.

Good idea. Any suggestions on what it should be changed to? The thing is, people's screens differ in size, so a divider which goes all the way across on one person's screen might go too far or not far enough. I made it a little longer though.

What you should do is make it that line that you have and then put it like this:

Code:

[center]_________________________[/center]

So then it will go in the middle.
Check out my forum for more help because i can just show you some cool tips and such.
Click my signature and then just register there.

Thanks for the info, I just made it as such.

Does that deserve a +1 reputation for me?
