What to do with upper nav?

[alexgeek]

What shall I do with my navigation at the top on unmoderated forums (http://www.unmoderated-forum.com/)?
Looks so boring and ugly, what effects would you recommend?
Thanks :pac::pac:

Pad above n beneath it, looks squash imo. They look like tabs from what i can see, are they? You can probably take out 'unmoderated' from them because they seem abit long for tab headings.

Change the rollover also. With that being said you don't have much colours to choose from because of the colour scheme the forum is. Maybe something you might wanna look at?

I'd place a graphic above that actual nav with the logo you've created. And remove the title beside the login section. No use in having 2.

Dunno if you get what I mean but goodluck with it.

They're important SEO links, so I want to try and keep the unmoderated in there.
I don't know what I should do with the rollover, any ideas?

"Place a graphic above the actual nav", what type of graphic?

The title needs to be there for SEO too, but I'll try and change it so that it fits in properly.

Oh I see. Mmmm well I'd forget about the graphic above it. But if you would want to experiment with it I'd say move the logo and banner above it so its a header type graphic.

But for rollovers I'd say remove the blue divider type thing. Center the links. And the rollover would be the box surrounding the link would change colour. Similar to http://www.devlounge.net navigation.

Improved the nav a bit.
Anymore suggestions for it before I work on a new logo?

You see how when the rollover is in effect there's that bottom part still there. Possible for you to include that in the rollover? If not that's cool.

Also do you think it would look better if the links were centered?

But other than that I like this version better than last.

[alexgeek]

I put that black line there, trust me it looks a lot better with it than without!

I would like it centered, but I'd prefer for all the text to be evenly spaced out, do you know how to do that with CSS?

Thanks for the help!
