From a usability perspective, some parts of the forum theme are terrible. The shades of blue used in some areas have very poor contrast between the text and background colors, leading to difficult reading. Combine this with a lot of text being tiny (9px!), and it makes for a very hard to use UI. Some particularly nasty text includes the poster info (join date, thanks, etc.) on the top right of posts and the private message information in the big bar at the top of the page. 11px is pushing it as a minimum font size, but even that still needs to have high contrast between the font and background colors.

The white text on bright blue background in the nav menu on the left is also difficult to read, due to poor contrast.
