I launched it a few hours ago and have been going around adding to directories etc, of course this will all be in vain if theres something about my skin people dont like.
Its my first time using vB's style manager, which was a bit of a throw off since im used to the simplicity if modifying phpBB templates.

Suggestions please?

Your skin isn't bad. :) I like the header, but you could do with working on the templates a bit more to make it look less 'default'

And maybe some sort of mouse rollover on the header navagation's buttons would look good.

I like your header, but one thing that struck me is that the entire interface is a tad too dark, looking at the white text on the black bg soon started to hurt my eyes a little so i gave up reading...(don't want that) good luck with the site, can't wait to see a review of GT5 on the psx 3 on your site ;)

- header is poor (font is hard to decipher / add some vibrant color to the car photos)
- header nav is confusing
- 2 login panels on portal page (remove the left login panel)
- remove the left/right padding on body layout (You don't have it on your header so why have it on the rest of the body?)

very cool site, I've been looking for a good vbsite using black and grey colours for a while. I really like your site very much. Did you create the template yourself?

If so can you share the template please.

Bad points though:

Font can be a little hard to read. You need to get a more clear font to use. Check the font used here on this skin for an idea: http://www.usftechgaming.com/community/community.php
Also make the scroller black from the default IE Blue scoller, doesn't suit the template at all.

Never noticed the scrollbar will fix..
And for the font, again do you mean the navbar or text font.

For example, changing something on the layout of your forumhome, as you've changed nothing.
