Please make your advise simple and straight to the point
If your advise isn't do-able for me or for some reason I can't accomplish If you do it for me or if you provide me with a tutorial I will double reward.

between 10 - 250 credits per advise depends on how valuable it was to me.

Here are my comments and advise.
  1. You should put a link back from your forums to your main site to increase its navigability. To do this through the logo you can edit the "styles/(style)/template/overall_header.html" (You can also edit it internally) for each style that you want to change. You need to change "<a href="{U_INDEX}">{SITE_LOGO_IMG}</a>" to something like this "<a href="http://seeknow.x10hosting.com/">{SITE_LOGO_IMG}</a>".
  2. For you SMF forum you can change a setting in the admin panel (Go SMF!!!).
  3. Maybe you could also put a link back from the gallery.
  4. I would also recommend that you centre the e107 screen.
These links are very important, especially for a site like yours because your site has may different software packages, meaning that they all have separate areas which are not very well connected. If possible you should try to avoid using so many software packages especially if you want a user to be able to log into all of them from one login, and you want a user to be able to search the entire site not just the one section. For example you probably don't need two different types of forums. Good luck with the site anyway. :)

1) Remove Joomla! ads
2) Get a favicon, it makes it look more professional
You can do this by making a logo, resizing it to 16 pixels X 16 pixels (Square) and saving it as "favicon.ico"
Then upload it to your root directory. Wait a little bit and you have a favicon!
3) There is a place in the Joomla Administration Panel where you can easily add banner advertisements. I suggest you look into that and try it out, it makes things a lot easier.
4) Get a logo, your site looks blank without one.
5) Try to get the Joomla and phpBB3 to have similar skins instead of Blue and Gray.
That is my advice.

I tried doing that from my file manager and editing the file but my Seeknow forums logo doesn't link back to the main page

Can you please tell me where in my where in my admin panel in SMF do I go to make when you click on my community on SMF to link back to the main page


That is not possible I was thinking to integrate the gallery into my phpbb forum, but I don't know how to install the gallery mod since I need to edit so much files and its really confusing

I'm gunna use google to search my whole site, and I will cancel the sign=up feature on e107 since it will show my services no need to sign up, and my SMF forums are by invitation only and are a forum for the admins and mods of the entire site.

This reply is for "verbsite"'s post

I forgot to mention that for phpbb3 template files to reload you need to go into the admin section and refresh the cache because phpbb3 caches these files into the database. To do this go to the admin panel, and look for 'purge the cache' under 'Resynchronise or reset statistics'.

For SMF, some of the templates don't let you set it in the admin section, you can manually change the file by going to "Themse/(theme)/index.template.php", you need to change this (or some similar code)

HTML:
<td id="header_logo" width="1"><a class="topimg" href="http://seeknow.x10hosting.com/community/index.php">

HTML:

This code (From "Themes/ApolloBB/index.template.php"):
PHP:
    // Show the logo.  It'll be either the default image, or one you set in the Theme Settings.  The stock logo is logo.gif in the images directory for each color.
    if (empty($settings['header_logo_url']))
        echo '
                        <a href="', $scripturl, '" class="topimg"><img src="', $settings['images_url'] . '/'. $settings['theme_main_color'], '/logo.gif" style="margin: 0px;border: 0 none;height: 89px" ',  (empty($settings['show_name_near_logo'])) ? 'alt="'.$context['forum_name'].'"' : 'alt=""' ,' title="', $context['forum_name'], '" /></a>';
        else echo '
                        <a href="', $scripturl, '" title="', $context['forum_name'], '" class="topimg"><img src="', $settings['header_logo_url'], '" style="border: 0 none;vertical-align:middle;margin: 0px;" ',  (empty($settings['show_name_near_logo'])) ? 'alt="'.$context['forum_name'].'"' : 'alt=""' ,' /></a>';
    echo '
                    </td>';
Will need to be changed to this
PHP:
    // Show the logo.  It'll be either the default image, or one you set in the Theme Settings.  The stock logo is logo.gif in the images directory for each color.
    if (empty($settings['header_logo_url']))
        echo '
                        <a href="http://seeknow.x10hosting.com/" class="topimg"><img src="', $settings['images_url'] .

'alt="'.$context['forum_name'].'"' : 'alt=""' ,' title="', $context['forum_name'], '" /></a>';
        else echo '
                        <a href="http://seeknow.x10hosting.com/" title="', $context['forum_name'], '" class="topimg"><img src="', $settings['header_logo_url'], '" style="border: 0 none;vertical-align:middle;margin: 0px;" ',  (empty($settings['show_name_near_logo'])) ?

An important component of successful sites is often overlooked: proper grammar. When I visit a site that is riddled with spelling mistakes or has poor grammar I usually leave. Right now I can't view much of your site as it appears to be under construction, but (and please take this as constructive criticism, not a personal attack) your posts in this thread are frankly difficult to read and understand. I know that you probably typed them quickly, but slowing down and correcting your work results in better communication and less time wasted overall. Even if you are just slapping something onto your site (I.e. a quick blog post) at least toss it through a spellchecker. On another note, that picture in your signature is very scary; you may want to consider removing it if you are going for a professional look. Hope this helps, and please don't be offended,
Calvin

alright, these are the things i noticed:

> the google search box seems a bit out of place. it just doesn't seem to fit in very well.

> the banner ads at the bottom seem too crowded and disorderly.

> at the bottom of the page where you mention you have valid code, you should capitalize the word 'valid'.

> you don't have any one theme across your whole page, it kind of changes every time you click a link.

You have two search engines and you only need one, take one out.
