The time you spend here you should spend it on your forum tweaking the style, developing your community, improving SEO, etc...

I spent hours last night tweaking some of the glitches. Google discontinued third party support so I had to change the forum admin email to an outlook address.

It was vaulable. What's something simple I can do that will fix the appearance? No gimmicky stuff like those buildings or the DONT TALK/TALK pededstrian.

Have a designer make a logo is all I can say. You want something that looks good big, small, on black, on white, on a T-shirt/sticker, and in your header.

That's subjective. You want appeal and utility. And as mentioned before, something scalable. That looks as good on phone screens as it does on desktop. Branding.

I was thinking of replacing the node images with symbols. As for the logo, I can keep it as is for now, I can't afford to have it professionally desinged.

Yeah no one is saying "Don't Walk Do Talk" is your tagline, I pictured it almost like a Easter egg, so if you have a city image header, you just replace the words. Kinda cool!

A more streamlined look will look better on mobile.
