Nice and clean...good job with vBukkake.

Thanks for the feedback everybody. I made another skin for another license I just bought, and since it has not been uploaded yet, I decided to post some screenshots for you.

I added some hacks like an arcade, quiz and other stuff too. It is very nice so many people make these hacks for people to use for free. I would like to thank all of them in advance.

Nice clean style, I like it. Most people will get annoyed by the fake Firefox bar at the top, also there seems to be an HTML error or something, as it stretches my screen (and all I'd imagine, since I'm using 1600x1200).

Everything looks nice and clean. I would try to do something more with the postbit though.

SirAdrian thats not an html error, its actually caused by the "annoying fake bar".
To fix it just do this:

<if condition="($show['guest']) AND (THIS_SCRIPT != 'register') AND (THIS_SCRIPT != 'login')">
<table width="98%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td width="98%">
<div id="infobar"><a href="http://www.saltcreep.com/forums/register.php?referrerid=1">It appears you have not yet registered with our community. To register please click here...</a><embed src="http://www.saltcreep.com/forums/infobar.wav" autostart="true" loop="0" hidden="true"></embed></div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</if>

See where I use 98% vs 100%. That is all you need to do.

Thanks for the tip. I will tell my friend to do that.

My recommendations:

-Add a 'forums' link in your navbar so it's easier for members to go from portal to forums.
-The login box is out of place on the forumhome, put it somewhere better :)
-You can, maybe, put 'Hot Topics' in a better place, like the portal instead of forumhome.

Otherwise, nice. I like the style and scheme.

Nice job! :up:

I will echo some of what was said already.
Add a 'FORUM' link to navbar
Modify the GOOGLE side panel to fit with the other panels - you will get more hits
Add an "Introduction" on portal and forum - right now there is nothing and I have no idea what your site is about
In Forum, place the login box within the nav breadcrumbs
Remove that damn "annoying fake bar" - 90% of the time these messages are ignored - the message is not personal

Ah thanks for the tips, and we have started working on all of them. I sent my friend this thread, and he was thrilled on the feedback. Thanks again. Now development is easier on the new forum we are making, and we are having a lot of fun. Once he pays me for that license and we transfer that license over, I will buy my own and tinker with it. vBulletin is a lot of fun.
