I'm talking about the color scheme, the main navigation, the aesthetics, if it's pleasing to the eye to look at for a long time, etc.
Personally I'm never bothered so much by the user interface as long as the site content is presented in a nice and simple way that is readable by everyone. So far I think you are doing fine in the implementation of the user interface.
My biggest worry is always in the speed and performance of the site; for example make a comparison between yahoo and gmail.
1. Yahoo wins by far when it comes to user interface implementation
2. Gmail wins by far when it comes to speed and performance
Personally I think daniweb is doing well in both speed and user interface. My only suggestion is that you do away with the ads for registered users.

They're there for a reason, without them there wouldn't be any funding for the site.

Yep. If you donate or are staff, they go away. If you have a free account, then you will have the ads. Thats the only way it can be. If we didnt have ads we would have to become a pay-site like experts exchange, and nobody wants that.

Never liked experts exchange, so you're right there. Heh, if you remove the dash from their site, and split it up yourself..
experts-exchange -> expert-sex-change. Gosh I'm immature.

That would also happen if you are using browser zoom.
