Yeah, it's good that you kept the button theme everywhere.

great one, awsome colors and great icons

But:

1.) while reading the post, the icon next to "Threaded" is not in the same line as "Threaded"

2.) Smilies? ehm, no please

3.) the top navigation would look nicer with a mouseover effect

4.) you can't see wether it is a link or normal font

1) The font issues will be addressed this afternoon when I have a good amount of free time to dedicate to further changes

2) I am not particular to roll-overs as JS just adds to the load time of a page or the multiple pages

3) I very much like the smilies . I can't stand the standard ones and it's time for a change away from the current standards .

4) The threaded section will be fixed as well. I am still thinking of better icons for such; none have yet come .

The smilies are good. It might be harder to recongnise what the smilie is a first, but you will get used to them in due time. A change like that takes time to get used to.

[SaintDog]

Yeah, it takes a little bit of time to get used to changes, though, it is this style or the other . I don't think but a few members actually liked the last style so this one is a large improvement over what was here .

IMO there needs to be much more difference between the on and off images; they're hard to tell at a glance.

Also Trebuchet MS at this site looks horrible in non-Cleartype systems (like my Windows 2000 work system).

Looking at it in Safari now...

Was looking over things on a 2000 machine last night at a neighbors house and it looked fine to me (I didn't go into detail, but it looked fine), same for Win98 (not saying much, I know ).
