along those lines, you could do like another forum i frequent, notebookforums.com, and make different styles/color schemes for the forum that u can change on the fly via a dropdown menu

or just a little more modern looking... mebbe since it is a computer forum, we could have it a little Vista-ish? or XP-ish? as in the look/theme...
or i little more modern... kinda like ipodwizard.net... i think they are using the same general layout as us, just differenct icons and colors... i don't really like our icons... they look like they are from the windows 2000 era
but that is just MO

we are talking about looks! and xp (IMO) looks cooler...34erd said:
if i had it my way i would want something vista looking-ish... i dont, which is fine...
also what would be SWEET! would be the home page of CF having like computer news and links to the rules, stickies, most often asked questions on CF, and most popular threads at the time, and on the center of the page there is a big link/picture that says GO TO THE FORUMS!

ok, i've been to a bunch of forums... and CF is really boring... (no offence IAN)
if we do some of these, we could really put the bar up for the standard for computer forums... ( i can see techforums thinking... uh-oh... doom )
like there are just little things we could do... most of this stuff i picked up from ipodwizard.net... and i beleive they use the same setup as us baisically...
SIGNATURES!!!lol... most forums let their members put small picutures in their signature!!! c'mon, we could do that!
Gif avatars... that could be like a special privilage to members that can be trusted not to dishonor that privilage...
Computer Forum Home Page:
If your a member:
on the Right of page: USER CP
Center Of Page: something that like could automaticly update news from computer news website... in the middle of news could be a big bubbly looking link that you CAN't miss, that says: ENTER THE FORUMS
Top of page: Advertisement and advertisement on the mottem (i.e. newegg advertisements on top of page, red bull advertisements on bottom of page )
somewhere on the page there could be links to: stickies, commonly asked questions (make sure that is very visible so people don't start posting without seeing if it has already been asked), and currently hot threads...
a very clean vista-ish looking theme... a theme with "appealing" or "attracting" colors... more clean-cut (but still bubbly), modern icons (we could get some of the CF members that are more skilled in this to help in making this new theme...) not so professional that it would scare people away, but not so unprofessional that it would scare people away (if you know what i mean)
then when u click enter the forums you will see what looks like the current homepage (just whith the new theme w/ the new icons)
make the off topic section so that it doesn't up your post count... (so people can post more conversation and keep a community here without just wanting to up their post counts...)
oh and are we using pre-made theme or premade icons and stuff??

tell me if you want me to post more of my ideas... this i wat should be done IMO

Your ideas are good, but only for certain types of forums I think.
.gif images take a long time to load, compared to .jpeg's and the like. That means people on slow connectiosn would have to wait longer, and it might discourage them from coming on the forums.
same with signatures. the more graphics on the page, the longer it takes to load. it's no problem for us DSL/Cable guys on fast machines. But for people on slower connections, or even faster connections with incredibly slow PC's (like me) the images and fancy graphics make the loading time crawl.
