    Hi guys,

    I've been workin' with a designer on a new forum layout and I basically have about 24 hours to request any final changes. If you could take a look and let me know what you would change or what you think could be improved I'd really appreciate it. A screen shot of the new design is here: http://www.breederretriever.com/forums/showthread.php?t=826

    Thanks in advance, appreciate it!

    Looks good.
    But I think the main nav bar looks a little out of place in that gray color. Have you tried it in that dark blue with the paw prints? Or maybe just that dark blue color.
    Also, I didn't see a user login section and there seems to be a lot of white space between the sections.

    Very nice - Personally I think the grey nav bar kind of suits the design; breaks the blues up nicely and fits with the slight gradient under the secondary nav.

    Whitespace between sections could so with tightening up, and I would have expected to have seen icons in the blue boxes to the left of the forum descriptions.

    The main thing that stands out of place is the image of the dog - with the pastel color style I think the image that has been used sticks out like a sore thumb - perhaps a lighter-haired/different breed would fit better.

    Overall though, its a very nice design =)
