I didn't see a suggestions board so I figured suggestions go here.
I think there should be different skins for the forum. Or at least a darker one.
Forum skins are copied from site skins. Nobody seems to have submitted any - the dev kit is in this topic (http://pkmn.net/forums/index.php?topic=98139.0)
Is there anyway of viewing a skin before submitting it? Because it's quite hard to visualise what a colour will look like on the site
If you open forums.htm and page.htm in your preferred browser, it should show you exactly that (a few bits are a bit out of date now, but not anything that should matter much when designing)
