I know this is about invisionfree...but I have a poetry message board, I've had it since November 2003, and I only have 38 members. I have loads of friends who write poetry but they won't join...they ignore me completely and I never beg them.. I added my site to addme.com, but still, there's the occasional sign up but they never post...How do yall survive?

Well if you like it then stay whit it. dont worry if they dont post or not. you should always follow your heart. And you can add your forums to alot of other things to like a vote button. You should also have someting to make members come back. make them feel welcome. thats what i can think of rigth now. Edit: you should also read this http://invisionfree.com/forums/support/ind...showtopic=25296 it will help you. |

Well a vote button is were lots off ppl place there forum our site to vote for them in a top list. and lots of ppl look at them when they vote and it can make more members come to your forum (i think) this is what i have on my forum. http://muchosearch.com/topo/index.php but there is alot of diffrent vote sites out there. if you do a search on the net you can prop find just for poetry. |

The skin is fine, don't listen to them. It's better than most of the ones you'll find on the skinning sites. If it was horrible, that might keep you from getting members, but anybody who wouldn't join or would join but not post because of that skin is not somebody you want to have as a member anyway. I'd change or edit the forum icons though, as they're a little large, hard to read, and not anti-aliased well for the background color. And you've done something that's making a horizontal scrollbar at the bottom. I have a similar problem with some people I know that write and can't seem to be bothered to join or post at my forum. Not sure what to do about it. My forum is pretty new, but one of the main reasons I made it was as a place where those friends and I could post writings and such. If you figure something out as far as that goes, let me know.

Er.. yeah, I forgot to mention you need to find a new host for your website. That tripod one is horrid. :X Opening up search panels and popups and lobster ads :wacko: and other random crap. Try freewebs or something. Even Geocities over tripod... You'd be better off putting your forum link in your sig here, because having that link in it isn't going to do you much good. |

If you made it with Tripod it abvously is hosting it for you. I can tell by the adds. And the pop-ups....and the side bar...and you get the point. Try geociies it's easier to make a site there and no pop ups. |

I say if you don't use an explorer like MYIE then it's your problem when it comes to popups...I worked four years on that site I don't really want to delete it and make a new one...my site isn't the point here... |

But instead of linking your sig to your site link it to your forum is what we're trying to say. |

Yeah, that was my point. Lots of people might be clicking your sig link and reaching your site and then closing it and getting the hell out as fast as they can. Better to link directly to your forum or move your site. The fact that you've been working on it for a long time is sort of irrelevant. You can simply copy your code and paste it onto pages at a better webhost. I wouldn't recommend Geocities though, I just used them as an example of how bad Tripod is. |
