Please critique my politics forum

[Douglas142]

I would appreciate some critique on my forum, including the URL I have chosen for my forum. Here is the frontpage:


US and World Politics Forum

Here is the forums page:

US and World Politics Forum - Powered by vBulletin


I want to attract two "crowds." The Democrat/Republican partsian crowd and the internationalist/foreigner crowd (Europeans/Chinese/Middle Easterners/Russians/Africans/Indians etc). That's why I called it "usandworldpolitics."

I do eventually plan to add some AP news stories "bots" to the front page and put more links there too. I'd also appreciate some advice on how to do that. I really don't know yet.

Thanks!


Cheers,
WEB

First i would remove powered by vBulletin from title.

Second thing i would do is get the current logo left aligned and maybe get a new logo. I will also get a new style as regular vBulletin style is so regular.

I have been wondering a long time how to get rid of the "Powered by V-bulletin" part. I tried getting rid of it in my Admin Panel but it didn't work. Could you tell me how to do that please?

Seconldy, I think you mean I should get rid of this:





Replace it with something else right? I'm working on that.


Thanks. I'll ask about the styles later.

[HOW-TO] Remove "Powered by vBulletin" from Your Page Titles

Yep that is the logo i am talking about. There is no color match at all with the logo and the style.

For the style i advise you to get a paid skin. You can get a list of paid skins from here http://www.vbseo.com/vbulletin/

Great advice, man. I'm still working on it. *Phew! Thanks!

By the way, uhhh, if you want to talk about the upcoming elections and all that, I know a good place for ya.

vvvvvvvv

Keep up the good work man!

Running a political forum can be a pain the @$$! Some people just lose their cool when debating politics...haha

[Douglas142]

Thanks. Your forum looks pretty cool. Seems like a lot of forums though.

Sure is a lot of forums. The members all voted on it...so whatever is best for them

I had a small number of forums starting off which was great, but it got to the point where you had to browse through a couple of pages of threads just to find the one you replied to.
