Which one of these 2 styles do you prefer?

Forum Style 1
Forum Style 2

I am currently debating which style to make the default style.

Thanks

Style 1 ... even though it seems to take a bit longer to load ...

I like the first one, but the right side-bar is all blown out of whack in Opera & Firefox. Looks like the banner ads are doing it.
Strong with this one, the sudo is.

I like style 1 better. It looks cleaner and more appealing to the user.

I guess everyone prefers style 1.
I have decided to replace the style of the webmaster forum with the new custom skin.

Do you like the layout and the choice of colors? Or is it too blue-ish??

What suggestions do you have to improve the look and feel of this style?

I really like the rounded heading banner. If you could integrate that look into the inside forum groups I think it would look alot better, but I understand if you don't want to.

Also, maybe do a vertical flip of your top banner and use it as your footer :)

Style 1 looks better in my opinion. The header is done much better and the differing red color in your title makes it pop out real nice and professionally.

I also like how the ads on the first style aren't in their own frame.

Style 1 looks great and professional but style 2 is not so bad, it just need some changes in color.

I don't know why all like the first style... I prefer the second. It seems to me that the colors are better selected there, they suit the name of the forum - WebmasterGROUND. Why do most forums prefer blue as their basic color?

The First Style but fix your Div tag for the google ads on the right side it knocks your page off i would suggest moving the bigger IMG files someplace else on the forum theme.

Style 1 was definitely easier on the eyes- and that's a good logo.

Its much better now that you fixed your Div tags and made the page bigger to fix the images for your Sponsor list area.
