Congratulations! Your free forum review has been completed. The forum review will hold many tips, suggestions, comments, and feedback that's convenient and voluntary for your forum. Here is your forum review:

Graphic Design & Layout

Graphics (Score: 12/15):
Banner
I really like how the banner color gets darker as you move down. The font is big enough and it is clear and legible. From looking at your banner, I could sort of tell what your forum is about which is good. One thing I can think of to improve the banner is to put a space between the "F", ":", and "B". Other than that, I think this is a very good looking banner and it matches your forum background.
Navigation Bar
The first thing I noticed here was that the Home button is a different color compared to the others. That might be because I have only clicked the home button. Anyway, again I think that the font is a good size and the text is clean and legible. I also like how you made the navigation bar purple so it matches a part of the banner. There is even spacing between all of them so this part looks pretty good as well.
Forum Icons
So far these are the only things that don't exactly fit with your forum. I scrolled down to the bottom of the forum and I could barely read which one was which since the text was a grey/silver. Also what looks bad is that they cover up the first letter or two on all the forums. For example, the Introduction forum is seen as "ndroduction". I don't know if it's because of the browser I'm using (Chrome) or if it happens on all browsers. Lastly, I would try to change the color of these icons so they match your forum a bit better. Try adding at least one purple one at least. Or Maybe you can have a dark purple for new posts, light purple for no new posts, and purple with a X or something for closed forum.
Forum Layout & Colors (Score: 7/10):
The colors for the most part stay consistent outside of the forum icons, so that's good. As for the layout, I think you should change the hierarchy of your forum. It looks bad in my opinion when all sub-forums are displayed. To change this, go to your admin panel and click display. Then click structure and hierarchy. I prefer the medium hierarchy, but it's your choice. I also don't understand why the Feedback and Suggestions forum has so many sub-forums in it that aren't related to feedback. Change those two things and I think you will have a very nice forum

Graphic Design & Layout total :: 19/25
