Firstly good luck with your new forum.I know how difficult it is at the beginning, no one will join because no one else has joined.Be patient and put out the link in as many places as possible and the people will come.One point for you.Change the colour scheme. Unless you love black and orange for a special reason.There are no good colour combinations for reading.Look at this site. There is a reason why most sites have this colour combination. Because the words are the most important thing, not the colour scheme.tjdeals
