With all this white bashing, it seems wrong of me NOT to post this.

apart from being a little bright nothing tbh 

Shame, I will remove them on the weekend then.

give it longer than that. a week at the bare minimum.

its a really neat touch to a really clever skin. i can see other forums seeing it and copying it.

good work liam, keep refining it. you should probably think about selling it too. (maybe change colors a little).

For the record I like the white, it's easier to read from...
 
...A couple of things I would change, which are minor and not essential, are peoples signatures appear below the end of the left section, if you look at soopah's post above it takes up a lot of space where it could take a lot less?
 
Also would kind of like to see a button at the top to show all unread posts, not just since last visit? i.e. this link http://www.tekforums.net/unread/?all;start=0
 
Like I said not essential...

I like the idea of the bubbles, certainly makes it easier to see the start and end of different peoples posts. The white also does make it easier to read, but at the same time depending on the screen and the lighting in the room it is a little painful.

Good effort though, much better than the default skin!

I quite like it, but it's a bit too much white imo.
If it was changed to the light blue that's up there ^^ where it says post reply.  That might work?

I think just a slight variance off white, may be better then if it's too bright, maybe a real light grey, I have just taken a screen shot then applied different colours in paint (I'm at work) and that takes the adge off it.
 
Also I don't like the white box around the avatar so much either, I think it works if the avatar is correctly proportioned, but mine doesn't work Would just look better especially if you are using a png with tansparency!

Great theme Nexus, it looks very clean

Now though I must continue my battle for saving my eye sight. I was amongst many who fought this same battle during the last XBox Dashboard Update Beta. And we, the users, won Just like everyone else is saying, either tone the white down a little or try a different colour (that ideally isn't day glow ))

Overall though, very nice work
