    Hi all,

    I have been looking to develop a new skin for my forum for a while now and I have finally done it and i am now looking for some feedback as to what (non biased) eyes think..be as harsh as you wish as it all helps me.

    Here's the forum Ebay Forum

    Any time taken out of your schedules is appreciated.

    Regards,

    Mike

    I think the icons (orange ones) stand out too much, I would use blue ones instead... The header should be the one standing out eh? ;)

    Very nice and neat theme. The Orange Icons look good, but seem to stand out a little much, maybe a closer colour of blue like suggested above would suit better.

    For a neater look, I reckon moving the Forum list up to be level with the top of the Articles box.

    Nice and soft colors, I like that. I think you should use a bit more of orange. Especially on the right of your page. It will balance the page a bit more.

    Also, I suggest you to align the menu (on the right) with the main table on the left ( eBay Chat and eBay Alternatives)

    I like the forum, the orange icons are nice, but the blue "trader" word in the banner doesn't look right, i'd make it green instead.

    There is a space below the header at least in Firefox, try to remove it, as it looks like a template bug. Make outlines in the logo green matching the color in the icon it should give the whole logo a more consistent look.

    would be nice if the blue box around FAQ Search Memberlist Usergroups Register
    Profile Log in to check your private messages Log in
    was either less wide or maybe those options were centered within the box.
