Well looking at the frontpage it looks good but too many banner ads. That's a turn off of mine but if you need the money from them keep them. Umm other then that I'd say that the default postbit kills it. You should work on a more exciting one.
The buttons make my browser wide. So that could be improved for 800x600 screen resolution users.
A welcome panel could be added. And the postbit, A lot of work can be done on that. Again, buttons are too big. The footer is too big.
oh as for a welcome panel ill be puting that up tonight, done a bit of work on the post bit but nothing drastic as tbh i dont know that much about what im doing lol
I would go with another color scheme, it does look too much like vBulletin.org's which takes the originality from it. It is not that hard to find a nice color combination.
k, dark blue is realy the scheame i am after, possably a silver? there was a program i remember that was good for getting colours t hat went well with each other i know thats a bit vaigue buut any ideas of simalar tools? my creative skills are extremely limited :/
