Thank You fo your comments.

The reason i went for a premade skin, is because i am totally bad at graphics programs, photoshop etc.

I also wouldnt know where to start! How do you know the sizes of the images.. and the links.. and createing a style file!

I can use paintbrush but thats about it! But one day when i get a bit more time im going to concerntrate on graphics and design and im sure i should be able to make a basic nice skin Well i have to start somewhere

The site has been having a couple of nameserver problems which are hopefully fixed.

quinte - im looking forward to a reply

Please give me
Thanx once again

Well - your site is actually very appealing, you know !! But I must admit that I am a fan for fixed width forums

Of all the available skins out there, you picked a nice clean one. It is well laid out and not cluttered. The postbit (showthread) is just beautifull!

If I had to be critical, then this is what I would change, if it were my site.
1. There is a lovely balance of darker blue (#3B81C7) throughout the homepage, except on the top portion where you have the welcome panel and the shoutbox. This area does look a little bleak, so perhaps just introduce some more of this lovely blue in there.
2. Often I see shoutboxes tucked away somewhere. I like the way you have put it boldly inbetween the welcomepanel and the forums. But there seems to be just a tad too much white space, particularly below the shoutbox.
3. I do not know if it is omitted on purpose, but I did not see the "private messages" anywhere? Perhaps your members are not partial to it? - just my suggestion.
4. I had to leave a site I was on yesterday because of their snow flake effect on a black background - got me squinting big time. Luckily your background is pale, so it blends in rather nicely, and I must admit, after a while I failed to even notice it. It does make for a nice seasonal touch.

Other than that - don't change a thing. lol I love it!!

regards, quinte.

i think it is a good skin but as said before - why put up for review a site skin which you didnt design - also, that registration pop up is extremeley annoying
