Howdy folks,

I am putting together a small fashion forum - with a primary focus on Women's fashion and Lifestyle type threads. I was hoping to get a little feedback from the experts on Style Forum. I'm not looking for free advertising or to step on anyone's toes - Style Forum is the best and always will be.

1. How does the forum look?
2. Does it function well?
3. Any suggestions for new categories?
4. Do you like the front page slide show.

Like I said, I'm just looking for a little feedback and by no means want to break any rules around here. If this post does in fact do that then please move it or kill it.

The site is live but very new...

Thanks very much!

The forum is way too cluttered to be usable. Why do you only use 40% of the screen space?

There is a very good reason why most forums use something based off the phpbb style, it is very usable. Your site is not welcoming with its sharp contrasts and colours, having an image as a background doesent help.

If you actually make it a site based on the concept of having a "forum" and not a fashion site it will be more attractive to users.

Good luck!
