maybe lower the "user online" box down until your site gets more activity. maybe trade the weather box with the online box.
I understand the ad placement, best spots and all but.. I'd maybe find a thin center block that will scroll the newest threads or newest news.
btw, I would make it only two columns like NSRA
i see "seo by zoints" in the footer but the url's aren't changed.. i would remove that if you don't need it... I'd also remove the line breaks in most of the footer text. ( like I did here ) remove all that dead space, at least I think it looks better.

now the index page

some of the same things from the cms, header and footer..
you have some custom icons, and some that all look the same.. either do them all, or do none.. consistence will look better to users. ( even though I can't say much,,heh )
you have a lot of forums,, I'd think about arranging in sub-forums or the category mod
think about making all usergroups [b]old like how I have here also.. it's personal preference, but I think it looks better :p
your archive is messed up :2confused:

okay,, that's all from me for now..
Let us know if you have any questions

What do you mean about Zoints seo and urls in the footer how is it suppose to look I really have no clue.

Actually I have no clue why it looks like that lol. Thanks for pointing out to me.

Also I made the usergroups in bold but the fonts are too big when you view posts. Is their a way that I can change the fonts displaying user names and titles?

Re: Review my newest forum

you should be able to make the font size how ever big u want with <font size=""> tag

and the "this site useses zoints SEO" in your footer is one thing I was tlaking about.. are you using the zoints seo ? maybe I don't know what it looks like..

as for the other footer suggestion..

look for the <br /> line breaks in the footer template and remove a few..
they might be <p> also, but I'm sure they are line breaks

Re: Review my newest forum

I have it enabled and I have no clue how Zoints Seo is suppose to look like lol. Also if I change the size of the usergroup fonts will it affect them throughout the whole forum where usernames are displayed?

Re: Review my newest forum

actually. I'm not sure how it will affect the username.. you don't have to use bold. was just an offer.. it's what I did here..

and I wouldn't install something that I don't know how it will work ;)
This is one thing you want to be careful with SEO..
