Critique Needed!

[Ringr]

Hey fellow NP'ers,

I need some critique on a forum design.

• What shouldn't be changed? (what do you like about it? etc.)
• What should be changed (how could it be made better? etc.)

Unfortunately tags are turned off in this forum (:|[i]![/i]), so [b]here is the link to the image:[/b] [url]http://img390.imageshack.us/img390/2811/nirvanaforumsimg3jq.jpg[/url]

Thank you in advance,
C&C would be [b]very extremely appreciated![/b]

Looks good but I would change the font colour from a dark grey to something which is easier to see on your dark background.

yeah agree looks good nice and tidy, and yeah change the font color

Spice up the banner a little bit. Maybe implement a space for ads in the banner....I wouldnt' use that bright yellow, tone it down a little bit.
Overall its a nice layout. That phpbb right?

The adverts tie in very well with the banner but the text on the left of the adverts needs a bit of spice! Yes I know Cobalt already said that!

@ComDiver: do you mean the 'forum description' font I take it?
@Cobalt: IPB.

Thanks all of you guys for your comments.
I will have an update on the forum skin in a little while, stay tuned!

Edit: here are the changes, although I don't know if I like it any better. I should just hire someone to do this because I suck so much. http://img355.imageshack.us/img355/8744/nirvanaforumsimg25nw.gif


Edit 2: I made a new design, do you guys think this one is better, and if so - how can it be made better?
