Hmm not bad Xtrato and imk new idea... the forum status icons... why not remove the padding on the left so it looks like the ninja head come right from the edge since your not framing the icons kwim? Think about it ;)

it's a good start but...

header is too big - it's crying for attention; the last thing you want is for the reader to continue focusing on the header

you want the reader's attention on reading content - and, hopefully creating content

let me put it this way...
there's a naked person doing acrobats at a convention that you and your buddies are attending - where do you think everyone will be at?

lose the header

the same applies to the shout box

I agree with Princeton , he has a point, i do agree strongly with the shoutbox, waste of space and good content ...

The header is crying for attention!, and unless you get rid of it , or make the rest of the page just as striking as the header , it will look unbalanced.. i can help out if you want , just pm me though im a little busy atm,.

Nice change on the icons. I like the background gradient as posted by xtrato. I was thinking maybe something like this but not so bold. It's a background I created for a client site some time ago...

css code would be as the following or similar:

Code:
body {
background-color: #c8c8c8;
background-image:url(background_image_name.gif);
background-repeat:repeat-x;
background-position: top;
background-attachment: fixed;
}
Also - it wouldn't hurt a bit to have a 2px solid black border around your content - a preview would look similar to:

I must say I disagree with Princeton though. The first thing a person will see is your header/logo -- you want that first impression be be a lasting one. And what better way to make a good, lasting impression than introducing visitors to your site's content with a very solidly designed header that speaks well of your brand. Sure if your tastes veer towards a very small logo, then that's good too. But you have a solidly designed header - I like it anyway. It wouldn't turn me off a bit.

Also the shoutbox is obviously shown to members only? I have a shoutbox on my poetry forum and locate it at the top on most all forum pages. Some people abhor shoutboxxes - I like them...

Jacquii.
