Wow theme design

[Teg]

So just wanted to Get some feedback on my wow forum theme design. I'd appreciate any and all comments and suggestions. guildlaunch.proboards.com/page/forum

Not bad! Simple, and to the point.

As far as feedback tho, if it helps at all, I'm having a hard time with the boards. It's a lot of information pressed up together with no real visible separation apart from categories, and my eyes are kind of jumping around unsure what i'm looking at.

Actually, I think that is pretty nicely done. I'm not horribly bothered by the boards although maybe it wouldn't hurt to put a margin-bottom to move them apart just a bit. The only thing I'm unsure of is if I like the gray textured border starting below the banner. It kind of bugs me there and makes me feel like there is more to see of your banner (I know there isn't) since it appears to be tucked behind the border. I wonder if it wouldn't look better surrounding the banner but I'd need to see it both ways to decide. But that just might be me. Otherwise, one of the nicer and neater themes I've seen. Good job!

Thanks guys for the comments and suggestions. In reference to spacing our the boards a bit do you recommend doing it just at the bottom or on the sides as well?

tumbleweed I'm not sure what border you are referring too

Teg - My biggest problem is straight down the middle, so however you decide to accomplish that works for me (:

Border is what we have referred to as background behind and encompassing the forum. There is the gray textured background surrounding the forum.

Appears to be in the id "main-wrapper"

I added margins to the bottom of each board section. Are you referring to adding some space between the boards down the center on the page?

Oh okay. The banner is actually transparent against the background which includes what looms like a banner. I could move the border around the forums down but I thought it looked better with the menu and such as if it were being grabbed by the character in the background image. If I did move the border around the forums down, there would be way too much space between the menu and forums.

Awww, yes, that would look bad then moving it behind the banner since the banner is transparent.  What about using z-index to move the banner on top of that gray? But really, it's not a big deal and I'm probably the only one bothered a tiny bit by that anyway so don't worry about it.

The best place for you to ask for this Request a Plugin board, or you can PM Teg directly.

In this particular design, The "Forum" page is actually a custom built page with custom css settings. I don't have time to do it for you at the moment as I'm working on a project, however, give me a week or two and I can see what I can do. Also, I plan to redo it so that it's actually not a page, but a template modification. Once I do the mod, I will post it for people to use.
