 Hello all. I hope you are all well.


http://www.InvictaForums.com

With Di's help I have launched a new forum this weekend for Invicta Watch fans. Invicta is an incredibly popular watch brand that is featured almost every week on the ShopNBC television channel and online. I collect them and between my wife and I we own about 10 of them currently.

The forum is completely custom themed (by Di) to match the company's corporate site. You can see the corporate site at http://www.invictawatch.com .

Some info about the new forum
  1. Di/Jim did all the custom coding for the forum.
  2. I did the logo and custom watch face icons (ALL category, topic, forum, announcement, etc icons are actual Invicta watch model faces.
  3. I changed the link called "Menu" to "Quick Links"
  4. I changed "Profile" to "User CP", like you see on many other popular forums.
  5. We added a permanent "User CP" link in the navigation bar along the top that you see when logged in for quick member access.
  6. We added advertising blocks to the header and the footer of the forum. I added google ads there and they are already pulling watch themed ads from the keywords on the page.
The new forum will mainly center around Invicta watches BUT THERE ARE ALSO sections for all other watches, general categories (news, etc), and soon a watch sales/trades section.

If you own even 1 watch you are welcome. I would love if you could check it out. maybe register and help get the posting going, even if it is just in the general watch forums.

Some of my favorite Invicta watches look like this -







Thank you to Di for all the help setting up the custom theme.
