   Banner
   The banner is nice but I don't get why you make those borders to it, it ruins everything. It perfectly matches the forum's theme and it's well designed but you must remove those borders.
   Navigation Bar
   I'm sorry but your nav bar looks horrible: the font is not good, the colors don't match at all and it's too big. Definately the first thing you must do is change it, it causes a very bad first impression.

I don't get why your "Who's online?" and "New posts - No new posts" pics are leaves.
Buttons: You kept the default ones that don't match with anything in your forum. You must change them.
Ranks: They are too big, it took a long time for me to realize that those huge pictures were ranks. Make them smaller.
Another thing I realized was that you're using the default online picture at the bottom at the messages. It can only be used with phpBB3.

Conclusion[/center]

What could be done to improve your forum:
The graphics were the worst thing, so probably work on that. Work on the grammar of the staff as well. Don't write "u" instead of "you" and write with capital letters at the beginning of each word.

The best thing I like about your forum:
The big amount of posts.

oh thank u alot n i have replies for all what u said!!!

ok so now the leaves and design and colors it should be for the autumn season we have we change the theme according to seasons and celebrations!!!
and the staff:
admins: whenever any admin graduate they assign an active and still not graduated member to be an admin so thats why there are 3 admins
and mods: well the point of that is we want the people to feel important and participate in the community coz most members seem to be only interested in getting study materials and leave without participating and we did a marketing campaign and we got some new members and stuff but not as supposed to be so that is a problem i dunno what to do with no matter what we did members won't post i dunno!!
n i will fix the banner
and about the homepage msg i had some problems with it, it won't just be as i wanted it to be it was fine before but i did something n it won't just be fixed!!!

i dont understand what u mean by forum pictures quality, ranks or empty portal??
can u explain more?
and if u have ideas about attracting people to post and participate i would appreciate that!!!

he means the portal is not being occupied on column 2. Actually, i noticed Nacho didn't mentioned all of the things needed to be fixed and didn't maked it clear. I could make a new and deeper review about your forum but not necessary now, a reviewer may fix that review, You can request another review next week.

uhm ok this forum is very strict with lots of rules that i dont understand but its helpful so thnx!!!

just be updated on this topic, reviewers might that review. As i've said above, Nacho didn't noticed some things needed to be fixed.

ok will do!!!!

here's an additional stuff to nacho's review.

First impressions:I've seen that your portal looks empty because no wide widget is placed on the column 2 or simply you disabled guests to view the news part of your forum. I would suggest you to add a widget on column 2 with the news on your forum and letting guests to see it.

Categories and Forums:There are no descriptions on every forum and this makes your forum look more empty, i would suggest you to have all of the forums having descriptions so the guest will know what is the function of each forum. Also, i would suggest you to place the advetisment forum to the most bottom because it is just an advertisement place for your members.

Colors: The colors are dark green+dark blue, i would suggest you to have lighter colors, white plus yellow would be great on your forum.
