I think it is good to create forum with a lot brushes, vectors, styles and other. And you can create forum with video tutorials of all yours lessons.

Edit:

You can make category with good choises of colours for your design, something like http://www.colourlovers.com, but with more info

I dont think we need any new category.. we already have all very good categories.. what else we need?? its already so good forum..what can be better than this? we have marketplace, seo zone, general , how to, programming, even wordpress themes.. what else we need??

Hmm.....maybe video tutorials and more PSD'files. Or create base with types, include types simple users and admins talk-mania.com =)

1. What forum categories do you think it will fit good on Talk-Mania ?

I think that a logo category is needed so that members can learn how to make different types of web 2.0 logos from Admin and other members. Also, a link heaven forum would be nice so that members can share links to other sites they found interesting. I would also like a category that focuses of members' GFX so they can share their GFX there and get feedback from other members or even admin.

2. What type of files do you need. ( ex : photoshop brushes , skins, themes, styles, psd )

I would personally like to have more brush files as they help a lot when creating web layouts, wordpress themes, etc.

3. Another suggestion

Maybe you should add a shoutbox to the forum so that members can instant message with others.

1. What forum categories do you think it will fit good on Talk-Mania ?
1- I think that the ppl here must like the design part of the forum.
I think that u should create categories that connected to design, like a "Design tools" category or category which contain Fonts for all languages...

2. What type of files do you need. ( ex : photoshop brushes , skins, themes, styles, psd )
2- I need Brushes, patterns, layer styles and fonts.

3. Another suggestion
3- U can make a "Design school" which theachs newbs to use the basic tools, and u can also make a "Design tools" category which has in it all the brushes, patterns, layer styles, actions and the tutorials to create those tools.

1. What forum categories do you think it will fit good on Talk-Mania ?

I think that we should have a forum on photoshop tips and tricks. Because, with the new version being out and so many new features. If we highlighted one each week and showed faster ways to get around in the program. It would help us all become more efficient designers. I was once told that getting the job done faster was the key to getting more jobs.

2. What type of files do you need. ( ex : photoshop brushes , skins, themes, styles, psd )

I would like to have access to the PSD files so I can see how everything is done.

3. Another suggestion

So, that's what I think about it.

At first, to the prices, they are all really good, but I already got the "3D Logo Creator" and the "VIP Account".

To the first question:

You know, we got this "Photoshop Tutorials" with Sub-Forums. Why aren't there Sub-Forums in "Photoshop Tutorials from Talk-Mania members"? So anyone can find tutorials easier. What's a bit frustruating, to the admin's tutorials, there are so many replies, but to the tutorials of the members, there aren't. I know admin, your the best, but but collect all Tutorials to 1 Forum and Sub-Forums, of course.

To the second question:

I don't think we need here in this forum so much brushes, because almost on every photoshop site there a million of brushes, so the must people will say : "Yeah, i made brushes, download here." But they didn't really made them on their own, they will just copy it from somewhere, and some people will regocgnize them and much not, because -as I said before- there are too many sites with brushes.
So, personally, I am a big fan of styles, because you know, you can download(or buy) them and use them.But the best thing is that you can change them SO EASILY, you know, you got this one style there you change the settings a bit and you got a real NEW style you can use, and you are very happy with. And they are very simple to use for beginners, too.

To the third:

Please, this is to everybody who is writing tutorials.
Please use your OWN tutorials, YOU MADE! Don't copy the from anywhere.
And please place a text on the pictures of the tutorial, like this: Lenkrad talk-mania.com- 2008 or something like that, so it isn't so easy to copy the tutorial and set it on another site, because they have to say that this is a tutoral of "talk-mania.com - Lenkrad" or they really have to make it themselfs.

1. What forum categories do you think it will fit good on Talk-Mania ?

A collaborating forum would be wonderful, doing something together in the purpose of learning. Not just for webbdesign but also for scripting.

2. What type of files do you need. ( ex : photoshop brushes , skins, themes, styles, psd )

Besides the ordinary photoshop resource files i think that files for other programs like flash should be included and a scripting library.

3. Another suggestion

Most forums have language settings so that people can navigate settings more easy, idk about talk-mania but i didn't find that in the CP

1. What forum categories do you think it will fit good on Talk-Mania ?
A categorie themes sub cats wordpress/ joomla / phpnuke ect

2. What type of files do you need. ( ex : photoshop brushes , skins, themes, styles, psd ) Themes Styles actions PSD

3. Another suggestion
A section off php tutorials or help for installing some script also would be nice to add a tutorial section msql related
