Im a designer, I stick around here a lot, maybe missed a couple of days when I was sick, but those links provided my Megan are most of the popular ones, I also have another suggestion, a forum concentrating more on coding and has some nifty apps too. Webdigity

Um, I wonder if marblehost was reading a different question??

I would like to answer this question but it's hard for me to do that without being too biased. I find that a lot of forums have way too much advertising and that's a big turn off for me. We try to do that differently here. I've noticed a few big forums have recently added those annoying text link ads. You know, when words have bright links applied to them that show an ad when you mouseover them. Eeeeewww.

I've also found that people who are interested in design don't tend to hang out at forums as much as search/marketing people do. I don't know why this is. It's sort of strange that search people find value in larning from each other but design people don't I don't think I've ever seen a link to a forum from the design/development blogs I read, but the search and marketing sites mention them all the time.

Here are a few to try:

Sitepoint
Webmaster Talk
Ozzu does well in the SERPs but I've never actually been there.
Designer's Talk

More search/marketing forums:

Webmaster World
Digital Point (beware - I've seen some pretty bad design/coding advice there)
V7N

To be honest ,I 'm a web designer,But I had to do the webmaster.
Beacuse my website is so small,I had do all things myself,beacuse I can't afford anyone else.
But if your website you maybe need one or more web disigner and one more webmaster,beacuse their professinal has some different.
And you had better to master one first,if you have not many time.

More design and development. I think I will get alot from this site but usually there are a couple well visited forums.

Are you more into design or marketing? Or programming? Most of the big forums are more geared towards the SEO/Marketing side but there are a few general ones too.

For design, I find it best to subscribe to blogs and read/participate in the comments.

I'm glad you're enjoying our forum so far
