Hi theyapps. There isn't really much to critique here since it is just a one page forum. But I did notice a few things. The drop shadow on graphic at the top of the bassett has been cut off and it looks as though it has been optimized too much. Have you thought about blending the edges into the background instead of cutting them off squarely?
I noticed that you have three different names/links for the home page.
1. Bassetts Rule Forums
2. Forum Home
3. Homepage
Might be a good idea to choose one link name and use it consistently. Could confuse some hounds.

k the image ill fix that and the links ivenoticed and am workin on thats part of the script so im having to do some php coding but ill have it done in a few minutes
The logo could definitely use improvmeent. That drop shadow is way too big. Maybe try to vary the colours a little more in the forum backgrounds - like make the light blue lighter or the dark one darker for example.
I agree that the logo needs some work as it looks blurry with that drop shadow and the black text on the blue is far too hard to read after a short while!

There seems to be too much blue. Maybe try adding another color.
I can't read the text. Maybe change the text to white or change the background color.

Definitely a problem reading the black text on dark blue background. I can't read any of it. Cute idea though and fine apart from that.
