    What do you think? I personally think it's really good. This is my first attempt at a proper thread layout.

    It's a little basic, but I think it looks really good. Very good start at making thread layouts.

    Thanks :) I wanted it good, but easily readable.

    Well it is very easily readable! My suggestion would be possibly changing the first letter of each sentence to a different color, such as red. To make it stand out a bit more. For example:

    Terms of Service:

    And then the first letter of each sentence below that title.

    That's a good idea :) Although, I'm not sure if it will keep the theme?

    What do you mean? :p I'm sure it would look fine, and you don't have to make that letter red. Maybe even a darker version of the color that's already there to keep the current theme.

    That looks decent, maybe even darker. Hard to see at first glance.

    I'll do the whole thread layout, see what it looks like.

    Ye, thanks for the idea. I was a little big against it at first, but now I've seen it, it draws your eye yo the main part. Thankyou :)

    I don't get it. You could get it to look exactly the same with just using text on the forum. Basically all you've done is changed the font. But, if you like it then that's cool.

    Kindof basic and awkward looking.. I'd suggest you to take one more good look at it and try to find what you can do differently.
    Here, let me give you a tip: drop shadow on the text, bam, smooth!
    You gotta find out the rest for yourself ^^

    Thread Layout

    Some parts of the text are hard to read and bunched up. Use a more legible font, this is crucial for market threads.

    ~Having that font for the title would be good, but as for the details in thread, no.

    I have been given advice from a master :) I'll try it later, but at the moment I have ~6 threads that need answering :p

    Thread Layout

    Take a look at my Zeal thread in my signature, I did that layout with very minimal work, took maybe 15 minutes max. It's just a bit of drop shadow, gradient overlay and stroke. With that little editing, it doesn't look like text anymore, but more nice and smooth looking rather than just font.
