Any ideas to improve my forum design
 

I have played around, not sure what else to change to make it look superb.

not even sure if what i done is good. because i like it does not mean others will.

so any advice or critisim is welcome.

Thanks
Derek

Smaller icons would be a good start :)

cool anything else?

This isn't the place to post this. moving to forum commenting.

Would get rid of the default vbulletin blue colouring. Although ya can see that you`ve worked on the skinning, thats seen from the point of view of someone who admins a forum. To a lotta people who are just using it, I recon it looks very default vb, and although personally I like the look of the default, a lotta people want to see a unique forum.

if you want to get the most out of vbulletin I recommend you revert back to default and purchase a skin from elsewhere (and I don't mean a $25 skin--99% of them are CRAP and/or overused)

after you do that, open a test site and practice modifying the code
