That would be here http://www.enworld.org/forumdisplay.php?f=19
But truth told it doesn't see a tremendous amount of activity and a lot of that is setting material.
Another good place to go might be here http://forums.gleemax.com/forumdisplay.php?f=339
The WoTC Character Optimization Board, which despite a bit of distaste given the Pun-Pun and Hulking Hurler issues of the past has a lot of people participating and some good advice.

Are you a DM or a player? Are all the member around the table are new to DnD or just you?
Honestly, if you are new to DnD and your friends are not, ask and discuss a lot with your friends, and especially with your DM.
DnD is a RPG. So, in theory, "better character" may be different for each DM, table, session, adventure, or party.

"Just some tips on character building" doesn't help us very much. If you said what sort of character you wanted to make and which books you have access to/ your DM is allowing, we could help more.
Some questions:
Which race do you want your character to be?
Which level are you starting at?
If you know, which class do you want?
If not, do you have some idea of what sort of character you want? A fighter? A spellcaster? A scout? A healer?
Which books are you using (since you're just starting, probably just the Player's Handbook)?

Errr...purchase a PH?boxerking said:
Too basic? Okay, how about:
If you'd like the play a simple but effective Ftr, try putting your highest ability score into Str, and weild a greataxe. Take the feat Power Attack and Weapon Focus (greatsword). Power attack for maximum (+1 !!) all the time.
Better?
One excellent method is to ask you fellow players if they would help you optimize a character. At least one will enjoy that sort of thing, and you'll be able to learn a lot from him (plus, he won't mind when your own character starts kicking butt, since he had a hand in it).boxerking said:

I appreciate the Greatsword costs 30gp more, but even at 1st level you should afford that. After all, you should buy your weapon first- you can wear hide or studded leather for the first few encounters until you get enough loot to upgrade.
