The Counter-Strike clan I am in is new and I was put in charge of making the forums. I know they are basic but i dont really know what else to do.

Why don't you take a look at the Snitz Hall of Fame from the homepage to see award winning forums. Then you can get ideas for improvement.

Your forum looks pretty cool, but man, changing out your icons and using a little CSS to change your input areas would really make a world of difference.

Try a search for icon set:

Never mind, here are the links you need:

Here are four places:

Snitz has some here:

  • http://forum.snitz.com/archive/default.asp?catid=5&cattitle=Image+Archive

    Roland has a bunch here:

  • http://www.frutzle.com/snitz/

    D3mon has some here:

  • http://www.buildyourown.org.uk/main.asp?sect=99

    And MeTV has some nice ones here:

  • http://www.tvthemetunes.net/graphics.html

    and css textarea will take you to this link:

    http://forum.snitz.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=41953&SearchTerms=css,textarea

    BTW, your forum reminds me a lot of MeTV's forum, which I believe is down for the moment.

    Personally, I find the green you're using a bit dark, try something a little lighter (I use #7cc72f on my site on a black background). Also the link colours you've chosen don't really tie in with the overall look; the blue clashes with the green. Apart from that, I'd echo what Erin said; add some CSS to your forms and get some new icons (at the risk of blowing my own whistle, my green set would suit your colour scheme perfectly).


    Search is your friend

    Hmmm Why not get XP Icons set from frutzle.com/snitz and change their colour scheme to green, that will make the forum look even more nicer, otherwise its very good!

    For the CSS, did you see this post:

    http://forum.snitz.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=41953&SearchTerms=css,textarea

    If you change the color values, you will notice changes right away! If you have any other questions about CSS, just ask, I'll try to answer if I can.

    I like your MeTV icons; I think they look better than XP icons would.

    Take a look at the tutorials here: www.w3schools.com

    The ASP stuff is great for beginners..

    Personally I like the look of your forum mate, I found it very nice on my eyes and I like the background too.......

    All you need is some content and to get some posting going on and it'll grow for sure

    Just open up the file with a good text editor, and change those few lines as shown in that post, making sure everything looks exactly the same when you're done.

    Again, your forum'd look really great if you just changed the colors of the login boxes, textareas, etc.
