| Not sure if anyone will like them, but I decided to post a link anyway. I thought a greyscale theme would be interesting and to my knowledge hasn't been done elsewhere. So tell me what you think- http://www.outofcoloredink.com/forums |

No, but can't you still see the forums?
Edit: I logged out and noticed that the boards required registration. Sorry about that, it is now fixed. |

we can't see the forums without registering, can you just make a test account for all of us to login with?
like http://www.weeweeslap.com/forum/
username:snitztest
password:test
something like that, just an account for everyone who doesn't like registering at many forums. |

ok, I went again, I accessed the actual forums, but for the topics, you have to login as well. but from the face view seems, well just the active users mod and the forum just slightly edited to allow for that side menu. However I would suggest placing your menus either acroos the top or allon the side. Just a suggestion. It looks a little tacky, baring the simplicity in colors of your forum, to have two different rows of links. You can place them all on the side like my website.
http://www.weeweeslap.com/forum/ and have theme xpand to show the different options when on the forum page, like my site  The forum colors are pretty simple. I get a sort of calm feeling when on them. However the topics you cover seem to fit well with the colors I guess. |

| Your menu / graphics across the top are not well balanced and your forum looks mis-aligned becaues ot it - I would create a stronger structure if I were you - it would look much better then. The grey scheme is nice. |

I don't know how to move the links at the top or the login/logout boxes.
weeweeslap I would like to know how you did that with your forums? |

Color scheme is cool. I would agree that the header logo is a bit tall. I would make it shorter, but wider, especially with the side menu bar, it looks offcenter even though it's not.
Your menu links are a bit large, and the box for Site Links isn't as wide as the rest of the menu boxes. I would widen that a bit to make it fit the rest of the boxes.
I just clicked the links in your menu. Perhaps you could work to get the forum to fit within that box theme you've got on the rest of the site (and maybe incorporate some of that blue you've got thrown in the rest of the site. It really stands out nicely. |

| well about the links the way I have them, I didn't do it, redbrad0 did that for me, so it'll probably be best to post a topic for him in the forums. I just run my site and do occasional easy" add-ins. Sorry that I can't help you out further |

I really like the color scheme, but in order to better integrate the forum with the rest of the site, I feel like setting the forums to a fixed width that mirrors the width of the header image, and moving all the links and login to a side box or the very top center bar, just so that it flows like the other pages.
Good start though. |

| The color scheme really does look good. The header graphic seems a little too large to me though. |
