Thanks very much for all your comments! I have planned many new features to add to the forum, many of these will make the white spaces a tad more filled in. But I still agree it is a very opened area that hasn't been filled. I am considering to have a fluid version and make that the default instead.

The white space between the logo and the buttons will be filled in a few days. I also definatly agree with the text size and colour - I've been experimenting a lot but can't really find a colour or size that does the skin justice, if anyone has any feedback on this issue, please tell all :)

I'd appreciate it if you registered and enlarged the community a little - it's always hard starting a forum, and I'd really love to kick the community into gear and help people with their vB problems ;)

EDIT: I've just changed the font colour for the most part. Tell me what you think

The threads and posts font colour seems to be alot better, as its darker, on the pc i'm on now, the width is 1000% times better!

The forum icons, forum text and last post text is just waaaay to light still, i think you will have to go for a darker blue .....

I have my font size set on smaller, and the login boxes still seem incredibly large....

will register when i get back to my home pc, as it is a great idea :)

Thanks very much :) Now all award winners will be on the homepage so go and add your board and modifications to the FOTM and MOTM threads :)

The statusicons look like the ones at vBImageworks Did Shelley do those for you copyright free?

The statusicons come from http://www.vbimageworks.com/forum/showthread.php?t=123
They are free to use on forums but obviously im not taking credit for them.

ahhh....yes, there are some great resources at vBImageworks! Good luck with your new site :)

Nice style Marky, I like this one.

A small suggestion. I would set the border to a light grey rather than the blue you opted for. I just think it would give it a more professional feel. I would also use the appropriate forum icons because you've got a forum_link default image showing.

Apart from those little issues everything looks great. Nice work. :)
