This is my second one.. didnt use the first for very long before closing the site and opening a new one so I'm still learning..
http://aa.1asphost.com/allaboutthemusic/forum/
Its pretty much still the normal style that the forum starts out as I dont really know how to code ASP so I cant change it much.. try to keep it all the same colour scheme and everyhting though to make it look nice.
Any suggestions on how to improve are appreciated.
I'm surprised I've managed to figure everything out I am only 15 lol.

Ok, went there and you have some areas with black writing on a black background. The site is rather boring being black with the #09CDFF colored text that does show up. All the icons ( ) are in the same type of color as the text and some of your images are not showing up.
Your logo is way to big at 324 X 96 and should be reduced in my personal opinion to no higher that 50 pixles (so the image should be half the size of what you have there). Keep at it and put a few colors, not overbord with the colors, but something to break up the darkness of the site.
Look at what would make you want to come back to a site and join in, and you will find that this will make your users grow.

Can't seem to access any forums on 1asphost; keep getting DNS errors.

This was because I was setting up a birthday MOD at the time you came on I had not uploaded that file yet.. it was only like that for a minute. |

I sorted the black writing that wouldnt show now i think.. i dont really like when colours are different like on this band blazin squads official forum (where i actually found out about snitz forums)
http://forumblazinsquadcom.test.wmg-is.com/forum.asp?FORUM_ID=1
if i was going to add colours what would work with the one i have already do you think? |

Glad you are not offended by my comments. (well I hope not)
If you are going to use a dark back ground, maybe you should have a drak grey (very dark grey)to separate the diffent areas, just a couple of shades lower than the black. So you have black and they a dark grey.
Use like a gold colored icon for new topics icon rather than have the same color icon for the entire site. MeTv has some good icon sets that would just go well with a dark site.
Rather than having the 2 colors, have a couple of differnt ones is what I am saying. I hope that makes sense..

| lol my members would be upset if i alternated the colours of cells because then their signatures background (black) would show and look bad.. i'll think about making some colour changes.. and definetely make sure the log in button shows in future |

i think it is important i make it more obvious for members to what topics and forums contain new posts.. so for the mean time i have added a small 'n' to stand for new for topics and forums with new posts.. its still not standing out completely but while i decide whether to make it a completely different colour this will do
