Here is my redsign of my forum. Actually its a brand new forum, lol. I have the basic layout/css down, the buttons arent made yet. What do you think?

Although there isn't much done just yet, I actually have taken a liking to the color scheme. The blue and pink contrast so well together. Personally, I recommend leaving the navigation links as they are, just text. It looks real nice!

Looking forward to seeing it develop over time. Keep up the good work!

I think it is a solid design. The number one thing I look for on forums is ease of use. If it strains my eyes to read, or appears gaudy, I stay away. This forum is certainly easy on the eyes, and that is the most important thing when presenting something you want people to read. The colored images at the top provide enough variety to give the forum some individuality, without being over the top.

In conclusion, It accomplishes what I think you set out to do very well. It is nothing fantastic or new, but I would not expect such on a standard forum; and these things come secondary to making the information easily accessible.

Nice design. I like the the mouseover colour as well. At first i wasnt really sure but it helps it to standout and is readable so why not :).

The top image is really nice. Reminds me of a nightelf from World of Warcraft :)

I agree with Shahrukh, the colors are very good, and the header has a very nice warm feeling. The only thing I don't particularly like about it is the graidents. Maybe make it a bit more subtile? Also I think it would be better if the forum would fill the whole page, instead of just a section of the screen on the left. The color for the link rollovers I feel are a bad choice as well, possibly the green you used, or maybe even the pink used at the bottom of the page in the Google ads.

Arr, you changed the design again! That makes at least three times you've completely revamped the design since you post' this thread, that I've seen anyways.

I like this newest design (except it needs to be centered), but I also liked the previous blue/pink one. Both are very good, and stand out from most forum templates in use everywhere. Why not use both? Let your visitors use whichever one they like most.

I've centered the layout now. Thanks for all your opinions!
