What's so bad about the layout?

• Header too high
• Notice too large
• Ad placement offensive
• Welcome message toooooo long
• Stats largely irrelevant

I'm running 1680 x 1050 and I'm halfway down the page before I run into any worthwhile content.

1) WTH are you on about? The header is NOT too high
2) The notice is supposed to be large.
3) Just refresh the page. What's so offensive about the placement of an ad?
4) I edited it, so people know the benefits of joining
5) How are the stats irrelevant?

Most of these errors are just personal judgement. I find no errors of what you mentioned.

Best of luck and best wishes. There's little point in trying to argue you round from your way of thinking. I'll allow someone else to agree or disagree with me.

Although I doubt that would change your mind much if at all.

It might, depending on the suggestions.
But thanks anyway (I might start again for the 3rd time trying to find a topic that hasn't been discussed to nothingness)

You have got way too much before you can even get to your boards, you have Header, Notice, Benefits of registration, advertisement, top 5 stats.

Never seen a board like it. I actually moreless have to scroll to the bottom of the page to get the START of the forums.

Okay, well, if someone wanted to help me on the forums fix the problem, then that would be great.

I removed the ad codes and disabled the top stats.

I've got to agree on the header, I would make it a bit smaller. I do like the houses setup at registration. Perhaps you could make the welcome box collapsible, that'll save you a lot of pixels (so your content is visible earlier). I would get rid of the default (status)icons. There are many available here on .org in the template area.

The color scheme is easy on the eyes, however I've always got a 'dark' idea when I think about HP. Lastly, I would suggest to use VBadvanced (it's free and offers a lot of integration), so your main site will blend in with the rest. Hope this helps you.

Well, you wanna do that for me? I'm not using vBadvanced, navigate to hpcommunity.co.uk and you'll see that I already have a front page.

The status icons are modified. They originally said CNN, but the style author made a modification to them.
