Help with layout! 500FP!

[Mr. Duck]

Ok, i say 500fp but i will give 50fp for each good idea so it will add up 😛

I need to know what you like and dislike about my layout - what should be added or removed or what should be changed. Thanks 🙂

I know i need to focus on stuff more like computers etc.

Because it's a new forum, there shouldn't be too many forums else it will look completely empty and no one will join. You can always add more when you grow a bit. Subforums can be useful, just not too many. I'd do something like this:

I hate seeing new sites copying FP with the Sports/Humour Centre - most people aren't interested and no one posts in them

You only need 3 categories.
1. Includes news/feedback forum, general discussion (lounge), and forum support.
2. Should include technology/technical discussion such as mobile phones, brands like Mac, Windows, and general tech discussion.
3. Support, such as help with phones, computers, possibly forum/website support.

Personally what I would do.
