If you only have $50, and can't do anything by yourself, I'd go for a pre-made skin. They usually cost aroind $20.

I had another skin on my boards...a space skin..so i just replaced that so check it out leave your comments..etc etc lol

The space skin makes it entirely too hard to read any text.

I can read the text just fine thank you very much

Well, you're trying to impress the audience of your forum right? Not just yourself?

Maybe i should lighten up a bit. Well, yea i wanna impress people enough to join and actually post.

Then try to accept the constructive critisism others give you. It really does help, and gives many ways to improve your forum. :)

Defenitely has some potential bro :) I love the semi-transparent tables (curious how you did that, can't find a tag for it). IMHO background could be changed, that's throwing off a lot of the text. I do think u should have a graphic background because of your transparency, but perhaps something a bit calmer (like bigger objects) :)

hmm....I just got fireworks MX Last night...ill tinker with it today and see what i can do

Well i got some new skins in and i fixed them up a bit with Firework
