Hello there, i might be a bite of a brute in my review, so please excuse me if i'm too harsh, but i am honestly trying to help here. SO: 1. right this second go and change the font and color of your website title. If i'm not mistaking, that's the same font used in the Pixar production "Shrek" and i'm not sure if that could cause you any kind of legal problems, but i'm pretty sure that people don't really associate the big green ogre with commerce. Therefore change the font, make it juuust a little bit bigger (like 10% bigger) and place it just above the forum menu (above the "Home" etc. tabs) And make sure it doesn't stay green. I know green is the color of money, but that green and that sky blue used as a background color make your website look like a playground for children, not a serious, commerce website. 2. the color theme looks too... soft/wimpy. If you're going to keep the white & grey, i suggest you change that blue to a darker color. 3. what's that News tab doing there? If you written the layout yourself, i think you really messed up a <div> tag there. If you're going to keep a News box on your blog, given the overall layout, i suggest you center it and place it under the "Search" bar. (btw,i really like the design of the search + login bar, congrats) 4. create/use different icons for the threads categories. That way people will navigate faster through your forum. 5. Change the footer bar to look similar with the one from the Search/Login bar. The way it looks now it makes no sense and differs too much from the other elements on your page. Hope that helps and hope to see a profi-looking forum next time i visit it
