Hi guy's here is my attempt at a nice looking phpBB forum and experimentation with ad placement.

http://www.fitnessforums.org

There is the left skyscraper, the bottom text links and the firefox referal link in the footer "Powered by phpBB. Theme made for FitnessForums.org by Pax. Site is optimized for Firefox. Get Firefox with Google Toolbar"

Here are some screenshots of logged in and logged out so you don't have to register.

Thanks

Also, i'm interested in speaking to Australian forum admins, MSN me pazstyle -hotmail.com

Looking good Mark, you just need some members now.
May I suggest AdWords?

It looks pretty good. I think it is a nice clean design.

But you definetely need some traffic and members now! It has a distinct ghost town feel to it.

Loving the forum skin Mark, although the logged in skin looks a little bland without the ads as there is no side bar. Maybe keep the side bar and just replace it with the stuff like usercp, pm's and the likes.

Hopefully you can get it going, nice work with the skin

Looks good. The bottom part of phpbb could use some work, but it still looks very good! :thumbup:

Thanks guy

Yeh the logged in skin will get the sidebar back when I install some hacks and text link ads :P

It says and 'share', share what?

Share information, experiences, recipes, exercises, stories.

That's what communites are for, sharing with each other to learn

Thanks for the positive comments.
