Instead of saying "It's ugly, I hate you, Ashe", can you explain why? Is it because you're just not fond of grey/white or is it the background or whatever? How can you expect something you like when you don't even tell me the reason for your dislikes? I'm sorry if I sound a little irritable, but I did do a lot of work on this site so at least some useful feedback would be more appreciated than "It's butt ugly."
'Build' a blacksmithing shop if you wish, but traffic purely comes from the interest of other members. I cannot tell you if you'll get any responses. Gauge if it's necessary first, or just try it out.

Well, as Teemo has said, the swirling pattern is a little eye-sore.
Second, the colors seem to "clash" a little, and some stuff is a little harder to read now on the grey bars (I literally -just- noticed the new message indicator is in the topmost right corner.
Also, the chatbox is on the left. That's just awkward.
EDIT: The big logo doesn't redirect to the main page like it used to do before, either. That's not particularly bothering, but I'm wondering why it was changed.

1) The background will be fixed once I can find a suitable replacement.
2) I don't see how the colors clash. Yeah, the little purple on grey is a little difficult to see at times but I can't exactly help that since it comes with the coding. So unless you want me to revamp the whole site, you're going to have to deal with it until I can (again) come up with a solution. Those things down there are, you know, links. I can't customize every link with their own color so if I change the links down there to white, then it's gonna clash with the main grey that you see all the text on now (if people are linking things).
3) The chatbox on the left IS awkward, and I have mentioned that. But you weren't around when I put the silly thing on the right, and people were complaining about it being weird there too. So unless you want me to put it in the middle, I'll be working on something else. Some people like it on the left, some people like it on the right and really? Maybe I'll just put it at the bottom or something. Find middle ground and all that.
4) The big logo doesn't redirect because there's a HOME button in caps right beneath it. That and the coding for the banner redirect doesn't work with the current codes, and I'll be trying to figure out why as soon as people tell me they're too lazy to click the home button.
I'm not sure if you're using the word clash correctly XD
idk I don't exactly see any problems with the theme beyond the background which has been stated will be changed ._. It honestly sounds like when the new reddit for League of Legends came out and everyone got their panties in a bunch and complained simply because it wasn't the way it used to (albeit there were some usability problems, which tbh im not really seeing in this case beyond the big banner linking to home and a few colours that might not stand out enough).

I'm beginning to find that everything on the website is very small. Particularly with people using post templates that use even smaller text, I often have to zoom into the page a few clicks just to read it. Is anyone else finding this a problem, or am I just old and blind?
I think the tables are a little smaller, yes. But I'm not too sure - it seems to be okay for me - just that size 1 text has always been rather small. /:

Question: (not that it's important, I was just curious...)
I've noticed that my post counter is stuttering, sometimes coming to a halt. It doesn't really bother me, but I was just wondering if anyone else noticed theirs doing the same.
