Just added vbgarage/vbtimeslips. Tried to keep the forum consistent with the "home" page (mambo).

Whatcha think?

Is there a guest account so we could see what the actual forum looks like without having to register?

You're shooting yourself in the foot and having the bullet ricochet into your head by not allowing guests to browse your forums.

header/banner is poorly made
- image is poor
- title is unreadable

the red link color is a poor choice - use white or yellow
increase the font - increase the size your readers will be happy
replace the vb images - they look bad with dark background

Other than the banner what image are you talking about?
Your color must be off because I am using orange font
I did replace the vbimages with the exception of the bottom images.

Thanks for your input
Maybe next time you can also point out what you "DID" like about the site as well.

yep, it's orange / orange-red :down:

it's not hard to find images/icons on your site that have jagged edges* ... edges of all images should be smooth

* images have jagged edges because they were created for a light-colored background

I'm not sure, but there may be icons for dark-colored backgrounds at vbulletin (Graphic/Style section) -- not sure but take a look.

Also, you should remove the "loading" message on your main page.
You should allow the contents of the page load to render as they are downloaded. This way your readers will have something to read/view while waiting for everything to load.
