Thought I'd point out a few things that are bugging me

1) The little images that tell you if there are new posts or not in a forum and aligned at the top of the cell, they should be centered. Screenshot
2) The Subforums: bit should be the same grey colour as the Short Description: bit. Screenshot
3) The small images that tell you if there are new posts in the sub-forums arn't links. They should be linked to mark all posts in that forum read. In the picture the green one is linked and the red ones are not. Screenshot
4) Errors in the 0 A.D. and TLA forums, see image for details. Screenshot

Hmm - your image links aren't working for me. It insists on taking me back to the ImageShack home page.

I think they're upgrading or something because when I follow the links Firefox tries to download the page "which is a: application/x-httpd-php"

The bullets on the subforum listing should probably be using list-style-image. That way it won't look odd when the text has to wrap around to the bottom.

Can you show me a screenshot, David please? If they used list-style-image I cannot make links out of them to mark forums as read, which I am planning.

Links as read: good point.

Normally, it doesn't do this, but I never have a windows full size, so it does wrap to the next line for me.

It's just a tiny little annoyance, hence me posting it under "Various nit picks"

Hrm yeah sucks. But I think I can only put there a table for each of the link, which would result a slower loading time. Not sure if the advantage of the change would justify the drawback.. Your thoughts?

Keep it as it is.
It's just a tiny annoyance. Not anything worth a complicated fix.

The only theme it does create a bit of a problm is the TLA theme because the icons are so big. But it probably makes more sense just to shrink the icons in that case.

Yeah, we could really shrink those icons. Asking Adam for it.

Okay, he is of the opinion that the icons need be so big or else they don't look good. So, they won't be changed me thinks.
