I think you should go back to the phpBB forums (I think that's what you used) and you can still put the ads up with phpBB. Or you could go a step up with VBulletin, but I just can't stand this layout of the forum, it's just not good looking.

So basically I think people left because of the layout, not because of the ads.

 

EDIT: If you are worried about incorporating the gallery, blog, and features like that, it can be done with VBulletin. http://forum.bodybuilding.com has a ton of features and they use VBulletin for their forums.

I'm aware the layout is messed up in IE. I'm working on it.

For the last time, the layout has NOTHING to do with the code base used.

No free system has all the features that Pedal already has, and no pay system has the features Pedal will have shortly.

I'll fix the layout this week, I'll code it for IE first, haha.

Actually it looks pretty much the same to me with IE and Firefox. All I noticed is the text is a little bigger/bolder with IE.

The layout obviously has to do with the code base used. I'm assuming you coded it yourself, or else you used a template/style/theme whatever you want to call it, from somewhere else. Either way, you had to do that because you switched code base. If you were still using phpBB then the layout would be a lot nicer. (BTW, I'm assuming by code base you mean CakePHP).

Of course no free system has the features included, but with your coding skills I'm sure you can add the features yourself. After all, CakePHP didn't have all these features, but you coded them, right?

I do have a theme system, that's how I change layouts so easily here. The issue isn't that there isn't a theme system, it's that the themes in the system suck, LOL

Actually that's what I tried initially, Pedal WAS phpBB with extra features hacked into a bunch of other sites, but it was horrible to maintain.

Yes, I coded ALL the features with Cake. Cake is just a framework, it doesn't come with any features at all, unlike phpBB which is just a program with features, and not a framework.

Anyways, I do appreciate the feedback, and will definitely continue to work on the layout. I know it's the biggest issue with the site right now.

i'm not sure if its keeping me logged in or not, i'll know tomorrow, when i get back on.  BUT, there is one other problem i'm noticing.  The drop-down menu up top, doesn't work at all.  I go to forums, and whatever i click on, it does nothing.  same with the entire menu.  Still good to see you working hard to fix everything.

Hey guys got a couple things to say, first I'm using the older explorer 6 i believe here at school, and confirming that the dropdown menus don't work on it either. Secondly I suspect the login problem may just be fixed, as I loginned to this school computer and was already logged in, I was under the impression they don't keep cookies or what not like other forums use, as no other site remember me, but this 1 has, and it's been a couple weeks, so it's quite stage, may i ask how your actually remembering logins and users?

Is it a different method to normal?

I'm using firefox.  and I still had to login when i got here today?  Every other forum remembers me, so i don't think its anything on my end.
