I agree with the earlier comment about the left bar looking a bit dingy. Also, the information is not formatted to automatically use the full screen width (tables sizes should use percentages not fixed width). If you do go for a redesign it would probably be better to have fewer lines – separate items with ‘white space’ instead. Logo is good, although again a bit of a dark background, and it is good to see a site without flashing or wiggling things! I can do a more detailed assessment if you want, but you’d have to pay for it (or do a deal)!
Forum is a great idea – thanks!
