your current skin is too plain. .so i think you shoudl install a different skin.

you should ask a few good friends of yours to test out your forum to find out any error so you could fix it.. before opening it to the public....

by the way, what is your forum all about and how much did you pay for invision board.. because i want to get either an invision board or vbulletin...

Ya, the skin is really plain. "default = ew" ><. I say if that's a trap17 hosted forum use SMF and not invision, it looks WAY better;

Example of SMF

Very gradient and nice looking default.

The way you have your forum set up is a little un-organized also.

Instead of having you "Freebie" section and "Random stuff" section with the computer and work related stuff, you should have a different section near the bottom for that stuff. Remember, people read from top to bottom, you want them to read about your hosting plans first, not the free stuff. Most people go for the free stuff first.

Instead of calling it "Random stuff" you should just call it maybe General Discussion, looks more profesional which is important for a webhosting website.

Ya I would definately try getting new skins. If you are not very good at css and colors you can get free skins at jaisdog.com invisionize.com or buy some at transversestyles.com They have some good skins but they cost a bit of money.

Only content is yours. Looks is IPB.
