Well, you might think of adding the last portion of the left column to the middle column, I just think it is pretty far down and won't be seen. Another Easy thing is to rename trader ratings to something like feedback. I know alot of sites do that. Also o the bottom left corner of the navagation, I think the image is messed up. You might consider changing the banner a little, to get it to match the skin better.

I would say I do like the skin, did you do it yourself?

Overall I think your site looks nice, and you did an awesome job.

Change the logo to .jpg and undate the header to reflect .jpg to fix the resolution problems you are having with it........

Looks smooth to me.

Thanks for the critiques.
I didn't make the skin, I noticed the bottom parts of them nav and forums, I have to look for the image to fix that. The banner is just temporary.
I was thinking about changing "Trader Ratings" to "Member Feedback" but I think it might be weird since I have Members right above it. Hmm maybe I will just change around the box.

Any more ideas of what I should add or take away?

One thing I noticed is that I can't tell what your site's about when I first view the page. If you're looking for a way to get some more members, thats definetely something you might want to work on. Other than that, it looks pretty good, nice job

Why not just change it to feedback? Also you could move that link so it isn't near the members list and such.

remove the W3C VALID XHTML 1.0 image -- the page does not validate
remove the gradient background -- the content is hard to read with it
remove all links pointing to dead ends eg. DOWNLOAD, LINKS -- it's a waste of time for your users

the logo and the overall color scheme does not match -- I suggest looking for a balance.

The gradient is a bit much for the eyes and I think some higher quality graphic work within the forums would really improve the appeal of it all. Good luck!

I changed it to Trader Feedback (was trader ratings).

I also added a new Banner, New Buttons.

I still have to work with the colums (bottom right) in forums.

I am working on getting rid of the xhtml image.

The 2 dead links (Downloads, Links) I am working on, it should be up shortly.

Any other suggestions???
