Yeah, I fixed it at one point but screwed it up again >_<

I'm saving up money for a unique design, though.

I don't like the mixed forum layouts.

I mean I could sit here and compliment many things on your site, and unfortunately it seems that reviews always make us take out that human side that looks for what we don't like.

But it's a very nice design, or good colors, so the simplistic things are ok. Content is good.

But I cannot understand, or I can understand since they are teams, but it's look dumb how you put the teams in the middle of the forum in a different layout indifference to the rest of the board.

Why not make the whole thing look standard forum like, with your CSS changes to templates or whatever, and use the mod that our site uses with the images in front of the forums. That way you can go NHL for general stuff and Team logos in front of there own forums and it will all look uniform and symetrical.

???

In short, I don't like how you did the individual team part in the middle of the forum.

The reasoning for the team layout being made into columns is because each column represents a division.

ATLANTIC - NORTHEAST - SOUTH EAST
CENTRAL - NORTH WEST - PACIFIC

Its something that a lot of people on our site are used to from a forum that used to have it as well.

Personally I get what you're saying,and I thank you for it, but there are specific reasons for it.

... legionofangels is just not a fan of hockey... forgive him...

your team-based layout is perfect on my side...

btw i would suggest that you drop all the other styles... they are not built to fit the design, and they are not representative of your site... one style, one site... more professional.

For me personally, I quite like your forum. The icons look pretty good, the style looks clean and seems to work for the type of forum (I'm basing off the default style here). Navbar to me looks a bit off with the light default blue colour for some reason and is pretty much un needed since you have another set of buttons just under the banners at the top.

So probably remove the second navbar and set of the login boxes for not really being needed, and keep with the style you have in general. I don't really have a great deal to criticise really.
