Validators are your friend...

The code on the forumhome page also caused memory violations in my HTML-Tidy. Locked it cold. Apparently one of the scripts is acting up.

charset=utf-8 is more ideal, especially if you plan to draw international traffic (from other EU nations)...

Use an import call for the stylesheets, it'll save bandwidth and load time since only specific CSS is downloaded -- not the whole stylesheet. With phpBB2 and clones that stylesheet can be l-o-n-g.

Personally, I'd go in and convert it to xhtml for SEO (they love xhtml better). And it'll be better if you wish to use RSS (which is a wonderful feature to grab headlines and import them directly to your forum -- can be used for news threads), and even syndication of your forum content.

Visually...

Overall design itself is okay. But the colors are hard on the eyes <-- that's what one sees when they're tired, a washed out look. Some more saturation will do better. And since this is a web design forum SHOW OFF.

It's a nice and clean design but for me it's a little bland. Overall though it looks very nice.

Nice template, but a bit more colour will make it nicer. Forum wise, there's nothing that hasn't been done before. 6/10.
