All that space at the top seems pointless. Top banner really looks bland. Theme looks bland. I would have liked to see a theme not so generic looking or a more appropriate top banner.

Just my .02

Good forum though!

Looks a lot better. Perhaps try focusing on the most valuable & attractiveness of your site so visitors take some kind of action.

First opinion: bland look.

Your site name should likely be one of the most visible elements in your header, yet it's not there. That seems odd to me. It should be there in your flash header, along with a possible tagline, so that those browsing your site for the first time know what the forum is about, without needing to browse your list of forums/sub-forums

As it is now - I really have no idea what your forum is about. I saw something about forum promotion...?

My suggestion = work on the overall branding concept.

Jacquii.

I like it gemmk1. It has certainly come on leaps and bounds since your opening post.

The only thing I don't like is the font in the top navigation.

Keep up the good work and good luck with your site
