Tips? Suggestions. Help!

Its nice and all, but I would suggest making link exchanges with sites of your kind or doing Zoints, those seem to help in making new members... do an affiliates, and make a home page.

I have a gfx site too, wanna affiliate?

Being a graphics forum I would have expected a certain standard in the way of images being saved properly. I'm referring to the forum status icons though you wouldn't have been able to modify them because I'm the only one with the PSD. You can request for a modification via the database so that the background colour matte matches the background colour of the style.

I quite like the .tcat gradient and it would have been a nice colour to base other colours from but unfortunately you haven't. The thead gradient doesn't really complement the tcat gradient has it's a different variation of blue. Instead of using a blue gradient I would personally opt for another colour that would break the style out a little.

I've noticed your using forum status icons as threadmarkers. Personally, I wouldn't have done that for the simple fact that they don't convey the threadmarkers meaning. Another reason is that they are far to large and could become annoying because of the large dimensions.

If you notice you can see a white matte showing which gives the image(s) a jaggy/taccy look.

I think the problem is you've used to much blue and of different colour variations which gives the whole style an inconsistent look and feel to it.

Goodluck with your site. :)
