Please review my forum (Again, yes I know)

Hey guys,

I posted this forum design earlier (it was just the design, and not the forum-in-action itself). However, now I've finally got it coded and everything! :D

So could I please get your comments and critiques?

Thank you in advance - it means a lot!
See here.

The only thing I dislike about it is the yellows and oranges, they don't go well with the rest. I'd suggest making those grey, then it's pretty good.

Nice forum, i like it. i like blue anyways lol

the skin is pretty good, i love the colors and the header looks great

@Shorty: I'm not sure what I could replace the yellows/oranges with. I know I could do grey like you suggested, but I fear I might "grey it out" too much if I did.

lilgee & def1 - you guys really like it how it is? Thanks!

Hey,

I think it looks good but a little too dark.. my eyes get tired if i look at it more then 2 minutes.

Hey guys, I am really appreciating all of the comments! Thank you!

@Sw & Shadow: I do agree with you guys, it is a rather dark scheme.
Does anyone here know how I could make it look a little more "user friendly" without totally redoing the whole thing? It seems like for me, whenever I make something too dark or too light the only way to fix it is to end up completely redoing it, and I haven't got that kind of time on my hands right now.

To any of you visual guys: furthermore, are are any elements you can visualize on the layout that I could change that wouldn't be too much work on my part that might make it look a bit better?

Thank you all in advance!
Really appreciated everyone!

You could try playing around with the background color. Making it a lighter color could be the key - you need to experiment.

Seems a little too "boxy" for my liking, but I like the scheme.
