Not bad, better than mine anyways.
I am starting to understand why colour matching is so important, especially for a forum. It makes reading much easier.

Designing a forum is more difficult than perceived.  I often ask people to review my forums in webmaster forums like this one, and I make various changes periodically.

I think that it is more important for regular members to review your forum instead of those webmaster's sites. Why? Because it's the users who will be using your forum, not those reviewers.

But this is not saying that their reviews are not important. They are, just that you should also listen to your member's views as well.

Go back to your user base and make things work for them first and foremost.  Sure, that's a great advice actually.
