For me personally, too much green with the black although your niche is sort of related I guess and as you said, if your members like it then you can't go wrong . I would make some new forum icons for each category.. something that will go better with the style other than the default icons. I would also make the rounded inner containers of the forum a lighter black or a very dark grey for instance #515151 or something like that you;ll have to tinker because (and again this is imo) you need something to "define" the style, a guide of edges if you will.
For being on a learning curve, if this is your first style then I must say good job, you'll get much better over time with this .
Thanks for all the input.
I thought about going with a lighter colour for the forum rows and postbit at first but went with dark just simply because the phpbb theme I was using was the same.
I'll have a play with lighter colours on my test installation and see how it turns out.
And yeah, this is my first style of anything nevermind vbulletin. I've always just downloaded free themes I liked and used them, but now I'm really getting into php and css coding, learning as I go along.
EDIT: Yeah, images are on the top of my to do list, however not sure what I will do yet. Image manipulation is definitely not my area.
