howdy i like these forums, but as a few people have said they are pretty dead, and the people that do come on them probably think that they could do with a little spicing up... i dont mean flashing disco lights, it should be simplistic, professional, but attractive. many forums use the default skin for stuff, and to be honest its a good skin but pretty bland.came up with a couple of suggestions for the forums:1. new skin... blues and white makes a good contrast and makes a good interface, but i think the skin could be improved a lot, or a new skin would be even better. making the forums looks attractive would increase the chances of people sticking to them, and coming back to them each time they have a problem.2. on each post where it shows their profile i think it could do with showing what programming languages each member uses the most, or what they specialize in e.t.c. i think this would be a great improvement to the forums, as it gives the person asking the question a bit of a guide of what people around here are capable of. 3. an introductions forum... these are on most forums nowadays n they seem to work a treat. in the welcome email sent to new members you put a link to the intro forum n say post there with ur real name, age, and a few details about yourself, great way to let the members get to know each other and to keep people interested here.just a few suggestions for tha place but i think they would work well

1. Agreed, perhaps the w3schools skin imported into an IPB format?2. Yup, this would be great :)3. Also agree!

No, i don't think putting the w3schools skin in ipb format would be a good idea. No offense, but it's too bland with beige and white and so on...

wasnt suggesting the w3schools skin, but something at least better than default ipb skin, its old, boring, and extreeeeemely bland.
