Ok, I have never used FUD forum before, after spending a lot of time switching between forums, openbb and ipb for example and you know why? The name, something about it just calls to me, "dodgy", and a whole lot of other words you probably don't want to hear.
The other reason I never gave it a shot was the home page just reinforced my first impressions.
So I suggest a name change and a site redesign. Oh, please don't even consider a name like *bb or *forum, something original is best, a read English word, or a word from another language that means something good and also has a good sound to it.
Thanks for listening, and good luck!

Think of me as wise, or completely insane!

As for the design, give table cells some more padding af the very least
|
I agree that the default tables need more padding. I solved this by modifying this style in forum.css.tmpl:
.MsgR2, .MsgR1, .MsgR3, .MsgIg {
background: #DEE2E6;
border-bottom: 1px solid #AAAAAA;
padding: 1px;
}
Change "padding" to about "7px". I also think that the box for the current time draws too much attention. I changed this to:
.curtime {
padding: 3px;
white-space: nowrap;
}
As far as the name goes, well, that's what custom themes are for. Aside from the tiny copyright message at the bottom of the page, your users need never see it.
