Site design v3...Comment me :)

Large images = long time to download on a 56k connection...

Although the blue pattern looks good... it doesn't seem to fit in with the rest of the homepage.
Splash pages tend to be a no-no nowadays too... People want content quickly, not have to keep clicking to see the content.

Personally, I think it'd be better for you to have the Forum index as the homepage, with a list of your affiliates (images) along the bottom or at the side somewhere... Instead of having a (pointless, because you've already got the affiliates logos on the forum page) separate links section.

Sorry to be so critical, but hope it helps.

I don't want just a forum though...Planning to make the frontpage into something like my other site http://linuxaviour.com just with a better style.

Alright buddy...

I've changed some of it to make it less like a splash screen! :)

I'm just looking to include news from vbulletin...

[AnotherDesigner]

Looks much better than before :)

Positive: Simple, Effective color scheme, Looks good on mainstream resolutions, Small load times
Negative: Lack of SEO, Invalid use of tables, No rollover effects, Use of depreciated tags (i.e <font>), Does not pass validation (http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fcyber-phreaks.net%2F)

Well it didn't have too many errors.

I'm not a professional ;)

And hey man try validating this site lol.

Result: Failed validation, 500 errors

Hey, with a DTD (http://www.w3.org/QA/2002/04/valid-dtd-list.html) and some css your site could quite easily validate.

Thanks mate,
I'll get working on it.

Keep in mind I'm only getting good at html/css design :)
