consider this the first babystep from me to you then

First: change the dark gray background from #999999 to #FFFFFF

Second: change your header table from this,

<!-- logo -->
<a name="top"></a>
<table border="0" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">
<tr>
<td align="left"><a href="index.php"><img src="images/misc/biggerlogo.gif" border="0" alt="The Alphamen Forum" /></a></td>
 
	
	
		&nbsp;
	</td>
</tr>
</table>
<!-- /logo -->

to this

<!-- logo -->
<a name="top"></a>
<table border="0" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">
<tr>
<td align="left" width="100%" style="background-color: #FFFFFF;"><a href="index.php"><img src="images/misc/biggerlogo.gif" border="0" alt="The Alphamen Forum" /></a></td>
 
	
	
		&nbsp;
	</td>
</tr>
</table>
<!-- /logo -->

try it, your forum would looke a lot cleaner and at the same time better
