I've been using the same style for the last...oh...4 years? heh
I need some advice on how to enhance it, if there is a way

It's dark, which alot of my users like
I DO prefer the darker styles, but i'm looking for any tips to make it more appealing.

Your style looks fine actually.
You have an out of place table row at the top labelled 'What's Going On?' though.
I'm looking at the default style: http://www.uoforums.com/?styleid=110

Ah yea, I moved the who's online bit to the top of the forum, but it doesn't show to guests (mod from Vb.org)
Thanks for the reply though, I wasn't sure wether there were any specific things I could do to the layout/colour scheme to make it more attractive.

Just depends on how you want to enhance.
To enhance visually you might try borders in a contrast color like dark red or black. Maybe even gold. Make table backgrounds of old parchment or metal armor? Using UO's default colors. Use the UO icon as the link icon instead of VB's default one.
Less visually just a little change would be doing a subtle color change in the table background or page background. Maybe even an body background change. This would be if you really like you skins and wanted just something a little different.
Go BAJA!

Indeed, looks fine to me-I get that feeling sometimes though-Just because you have had it for so long it becomes a little boring for you, but remember that wont necesarily be the same for all of your users

I agree, I just tire of seeing the same style
I was tempted a while ago to get a custom style done, but after Vbcore tried to scam me, I was put off handing over $800-$1000, hehe
