hi and welcome to TWF!

first of all: i like your colors. nice combination of red, black, grey. am i wrong or is it nearly the same red as TWF is using?

your header (register, control panel, ...) is somehow special placed. by 'special' i mean it's nor centered, it's nor left- or right-aligned. just hangin' round at the top. i would it make left or right-align.

coming to the footer. it's somehow messed up: there is an ad, copyrights, two links and some board-information (contact us, privacy...). it's not obvious what belongs to what. probably you want to make ad and the 2 links leftaligned and take down the board-information to just above the copyright (black one).

in the forums, don't you want to use images for 'view profile', 'edit', 'pm', ...?

that's my thing...

Wow, Nice changes.

Merlin, he has used those smae colors in all of the edev designs.

Looks good, I dont like the way the banner is implimented. But the top ad is implimented very nicely. Good job there. The bottom looks a little too un orgnaized, have the banner aligned right so it will go under the rounded corner. That would add to its effect.

your Icons also match the site very nicely.

Nice colors. The fuzzy edevboards logo kinda bothered me a bit. Try making some mouseovers on the navigation bar like on register, control panel, member list, and so on. That would liven it up a little. The rest looks pretty good.
