    Question Weather forum critique

    OK, my forum has been going for about 12 months now and its about time I took the plunge and asked for a critique.

    I've tried to add interesting features and mods to encourage and retain members, whilst keeping it fairly simple for guests. Just last week I added VBESO, so I would love to hear what you guys have to say about my efforts, without the rose tinted glasses I view things through.

    And advice, hints or tips would be most welcome

    I think your forum looks very good. I'm not a big fan of the pixel adverts. I think it takes away from your professional image, but if it's generating revenue for you then that's fine.

    Maybe a nice logo or template header & your image will boost somewhat. That should help make a better first impression for your visitors.

    Thanks for the feedback Joe, I always find a logo is the hardest thing to sort out, so thats probably why its so simple. I will put that on my "to do list" though.

    Does anyone else have any feedback please?

    Looks good. Interesting topic. You should install vBWeather: Live Weather Info For Your vBulletin Members - vBulletin Modder.

    You should remove "Clicking on the adverts helps raise funds to support the forum." as you may be banned from AdSense by having that.
