On my widescreen monitor the actual forum portion of BF only fills about 1/3rd of the screen, which is really annoying. Variable width independent of screen resolution ftw?

Oh and ditch the navigation bar/poll on the side, those belong on the portal/homepage not the actual boards.

And lastly, I feel the grey colours are too light compared to the rest of the skin... though maybe it's just because I'm used to dark colour schemes being... well... dark.

I find it immediately visually appealing, but it does have its shortcomings. LB kinda nailed it with 1-7...although I really do like the skin's appearance. It mostly just needs an expansion, so that it's not so crammed together.

I absolutely LOVE the header/banner though. From the navigation bar up, BF kicks total ass. =P

That version looks better, but don't make the width just fit the screen, leave a little room on the sides.

Just expand the forum to the black part that you see when you scroll down past the polls/advertisement. That should be plenty more width.

The more I look at it, the more I think it needs to be redone. The background needs to be fixed to match the width or better yet just make a new one.

Stripped down version is too plain.

The one that I'm staring at...it's hard to differentiate between normal post and stickies, like loads of random listings in the classifieds. And the post width is way too narrow for my liking. I like the button design but I don't like the font that say "report" "quote" etc. Don't know how to describe it but it's a little too...Arial Narrow and one too many lab reports. Overall colours are alright though, but will have to see what happens if I log in at 2am and feel whether my eyes want to cry at the time.

I like it. I think it's a nice change..but it is a bit skinny. I also think the blue part could be darker like the side tables..but still, overall I do like it. It's neat!

I must say that it kinda sucks that the text is in such small sizes.

And btw, I can't vote on the poll.

The only poll that's there.

And yes, I left. Coming back once in a while doesn't mean I'm gonna stay.
