Check out my advertising forum so far...

This is what I've got so far, I'm probably not going to make a proper homepage for it, so the homepage it has now may be a bit 'permanent' but I'm doing heavy construction on the forum. The idea is to get a working community of people who share links to their websites etc. All free of charge of course. Here's the link

Well done. Looks as though you're up and running. :cool:
By the way, looks as though the confirmation code is not showing, so people won't be able to register.

Yes, I've been playing with templates, It'll look better soon!
Anyone wanna suggest any templates? The forum is running phpBB 2.0.23

==Edit==
I may just make my own template based off of subSilver, I have a bit of experience with it.

Aha, just noticed you've changed it back to the original colours. Forum works great however. Loads super fast. I registered, made some posts, and all of it was fast and effortless. Well done so far. :good:

Now there are two themes to choose between, check it out :) I'm working on things under the hood now(for SEO)

This is weird. There was a new theme, then after I logged in, it reverted back to the old grey theme. I don't see it, is there a spot where one can change the themes? Used to be one could find that at the bottom of the phpBB Forum page. I.e. an option to change the themes, and then when one logs in phpBB will remember the last one one had chosen.

Nope. I don't have a UCP. Only a profile. Remember you're an Admin. So you've got everything. So what you see is not what the members see.

Ya, it's in profile, sorry, scroll down on profile until you find "Preferences" and then "Board Style:" and there is a dropdown box to select different ones, here, I'll show you with a screeny on a test account I made

The forum looks great! I could barely tell you were under construction. The only way I knew if from you saying so on here and on the front page. Great job so far, I think it's a great idea too :)

That front page me be a bit permanent, hehe, maybe for a few months, I'm not going to work on the home page until later, it'll be something simple though, a contact page or something
Whatever I can whip up in Kompozer, hehe

I'm also working on adding forum categories and forums in general, any suggestions?
Is it possible to give us a short background of what projects free ads mean relative to the Forum? How does it work? What topics will it typically cover and maybe an example?

Basically free advertisements for the masses, divided into categories.
