A few likes: - masthead image is crisp and professional-looking
- header font (Open Sans Condensed) in small caps is a good choice
- shadow effect on header fonts is visually pleasing, but the shadow parameters seem inconsistent across the various elements where shadows are used. Compare the shadow in the main menu bar (right-down drop shadow) to the shadow on "New Event" on the calendar page (left-down drop shadow). Or compare the shadowed headers on the various "Staff", "Info", "News" headers to the unshadowed headers elsewhere on the site.
- the overall brown-and-muted-grays colour scheme is eye-pleasing. The darker brown borders and embellishments round out the look nicely.
Some dislikes:
- on Firefox, your board and sub-board descriptions appear to have fixed height, forcing longer board descriptions into a scrolling fields if they exceed the allotted height. This is, for lack of a better word, unsightly. It's also unnecessary. You can remedy the problem by either removing the fixed height restriction, increasing the allotted fixed height, or reducing the length of some of the board descriptions. The fixed height restriction is also responsible for pushing text outside of its bounds (e.g. "The Scratching Post" and "The Workshop" boards under the "First Things First" category, and numerous others).
- the background graphic has a distorted aspect ratio, is pixelated, and doesn't tile elegantly
- the orangish text isn't suitably contrasted against the midtone brown backgrounds. Combine this with the inordinately small fonts and some of the text is nearly impossible to read.
- the search bars (containing the page lists, search box, etc.) don't appear to have any consistent theme applied to them. They're matte gray. Some of the controls have the brown colour scheme of the theme and others are the standard black and white. The inconsistency is jarring.
- your "up" and "down" cat images on the right side of the page (for paging to the top and bottom, respectively) are off in alignment by a few pixels. It detracts from the crispness of your site.
General suggestions:
- you might want to add a thin white border to the characters in "Shattered Alley" on the masthead, which will improve contrast between the black text and the varied background behind it
- your site would benefit from a run-through with a spelling and grammar checker. There are numerous free online tools that will perform this service for you. One stand-out example is the final paragraph under "Credits", which should read "Shattered Alley is not responsible for its members' individual behaviors such as, but not limited to, copyright infringement or harassment. Shattered Alley does not condone these behaviors or support them in any way."
Also, it's worth pointing out that you are responsible for individual members' copyright infringement and harassment. Or more specifically, you're responsible for ensuring content meets Proboards community guidelines.
While I'm here, I might as well also call your attention as to how to improve your site content.
