If you were changing your icons than they wouldn't be exactly the same as on here. Unless your site is only for real life friends or personal contacts, I would suggest putting your categories on private and leave your general stuff, such as rules and information about your site, open to guest viewing. Otherwise you won't be getting any new members.
But that's only if you wanted to get random new people on your site. Just keep in mind that no one here will be able to look at anything on your site to give anything but general feedback based on past experiences. Usually the only other times you see a forum page like that in guest view is when a forum is in Maintenance mode or inactive but no one deleted the forum. Makes it seem like a dead site.

1) Your forum doesn't allow guest viewing so we can't see anything unless we have an account. Might want to change that in your General Settings.
2) Sometimes you need to refresh again for the images to switch properly. Make sure that you updated the correct image in the correct skin, and there was no linking problem. Png's and gif's are the best choice for file extensions just because they allow transparent backgrounds. Never tried tiffs, but I do know that jpegs work, but they have no transparent background capability.
3) Yes, you'd have to change the icons separately for every skin. This is pretty nice since then for different skins you can have suitable themed icons instead of every skin with the same thing

Google:
Cbox Chatango Chatroll
Any of those are free, easy to make, and are premade code that you just plop into your header or footer on any page in your forum

I'm also have issues with this. I just created this account here and it's fine, but when I tried to make a forum: mlogc.proboards.comIt sent an activation email but they all lead to the 'Sorry, this doesn't exist' page. In the last month I've been encountering problems with creating accounts. 1 instance I got the activation code but the forum never actually created the account. 2nd instance was the forum created the account but the activation code was never sent.
