Well, out of the four colour options I like the Blue Light and the Steel Blue most.
One little squiggley....there were no active users online (that is with me viewing the portal, and subsequently the forums)....My ghost status altered once I selected a theme from the portal theme selector.

If I may, one little constructive critisism, and entirely my own opinion, lol.
Sorry to burst your bubble on the chome bars, as it seems you have gone through much time and trouble to get them where they are....but you have overdone it just a tad on the forums. The horizontal lines(running right accross the entire span of the page) are just too heavy and too much. This prevents the eye from following through into (and down) the page. If you perhaps removed one or two of the bars, or even made them less thick, it will surely help the flow of the page.
The portal page is lovely - I like !!
