We are trying to get an idea on how come our blog readers are expanding but our forums users are far from few.
If you wouldn't posting your ideas that would be great. Let us know if there is anything you would like to see or something we are missing.

hi
i read your forms from time to time and i havent posted before but anywass, i think what the form is lacking is actual form sofware people know how to use you should use something like vbulletin or invision power board as it will look better and possibly attract more users also i don't think the software is right for when you board gets too big it will be really hard to manage

The forum is very clean looking and although I like it, I believe the point Melinda was trying to make is that the text entry points are not always that well defined. Its possible that she is saying, make the text entry points and hyper links more pronounced and that in turn will make the forum more user-friendly for those that are less web savvy but wish to participate.

Yea, I see what you mean tkboxer. It just takes a little bit of getting used to the entries being below the topics. And the create new threads in the category main page.

Luck of content in the forum might be it, not much to talk about, anyways as its a new thing, give it some time and users will use it, maybe add a shoutbox, I had shoutbox in my forum and it did boost posts/threads 
Well just an idea.
