Give me some input on my theme please

Hey guys,
I've been planning a certain forum for a couple months and just got around to finishing the design (minus changes). So it would be great if I could get some input from the people here

It is based off subsilver2 that comes with phpbb3. The green accents relate to the forum (company colours) but I'm not sure if I should tone it down a bit (specifically the reply/newtopic buttons and make the light green forum and topic list backgrounds a bit lighter)

Well let me know your opinion (ignore the domain, it's an undeveloped domain I own)

Nice the greens great the new reply etc buttons look fab but the boards are too pale make them darker not lighter!

I think that is a great idea, I'm going to play around with the white background, thanks

Like the green in the header. Really makes things stand out. ITA about the pale green though.

It just wasn't loading before... now it is. Looks good... I think i would make the pale green a little darker or just make it a different color.

I like it but i dont like the pale green in the posts, topics and last post area.

Maybe make those an alternating gray.

Overall I'm very impressed. The theme looks clean, it's easy on the eyes (by that I mean I don't get a headache from looking at it) and green is my favourite colour so of course I'm going to like it.

However, I will say that I think the green cell backgrounds for the topics/posts/last post information on the main forum page is a little out of place. The whole row should be the same colour - if you have two it just looks a mess, really. This is even more a problem on the thread listing where you have alternating grey and green cells - it just doesn't work.

Also, I'd get rid of the green link rollover. Place your mouse over some of the links on your pages - some go green when you hover over them, others stay the same colour. You want all your links to stay the same colour, ideally, or all change to the same colour. Having some and some is an amateur mistake.

Good job, though. It's a nice skin.

Thanks!

So it was pretty unanimous about the pale green backgrounds so that is now a gray.

And I'm going to make the links perform the same

Also gonna darken some things so it isn't as bright
