I (honestly) am having quite a bit of a hard time finding a pro of this theme. First thing I noticed is that the statistics are shown at the top, which just simply does not look right to me. The font looks strange to me, I don't think it's necessary to have the font extremely bold like you do, and for some reason the icons say ON and OFF which I don't understand, not to mention they both look the same. The last thing of it is, it's too plain. I'm usually into the simpler themes, but for some reason it just doesn't look right for your forum, so in conclusion I'm just not a huge fan of your theme. =/ Sorry if I offended you but this is just really my opinion of it, hope you get a better one eventually and good luck to your forum. 🙂

Oh, I didn't notice that. Hopefully it's just on the bottom on the next one. 😛 By the way, you're welcome and I'm glad you got what you wanted. 🙂Ewan said:

Tabs? I don't comprehend.Ewan said:
Tab as in a link to gaming and all the gaming sections go under that. And like pandaa, that was one of the main reasons I didn't want to add it. Average forum users might find it difficult to navigate. I'm just going to leave it and come it with something more ORIGINAL for navigation 😉

Looks like a crappy clone of the crappy HackForums theme to be honest.
Icons don't really fit in with the coloring of the rest of the forum.
Not to be harsh...BUT...What's original about your forum? I don't see anything original that justifies your forum's name.
Just saying..Perhaps something to think about.

I quite like the icons you have for your forum but I don't really like the theme you have to go with them, the theme looks very dull with the colour grey in it. I think you should look at getting a new theme so the icons can feel more in place. 🙂
Forum themes shouldn't stretch all the way, since one of the things usability is concerned with is the length of the text lines. In your case, on my 1600 pixels wide monitor, it's horribly hard to read an entire line. Use responsive layouts or a fixed 980pixels width layout.
The theme is dark, this makes it break yet another usability rule. The text should be on a light background to make it easier to read. Right now it looks pretty unfriendly, since it's grey/green and dark.
I see no guest welcome message, I have no idea what your forum is concerned and I am not enticed to join. You should put a welcome message, present the site in 2-3 sentences and put a nice button for people to join. You have few seconds to capture a guest's attention and make him 'do' something. If you can't do it, they'll leave in 2 seconds and not register.
