I changed the layout to consolidate it more, what do you guys think? :cheer:

I like it, I would change the first category to Site Discussion and add some text on the header. 🙂

Looks good. I'd suggest giving the name of the site a bit more prominence. Either by adding it over the header graphic or by making it larger and bolder, where it appears just below the graphic. But overall it does look very attractive and appealing.

That would make more sense. I changed it, thank you. 🙂

I would agree. This is one of the things we'll be changing with our next theme. Especially the header, it needs work. Thanks for your feedback. 🙂

arr The looks are good but don't go well with your niche.

A very small first step suggestion I would give you is to add a forest or camping sort of background for your theme. You will immediately feel the impact and the feel.

The forum looks nice and simple. I like the theme, but I think you should make the forum feel more like the niche. If there was no content to the forum or no name I wouldn't guess that the forum was a camping forum. Maybe try giving the background a more "camping feel" to it.

I also suggest you get a logo to replace or put alongside the header.

Hopefully my feedback has given you a few ideas to consider. 🙂

I agree with SurfinWind, the plain "Camping Forums" text just isn't enough. I'd recommend making a banner for your site that clearly but creatively displays your forum name so people get more clarity out of it. As an addition, personally, i'd follow the trend of many other forums and put the "Off Topic Chat" category underneath the main forums. It's just traditional in my opinion. And in it, maybe create some subforums to look at.
The forum is well on its way. Keep it up pandaa 😀

Thanks for your feedback guys. I'll think about it and talk it over.

We're getting a better theme VERY soon, it will be outdoorsy. 🙂
