Nice site Sketchi

I like the way the sponsored links flow within your site. Very Nice!

There seems to be a problem with your date/time it looks out of the place, along that line, your logo and sign-in doesn’t line up well. These are minor things to fix.

You look like you a great number of members. I would guess by the number of post/threads you have some hidden forums? So I can comment on those.

Looks like all the sites I have looked at today have this grayish and blue colors happening.

Good job, Keep it up!

I think I've reviewed your forums somewhere else before...anyways, I love the logo, very unique.

I do think that the header could use some cleaning up though, there just seem to be too many different elements thrown together in there with no borders. This goes for the footer as well. Just too much stuff.

I would also make more of those forums viewable to guests. This doesnt mean that you have to make them readable, but when I first look at your forums, it doesnt look like there is much there...I have to read around and look at stats before I realize that something is hidden.

Lastly, I dont like at all how your threads are displayed...the box containing the poster information is not the same size as the post itself. Not sure if it's supposed to be like that, but it makes it look broken.

There's one thing that it's a little bit hard to get. You have TOOO many ads on the bottom part of your forums. And you have a super big visa card on the banner above. Try to balance these things, it might look nicer than already is

@demojames: What resolution are you using? I've tried to keep it 800x600 compatible, but I know there are two areas on the top where it isn't. Those being the contest ad (Visa gift card) and the title image on the right, and the four random tutorial thumbnails on the left, which I will fix by changing to three.

@Ryan: Probably at AT. The posting display is supposed to be like that, I thought it looked nice.. maybe I'll change it. Also, I'll make the other forums visible to guests.

@mrdiaz: The Visa gift card is an advertisement for a contest being held on my forums, the $50 Visa gift card is the prize. Also, there are only two ads on the bottom, the 88x31's are link exchanges (though, technically ads). There are two other images, marked SOTW (Signature of the Week) and WOTM (Wallpaper of the Month), those are contest winners.

@amitpatel_3001: YPN doesn't allow you to change the color of the "Ads by Yahoo!" link. It chose white by itself lol.

@Everyone: Thanks a lot for the comments guys, I have a few changes to make.

The poster's info and the post body has potential. I think it would look better, and perhaps quite good, if you were to change the background color behind the poster's info...right now it is white. Might look better if you were to change it to be closer to the color of the tables, I'm not quite sure.

That's what I thought it was. The title and contest images are too big for 800x600, so they squish the other side. Unless you have like a 12 inch monitor, you should think about using 1024x768
