May I just suggest a link back to the home page somewhere maybe next to the banner. Also may I ask about a shoutbox that would be better than pming everyone all the time and you could also show guest and members alike messages of importance.

Yeah, i'll definitely consider them. I was thinking when we get a few more members, i'll switch over to vbulletin maybe.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll see what i can do.

vBulletin is pointless. Phpbb3 is brilliant. There's nothing wrong with it and you've integrated it quite nicely into this website except the link problem at the top which still exists in Firefox.

You could try wp-united which allows wordpress and phpbb3 integration. That is very nice. It's allows cross-posting onto forums which is what I like. Shame the comments don't do the same.

Your favicon doesn't show on the forums.

Here's the list and comparasion of forum softwares. In my opinion NEXTbbs is the best free one. It contains all the features and a lot of add-ons such as I think a shoutbox. But what data storage are you using? Beacuse I know this board is the universal board using all storage formats.

Yeah, I may look into the cross between Wordpress and phpBB. Funny still looks fine for me and i'm running the latest Firefox.

thanks for the home link!!! but i got a few more suggestions though can you add a link for chat on your home page, i think you have one that is. Also more of an extra adding an icon to your website bar.

Again just an extra more than a suggestion.
