    hi
    I just set up a new forum about a week ago, could you please review it and tell me how to improve it, Its basically a forum to base a network of sites around which are still in dev, or beta but I though I would get it up and running :d
    Thanks

    I like the blean look of the layout! I think the site could look less "flat"

    Try this:
    - for your header font, on photoshop, add a 2 pixel white border around the text
    - Then add a small dropshadow behind it

    Yes, the dark grey backgrounds are visible on my resolution (good idea BTW, it's good to draw the attention to the centre/lighter area of the site)

    I like the design.
    Erm, myself I'ld make the forum images (the stars before each forum) transparant, or change at least the white background color to the slightly gray background color of the forum. But maybe that white background was your intention? However, this is just my opinion :)

    Hope this helps ;)

    No problem :)
    I sometimes have trouble with my monitor too, but thats only sometimes lol.
    Well, this is what this forum is for, isn't it? I'm gonna post my new site design soon too, if I forgot something or so, people will say that, and that helps me further again a lot ;)
