As you may have noticed, there has been some major updates to the forum. Below is all the updates and some new things that are coming soon.

New Template/Design

Thanks to Christian of phpbb3stlyers.com we have two new designs. You voted the FP1 style to be default and it now is but if you prefer the lighter style you can still use that, just go into your UCP and change it there. We also got rid of the portal and replaced it with a website which matches the forum style. We hope you like them.

Blog
We are also very happy to announce that the Forum Promotion blog has been launched again. We have several staff members who will be writing for the blog and they will all be writing about different things like tips on how to make your forum successful, interviews with Forum owners and lots more. The link to the blog can be located at the top of the forum. At the minute there are a couple of problems with the blog that are being worked on. -😉-

Forum Sponsers
Forum Promotion is giving website and forum owners alike a unique way of promotion. You are able to sponsor any forum on forum promotion and get you banner/link show at the top of just that one forum and at the top of topics in that forum too. This is a much more cheaper but still an effective way to spread the word of your site.

There is no set costs and we will consider each offer although the more active the forum is the more it will cost. It can be a banner ad, a 88x31px size image, a text ad or just a text link.

Portal Text Links & Layout Changes
As mentioned above the portal has now gone. This means that the Portal Text Link's service has now gone, we are thinking of some services that will replace that. If you also haven't already noticed we have added two new forums. Blog Announcements is where all announcements and updates regarding the blog and we added the seeking employment forum is where you can post advertisements if you are looking for a job. Also after quite a couple of request's we have added a website promotion forum which can be located here . There have also been a couple of little changes to the layout.

Competition
There will be a big competition soon with big prizes up for grabs but more information about the competition will be posed later on.

New Ranks Added

After a request from some members we have added some new ranks. The ranks now go like this :
- Yet to post-0 posts
- New to FP-1
- Promoter-4
- Promote A Bit-25
- Promote Alot-100
- Mass Promoter-175
- Successful Promoter -175
- FP Regular -250
- Addicted to FP-600
- Part of the Furniture-1000
- Super Poster -1500
- FP Legend -2000

We hope you enjoy,
FP
 
I like it! Aw you got rid of portal text links though. xD I just applied for one too, oh well. It looks good. ^_^
 
I felt the same with forum advertizer ; but now i prefer it, just like with the forum advertizer conversion.
 
I'll admit, I missed a heart beat when I clicked the Forum Promotion link from inside my bookmarks. The site and forum both look great, but may I suggest you change the main page to index.php, that way you can use PHP code within it, plus display the latest topics on the main page? It would be a great thing to do.

Also, I don't quite like how most of the ranks say "FP". It should say Forum Promotion. Some people (including me) don't like seeing the forum acronym more than the actual name.
 
We will at some point make it index.php when we finish it as we will have feeds for the latest news and blog posts. As for latest posts that is not something we would be adding.

As for the ranks it makes it kinda more related to the forum and most don't contain FP (unlike you claimed) in the rank... 4 do and 8 don't.
 
Darn Christan has to implement those stupid javascripts that keep you from dragging text / right clicking -evil-

*disables javascript* -razz-

Looks good guys, although, the template alignment is off a bit from matching the forum style, as is the blog theme. If you guys need any help with any of the coding (like recent blog posts, forum posts etc.) on the main site let me know and I'd be glad to help you out -D-
 
The alert can easily be taken away but it isn't really a problem.
 
Honestly that stuff doesn't stop anyone from stealing your content, if they really want to rip it they can just view the source -😉- I'll shut up now about that -lol-
 
Thanks for the feedback everyone! ~cheesey_grin~

As for the javascript, it wasn't supposed to be there. The FP site is based off another site i made for someone, and i forgot to remove the codes ~lol~
