My First Forum - Please Review

[nevetS]

OK, so after months and months, I've finally found the time to actually start implementing a real messageboard.

I'm interested in any feedback you can provide, and I'll throw a link in the direction of anybody that can help me out.

The forum is located at: Mom Talk

The forum is meant to be a place for moms and moms-to-be to get together. It's vbSEO'ed, with a custom style that I finally put together myself. It might look like a standard vB installation, but let me tell you - I spent a whole lot of time tinkering with every little setting I could get my hands on. (Way too much time...)

I'm concerned that I'm blind to some obvious problems because I'm hoping to be done soon, and my own ego combined with my utter lack of experience may be getting in the way.
