Let me know what you think of the theme. I've edited the main site theme and plan on redoing the whole site to intergrate it into the forum thus using the current forum theme, but before I do all of the coding I want to get the theme down first. So what do you think aside from the buttons/images which I haven't worked on yet. Do you think it's to dark? Any feedback is appreciated.
You have some dead links and the forum catagory part is a nice colour. the part that is righ tunder it make it a coupel shades lighter.
apart form that its awesome
PixieScripts is one i'll find the other i had. i dunno which is was.... maybe same twice not sure.
Looks good to me. Header container is little wider than the "main container", and the mainmenus width needs also a little fixing, but anyway looks good... And is not too dark...
Fix the menu. It's sticking out for me.
PixieScripts.com is the exact URL provided to me, if the site is down or the URL is wrong it is not in my control.
The header container will be a different width because it's not exact like the main container (header container and menu is 81% width, main container is 80% width + 5px on each side for padding). I will look into alternatives but unfortunately with the various resolutions people use it will be hard to get the width exact without making it look bad.
The menu appears to be an issue with Google Chrome so I will attempt to fix ASAP.
Oh wow, I fixed the header and main container width issues, I didn't know the padding could be a %.
Maybe add 5-10 px at the bottom of your container...
Maybe scrap the toplinks images.. use - in between them.. Those buttons just don't fit in well, anywhere.. I'm speaking of the search, member list, calender, help... those images.
On the Hosting plans page, where the image is of the guy at a laptop, try putting some padding in between that image and the text so it's not touching.
A new button pack for your forum.. Maybe some minimalistic black with a touch of the orange.
Different stars.. That's really easy to do, actually.
Different forum status icons.. Maybe something a little more unique to your sites design.
When you're viewing the forum and you click the banner, it takes you to the homepage. Might want to have that take you back to the forum home page instead. People often use the banner as a homepage link for their forums so out of habit people click them thinking they'll be taken to the forum home, not the site home.
The post # in the thread is nearly invisible..
Your menu in the forum should be the same menu as the rest of your site also.
All right I'm done.
Ok one more..
When you're at viewing the forum have the Home link be Site Home instead.. so people don't have to keep clicking their thinking it's the forum home.

Changed it to 1% all the way around.

I changed the font color and used the <strong> code and ditched the images.

Images are last on my list.

Same as above.

Fixed, that's how it was supposed to be but I forgot the subdomain in the code.

I was thinking of that, but I think I'll just keep it as "Home" since the "homepage" is part of the forum anyways.
For the menu, you have 2 completely different styles...
On all pages but the forum it is a different menu than the forum itself.. why not just use 1 menu style?
Hmm.. I notice now that it's just the slim menu.. weird :/
