OK as you might know little things can make a great design, so heres what I noticed(at first glance): 1]The slideshow should fill up the entire width. 2]the header holder has shaddows and is rounded, while the other holders are square and have no shadows. 3]The adsense box should be at the top.(At least one of them) 4]The recent topics box is great. And thats all I have to say. I hope you find it useful.
Thanks. Did you happen to go into the forum - the main part of my site? There I do have adsense near the top of the page as well as after the first post in each thread and a small banner at the bottom of the page. Maybe I'll add an additional banner to the homepage as well.
You could also add a border to the flash slide show. And if you want to be low on the bandwidth you could use "Smooth Slideshow v2.1" from smoothslideshow.jondesign.net its really cool.
