    Hi

    Mate, you have it going well there, easy on the eyes, great accessability and good choice of colors. Id reccomend that you create or get someone to design a sharp header graphic or a logo to sit the top left hand corner to fill in the blank space. You could also possibly put in a sublte textured or pattern background, something like faded white and light blue with a bit of transparency.... just suggestions that might improve it...

    Well done

    im not sure about the color. i think it's rather pale and not that eye catching. but i agree that you need a logo on your site. something that is very unique but best describes the concept of your forum.

    header needs a change, probably some different skin could be a good idea as well.
    this skin is bit common .

    too standard for forum, perhaps changing the skin to something nice but not so usuall will help

    I really don't like the choice of ad placement in the header. Other than that, coupled with what others have said about a logo, looks solid.

    Ah, wow...I really like how that turned out! I like the "i", it adds a certain feel to it. I did change the forum around a little bit though so I would appreciate it if people were to tell me what they think. The link again is http://www.advicethread.com

    I think the forum is quite good. Keep it on! The only a comment you vitally need to work on graphics a little, make the top section more attractive, and use some colorful icons.
