You absolutely need to change the color of all the text. The text is way too bright for me. It hurts my eyes. The colors for the staff is pretty hard to read. It almost camouflages into the colors.
Basically you just need to fix all the text colors and work on the skin (Which you already are aware of).
Also, you should work on the banner. It is pretty large for one.
Overall, I would give it around a 3/10

- I don't mind the skin..I like the default 'blank' skin ProBoards forums have when first started.
- About your staff chatroom/shout box, you mite wanna make it (if possible) so only staff can see it. Maybe make a staff only board and move the chat there.
- Boards and Categories; I think you have a bit to many boards on the main page. The more boards on the front page= more scrolling & more time to get to the bottom of the forum.
- You mite wanna try and get at least 1 post in each board..maybe some info regarding that board, or even start some rp's...give your members a thread to post in and to show them the forum can be active if the members post.
Other than that, it's ok for a new forum, but potential, it has.
My final rate is the same as Nudge's. 3/10 |

Thanks for the advice ;D I see what you mean by putting a thread in each board, ya it will give somewhere for members to post. I'll try to shorten my boards, but it might not work for the territories for each clan. ;D But I shall try.

If perhaps the RP requires it, then never mind about the boards suggestion.

I fixed my site up. I started posting on some of them and I added a few codes to my site also to make it more better. So what do you think of it now? Click Here if you don't want to go all the way back up to say what you think about it now. |

- It has a nice background to fit the theme, but you must do something about the color theme, it goes horribly with the background, and it hurts to look at after awhile.
- You have enough boards to keep everyone busy that joins, so you did good on that.
- Maybe you could try doing something a bit more for the new/old buttons beside the boards.
- The overall lay-out is understandable but not very good, so don't be thinking you're going to impress anybody.
4/10 Spend more time on the Color Theme, and if nothing else get a pre-made skin.

You have a nice amount of boards. I think the boards are perfect. You don't have to do a lot of scrolling. The skin on the other hand.... You need to really work on it. The colors don't match and it's bright. For me it's hard to read the texts because the skin is so bright it reflects off of my contacts, so it hurts my eyes even more.
This information here.
and
You should bold the subject like Admin, territory, etc so it's easier to notice and read.
Overall you get a 4/10

You're all so helpful. I now understand what you mean about the skin, you're right it doesn't even match! The bolding, ya I'll try that it does make sense since I had put everything right up against each other so it wasn't very big which does make it harder to read.
Thanks for the rankings. ;D I'm trying my best to get a higher rank and I'm working there slowly which is good for a new site.
Oh and I have a question. How do you change the new/old buttons on the side of the boards? Is that one of the proboards codes?

Well the new colors you have now are a bit better, but I still suggest you go with a pre-made template. Though the colors you have now I see no problem with.

Once done with that go to admin --> Skins / Forum Colors --> Customize Images |

Nobody knows. Trust me though. They are nice prizes.
