The design (as stated before) looks sleek and tidy and works very well for the type of topic you set for your forum. However, location of the forum link was hard to find and I had to click on an existing thread link to get to the forum, create a more prominent link with a better placement so guests can see what you have to off. Afterall, your content will be obviously a key factor to gain those registrations so a better placement link to the forums is vital and will help you in the long run.

I agree with what (forgot your name) a member said in this thread about the google ads being far to large, you never know when you'll need space to insert other links/tables etc but beware not to clutter an already tidy style in the process.

As for some of the images located in this style there's still some vbulletin stock images present and you should change these for custom variations starting with the navbits_start.gif icon seeing as it's the first stock icon image people will clap their eyes on. I might be able to help you with that seeing as your a customer at vbskinworks. Give me a shout and I'll help you out with that if you want the help.

I've also noticed that the sortasc.gif & sortdesc.gif are still present and being vbulletin stock they seriously need to go for custom variations plus blue icons on a blue background creates a problem for us short sighted users.

Overall, a nice clean and uncluttered layout and the style itself looks visually pleasing. Goodluck in creating your site.
