    Have you got any ideas on how we can improve this forum? If so, then post here or make a new thread in this section.

    We are thinking about getting a domain once this forum gets a bit active and maybe a new template.

    Post your ideas below.

    One thing you need to sort out for your forum it just the logo doesn't not look right compared to the default theme logo give the logo the effect of a cleared reflection... do it in photoshop the cocon font really looks good with this themes and its also the default font for the people at phpbb.com

    I would like to apologise for the inconvenience, but I will be sorting that out and we will soon be moving to a new host and we should be getting a new domain soon.

    If the SQL error pops up, then refresh the page and it should work if not try refreshing again. If not go to the home page of this forum and it should as normal.

    This error is really annoying to me aswell, but don't worry, this should be sorted out soon.

    Thank You for using this forum.

    I don't like the theme. It was well done, but it's gotten to the point where everyone uses it, so it gets boring.

    Thanks for the ideas.

    They will be taken on board. The logo should be edited and we are getting a new banner made.
    Also, after this forum gets active. I'm getting a new theme made for this forum or maybe get this theme edited slightly.

    There is a big possibility of adding a forum currency so you get points for posting and there might also be a shop where you can use the points to buy virtual and real stuff.

    I would like to see a forum currency, and possibly the advertisements manager, so that people can be encouraged to buy adspace from you.

    Yes, we are going to add a forum currency so you get points when you make a post/topic.

    These are the things we are working on doing
    Domain
    Better Host
    Forum Currency
    Affiliate Bar and the bottom

    You have added the userbar which is okay but change the colour of it blue and gold do not match black, grey and red

    You mean the rank image?
    It doesn't fully match but I got another one. I will change it to that later.

    EDIT: Rank images updated!

    No, why?
    There isn't much point in using a mod for rank images.

    I'm getting that installed, but it might be better to do that after we change host.
