Thanks for the input. I am not very ... fluent in PHP, so I can't do much beyond coloring.

I am in progress of adding all the courses, custom images, etc.

if you want to change the look, you don't have to do any coding. google "phpbb skins" and "phpbb templates" for free downloads.

Yea, I saw all that. But that's what I am saying.

All I have really done is streamlining of the interface, etc. I still need to do alot, obviously.

Google AdSense and the Firefox referral system is amazing. I have almost recouped half of my domain purchase.

A commie. He uses the hippy avatar and is obsessed with Che Guevara.

I'm sort of surprised he hasn't shown up in this thread, actually, and accused you of slander or something of that sort.

I seemed to work out the kinks in the index display. Now it will be cosmetic adjustments, like with the line of main links.

Changed the linking a bit ... tell me if you think the AdWords are in an okay spot.

oops! sorry! i was being serious. it will get off but what i'm saying is since the semester just started, i'm sure teachers haven't handed out much homework yet, and kids have probably gone to most of their classes thus far anyways. but later on, kids will get lazy and will need help so your site will become an excellent resource :)

Thanks ;)

I was sitting in Chemistry the first day of class (Wednesday) and decided to build the site. The Physics counterpart has done quite well, with 2650 members after 3 or 4 semesters. I have people in 4 - 5 of the classes listed, and more in the OChem I and II ccourses I will be adding.

The others will depend solely on the students until I can find dependable members.

Actually, no. I wanted an excuse to make a little extra money and help out people in my class. Once it gets bigger (which is a matter of time, not a matter of if), I'll PM you ;)

Members are actually posting now, and I am getting 1,000 - 2,000 (sometimes more) impressions a day.

Well aside from breaking Google's TOS, I really don't think you should have a 100% width set on the forum categories, it looks terrible with a ridiculous amount of wasted space. Also, the images aren't very crisp and look shotty.

yea, thats WAY to many forums for one small site

get it into a GENERAL chemistry site, and not one for just UT and you will have much much more success
