1. Wtf is up with your banner, Whats Downl?
2. your layout is muffed theres a bottom scroll bar which is annoying. (Main forum is fine)
3. Visitors thing you have is not very good to show as you have not got much members.
4. i Like the skin but the header(banner) is very wrong the sizes are wrong.
5. On your main forum you have "guest downloads" accept theres 1 post :/ post alot more in there if you want guest downloads also show your whole forum just dont allow guests to posts/make threads.

Sorry for the negative points i just saw alot of things i dont like.

i do like your skin although it could do with a bit of colour.

Well the whole site is looking good but the banner has gone out of the site lol
Change it
Fit it according to the space
for example, put this TAG
<img src="URL" title="Area 51 Downloads" height="200px" width="??px>

Try various combinations for width="??px"
I think 1000px would fit on your site..
Just try to fit it
1000px if not then 900px if not then 950px etc...

advice taken will fix banner which banner do you mean forum header banner which one ? take of guest scrool thing, and open up whole forum for guests thxs for the advice.

also going to change board icons for coloured ones looking at the moment for some.

Hello,
Find another template man, this dark one is not comfortable, the combination of colors with it does not fit.
Remove the register now thing, you should put all your work after finding a nice template on inserting valuable content, because that is what will make guests register more than a "Register now" banner.
to summarize my opinion : i did not like the portal , it has a lot of not fitting mixed colors. although the forum looks neat .

Good luck mate!

well i like portal will be handy when i put html links for warez sites etc on there, but fair points and taken onboard i like the dark theme, but will be chaging some things like board logo images etc .

thxs for the advice

and i like the theme its easy on my eyes each person has there prefrence to themes this is mine and the members we have like it also.

@ echo i just checked your site the white theme is to plain for my likeing but hey thats why everyone has different tastes.
