    Love the design! Suits your topic very well. For your site name, it's kind of hard to see behindn the dark background, I would change it.. to either a bright blue or even green (like the dots you have above)

    yea the logo, it was made for an earlier version of the forum, it was a bluish color, and it was a yabb forum, it was good for that, i never got the time to make another one, but thanks for comments, i will work on making a new one, i dont have that one's psd file anymore so i cant change the color

    You can import the image file into photoshop and colorize it to green (instead of using the psd file) works just as great!

    Good luck.

    Here, try this:

    1. Import the graphic into photoshop
    2. hold down: CTRL + ALT and U at the same time
    3. The window will appear
    4. Click colorize (on the lower right corner)
    5. Move the hue around to change the color and just stop at green when you've reached it.

    Hope it helps!

    Maybe make the green lighter? Also.. the dropshadow (reflection green) it way too dark for a reflection.. tone it down by 50% and see how people respond;)

    Oh right.. but I didn't remember the drop shadow when there was the blue version? what you can do is just overlay the green drop shadow with black (at a low opacity)
