Support Forum

Hello [Image Can Not Be Found]

Here I go. I have loaded up a WP forum, added some posts and planning some e-mail marketing to some of our readers

However everytime I look at the forum I start to go cross eyed. Essentially I am too close to the forum to use an objective eye.

If you have the time would you be  able to check out my forum and cast a critics eye over it

Have you got any suggestions to make it more engaging or exciting for property investors

see forum http://www.australian-real-est.....ing/forum/

FYI some background

I use wordpress 2.9.2, Simple Wordpress Forum and a Studio Press theme

Upgrade to 2.9.2 was simple, loading up Simple WP Forum was easy and my Studio Press theme works well

We now have about 450 pages of info for readers and lots of readers from Aust, USA, other developed countries,  and Asia

However can't seem to get the ball rolling with the forum from interested readers?  They visit the forum, have a look and then move on.

Not sure if it is the sign up process or member list being public (privacy issues) or other issues?  Is it the look and feel? Is it the Forum Terms of Use? Registration policy? Privacy policy?  Topics are too dry?  Needs more fun, bells and whistles?

Any ideas or suggestions?

Many thanks

John
