Just a quick critique:
What I like:
--I like how you styled your quick links on the side. I always like that move over thing on hover. --I like the font style for the name of your site. --I like that you used a side table for important info and your chat box. --I like the tabbed categories. --I think you did a good job of keeping like boards in the same category so things are organized.
What might need improvements:
--I do like the idea of your banner but to me it looks like you cut and pasted to to the left to make it the right size and it doesn't blend nicely. The globe thing just looks odd with country names on it. I like the idea of someone sitting on the globe (earth/world) but it needs to look rounded rather than flat and shouldn't have that straight line on the left of it where it looks to be cut and pasted.
I'm also not so sure about the color of the banner text and the "R" in "runs" doesn't look like a 'R" at all and that word is unreadable. As far as the yellow, I might like it more if there were that yellow somewhere else on your site to tie it in. Like new off/on icons in yellow or board tiles in yellow. Just small touches somewhere else.
--I like the left hand side of your background color but hate the glaring sun or whatever behind that planet. No one wants the sun glaring in their eyes in real life nor on web site. One thought is to just copy the left side, make it seamless and make it your whole background. I have another suggestion but first read my next thoughts on your tabbed categories.
--As I said, I like the tabbed categories/boards but in some categories you have so few boards that it leaves the side tables hanging way further down so not sure it was the best idea. Also the first visit to the site has no boards showing and I think that looks bad with just side tables and a big empty space. I'd suggest having the first categories board show. I believe removing the display:none would do the trick.
I said I have an idea on how to keep using the tabbed categories without it looking silly with the side tables extending so far down and so few boards. What you could do is add a maybe a favorite quote in that yellow color you have in your banner so it is always there below the boards and rather large. Maybe make the text sideways or written at a slant or something interesting and in that pretty font style or maybe add another cool image. Just something to be there that looks intended rather than an unintended space.
--On your thread page, the stars you have under ratings look bad although I kind of like the idea of ratings. They should be transparent and smaller. If you need stars I have gazillons of them on a site not open to guests but I can pm you a link and open it a bit for you. I also have just a few posted here but probably not what you want: support.proboards.com/thread/543614/stars
--I didn't look at most of your posts for spelling/grammar but did look over your rules and in the first paragraph, second sentence your "I" in 'if" need to be capitalized. I also find that font hard to read and it looks so tiny below your big RULES font. Maybe up the size just one pixel or pick a different font type.
I said this was a quick critique but took longer than I planned so will end it now. Hopefully I gave you something to think about and remember, I'm just one person and it is just my opinion only.

Thanks so much for taking out the time to review our site! We made some tweaks right before you posted this. As far as the tabs go, where do I find "display:none?"

owlone,
I can't look at your site and I don't remember off hand if you used Shorty's code or if there is another code floating around. By the way, your site has been down for me the whole day. Says "Web server is down".
But if you are using this code:
support.proboards.com/thread/430928/tabbed-categories
It says what to change in the red and what to add to your css. If it isn't the code and you aren't sure which code it was then I'll have to wait until I can view your site.

Hey, I apologize for the site being down. I wasn't it was even down, but it should be up now as I'm online currently. I was also if we needed anything could come to you? You have been a great help. Now back to the task at hand, that is the code I used. I'm just not sure what I would need to change.

Now back to the task at hand, that is the code I used. I'm just not sure what I would need to change. No, it isn't down because of anything you did. You being online or offline, guests should always be able to see your site. It is some sort of server problem and it looks like it is cloudflare problem. If it isn't up when I get up tomorrow I'll go ahead and make a post in support to see what the problem is because if I can't see it then there might be others who can't.
In that thread it is the part talking about the red numbers.

Hey owlone,
First wanted to say, the reason why your link isn't working is because you have an "s" in there after the http (I spaced off that the link didn't work the first time I tried it and I just did a google search for your site and promptly forgot I did that.)
<a href="https://rpverse.boards.net/">https://rpverse.boards.net/</a>
That is only used for security when logging in or banking done online. Wasn't a server thing at all.
Viewing you site I see your category 1's boards but I may still have the cookie stored so it remains open. Your first category is 1 so the two 3's should be 1. And then make sure you have the css. You may already have that part.

Hey I think I fixed it. I just change the 2's to 1's and it defaulted community to stay open. Is that what you're referring to?
