I finally finished my new design of the Nerd Council. I pretty much took this theme: Simple Machines - Dilber MC and tore it apart and gave it a total makeover. So, what do you think?

I'm mostly looking to see how you like the design, but I'm also up for a review in the other areas. Thanks!

For an SMF theme this is really nice! A lot of SMF themes I've seen are cluttered and very extravagant. This one is simple but with some jazzed up touches and well executed.

One thing I noticed however is that you have two 'Login and Register' links, and that the Tabs in the thread view (i.e Print) are upside down.

Also, who is the person on the left in your logo, It really stumped me

On a first glance I couldn't see any mods on your site, that's not to say that you need them though.

If I was to pick one mod your members would enjoy, that would be an arcade.

From the outset, the forum looks incredibly friendly to a visit, it appears happening, open and inclusive.

I know it's hard to devise forum guidelines that your members will feel comfortable with.

The rules that you've chosen seem to be appropriate for your member group and show that you have an understanding of what your members want.

You have also chosen appropriate moderators who are taking an active role in the community

The majority of your forum choices are well thought out. The only major problem is that it seems that 'Computer Corner' and 'Technology something' seem to overlap a bit.

Overall, nice forum!

Thanks for the comments. You're right, the buttons are upside down (I was hoping nobody would notice, but, as that's not the case, I'll fix them). As for modifications, guests can't normally see it, but how's this. Anyway, I always brushed off the idea of having an arcade, but now that I think about it, it's actually pretty good for my existing forum demography. I think I'll add one.

I see what you mean with the categories. My idea behind it was to have computer related stuff in one category and other forms of technology in another. Did you have any ideas for alternative organization?

Again, thanks for the review. It really helped.
