The layout is clean. However, I'll focus on the visuals as i'm sure the other people will critique other areas.

Default vbulletin images. rid these from your board. They don't compliment the style at all and I suggest in replacing the icons in the (what's going on area) for something custom. I'm not sure if you've replaced the "whole" button set but i did wander off in one thread and the default closed button is vb stock. Again, replace this for something custom, that fits with the theme of your style.

Also, try and replace the threadmarkers (thread Display). Again, these (visually) don't do your style any justice and I have to point the default stock threadmarkers out because I think the variation of blue in them just doesn't look great with the colours of your style.

I notice there's remnants of a squared border showing in the forum status icons. There is a trick I always do when applying icons onto gradients is that you take a screenshot of the page and find a blank area of the gradient crop it and place it in the bottom layer of the forum icon file and then overwrite the image. result being the icon will look seamless against the background to which it's applied onto.

There are still remnants of stock vbulletin icons (lastpost) and i'm sure other little icons you may have overlooked. Again, replace these for something custom whilst maintaining consistency with regards to the visuals as the blue colouring in vb stock images doesn't look great on your colour skin.

Regardless of that, nice work and goodluck.
