ARRRR MY EYES! :'(

ALWAYS use "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" as your body font. Impact as body text? Gotta be kidding, Impact is best for lolcats and thats about it.

And if you are using CSS (which you clearly are looking at your source code) there is no reason why you should be using tables. :?

Use Arial and Helvetica as much as possible on forums; but bear in mind that a serif font is good for text-heavy sites where the main feature is reading, e.g. blogs, news-sites.

So, remove Impact, replace with Arial (possibly Verdana for the headers, although I hate that font). Also, never ever ever ever ever ever use Comic Sans.

Also, just looking at the login page (cba registering), you need a much more interesting foreground. The background image is far, far too dominant, and detracts from the foreground. The colour scheme is good, so make a gradient or something, and find a new image to replace that crappy one above the login. Also, remove the text from on top of that image. It's annoying.

thanks for the advise Stat but mind me asking, what is a
gradient :?:

and for some reason Helvetica isn't an option. And that ugly header is a default, so i was gonna change it its just i havent found anything yet.(i would be nice if you helped me out with that)



and guys this is my first site so be nice ok.
