Should I get a new theme?

Do you think I should get a new theme at www.LevelUnlocked.net (/forum)?

Personally I quite like the theme you have... especially the wordpress side of your site. I feel that you should keep the current theme.

Yeah I really like it too but quite a few people have suggested changing it, I can't really see what the problem with it is, it's aesthetically pleasing and does the job 🙂

I got an anti-virus alert saying that your website had an Exlpoit Blackhole Exploit Kit on it.

Probably my AV seeing as I'm using AVG 😛

I get the same thing using AVG.

Same here Volux.
AVG is picking up a threat.

My technician says it's a false positive in some of the Javascript code, god knows what that means but apparently it got sorted 😕

Looks better. Oh...there seems to be a huge space on the right side? 😵

Very strange, anyone else getting this?

Chrome and IE don't have that problem for me.

Decent theme. Keep it.

No problem for me like the strange space or virus threat. I'm using free Avira.

I think your blog theme is okay. Maybe just make a more appealing banner, a bigger one with more color and slogan or at least text explaining what the site is actually about. The forum theme needs more tweak, especially in terms of icons, IMO.

I like the basics of what you have. I think you can work on it and make it look a lot better. No need to get a brand new one though.

Some examples: where you have your header-bg.png as a repeated image, replace that with an image that is related to gaming. Like a Mario stage, but have the opacity turned down so that it's not distracting, but still visible.

Same with the plain one-off grayish color that you have on either side of the website. That can be turned into something more gaming related and really spice up the website.

Your forum could use some spicing up as well. Your on/off/offlock images can be changed to something like your LevelUnlocked logo. And again, the plain color on either side can be made into a nice stylized image.

Also, you should keep your favicon the same across both your website and your forum for consistency.

*Note: I'm not getting the virus detection anymore that I posted in your other topic. Using premium avast!

I'm using Chrome and I see nothing either.
