The notepad-background needs to go. The lines are distracting. The header image needs to come alive with color. It's a really nice picture, but you need to kick life into the colors of it and brighten it up. The P.W. Outdoors should go in something out of the nature background, I think. I'd also remove the margin on the top that causes the white space between the nature header and the browser top. Since you've got it stretched across the screen, it could look better fully stretched so the nature goes from edge to edge or with more margin on the left and right with some kind of background similar to vBulletin.org. The colors on the rest of the forum are good on the eye. They'd look much better without that notepad-background. :-)
