I have made the following additional changes from princetons advice:

- Removed the welcome box leaving just the register box with identical info.

- Made the username and password box and which is which more evident.

Can anyone see any other things you think should be altered ?

Kindest Regards

Your forum design is a refreshing change from the usual, congratulations.. :)

One of the things I'd change is the "Last Post" icon

It's rather big, and takes some of the focus away from the design. I think a small arrow, similiar to what you've used in the navbar for the Search button would be much more effective.

ill look into doing something about that :)

Thanks for your kind words
