    You're off to a great start. :)

    Nice style - I assume that it's a pre-made theme? It looks clean and professional. As the forum grows, I'd consider having a custom theme created for the community. While this isn't necessary, it will assist in creating a more unique environment.

    Nice site, the theme is easy on the eyes. But, you really need some kind of anti-spam protection. All your using is captcha, which the spam bots broke a long time ago.

    Quick reply should not require a click, keep it simple for people to post more.

    x.x To know the designer of that skin made the Kumby one, which is horrible, I'm surpised.

    The welcome email needs a link to the site in it. All it has is the typical "welcome to <insert site name here>" but no hyper link for people to click on, or even the site address.

    There is a difference between the site name, and the site address. The welcome email just has the site name.

    I really like your logo and spaceflight theme; I personally think everything below the header needs a bit more color though.

    Lookin' good so far! I saw that theme released somewhere and I wanted to start a new forum just to have a use for it, because the color-selector is so neat! :lol:

    I think the margins on the sides are too wide. Some reduction there (just a little bit) would perhaps increase the overall look.

    Lastly, the "Latest Threads" in the footer is empty. :shrug:

    Best of luck to you on this project! :)

    Yeah, I haven't been able to work out why that hasn't been working. I've enable the external javascript as suggested, but still nothing.

    Thanks for your comments though!
