    I think you have professional confused with corporate or business-like. Having a professional doesn't mean you have to sacrifice creativity or quality. A professional site design would make sure that it readable, easy to use and caters to the user while fitting the design criteria of the end-user. An amateur site design would not take these into account.

    Unfortunately, this site looks very amateurish. Mostly because of a lack of contrast and over-use of gradients.

    Sorry, you're right.

    As I said, there are some parts in which I would have stopped using gradients, like thread display.

    Nice looking theme that matches the topic of your site. But I liked the old them as well.

    Thanks anyhow,

    This site is a hobby only and although it would be nice to see it rolling in some dollars, it's not necessary. The wife and I already have a great business that more than pays the bills.

    Thanks,


    This skin is actually closer to my original forum skin back when I ran phpbb3. That old skin you saw was supposed to be a temp skin to get me by a couple of weeks when I made the switch to vB. But it turned into a months.
