Redoing the Forum

So, as you can see I have added a portal, and Changed the forum theme; I would like your feedback on all of this. Soon I will begin designing new icons etc. for the forum I was thinking perhaps you could tell me what you'd like the icons to be, for the forum activity (New Posts, No New Posts, Popular No New Posts, Popular New posts, locked, etc.) So, I'd like some constructive criticism. I will make the siege Section of the forum available in the Portal eventually.
