I can't say I was happy with the amount of on-screen space being used, so here is what I did about it.
I tried my own redesign of the header for myself, using
GreaseMonkey for Firefox.
Here is the end result (I am sorry for manipulating your logo btw AppleXY, msg me if you want me to remove):

Here is the GreaseMonkey script:
// ==UserScript==
// @name FSN Forum
// @description Redesigns the header a bit
// @include *VCEforum*
// ==/UserScript==
function removeNode(x) {
x.parentNode.removeChild(x);
}
var tds = document.getElementsByTagName("td");
for(var i = 0; i < tds.length; i++) {
var tdE = tds[i];
if(tdE.className == "titlebg2")
removeNode(tdE.parentNode);
}
var tables = document.getElementsByTagName("table");
document.getElementsByTagName("span")[1].parentNode.style.background = "#ffffff url(http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/220/testxi7.png) no-repeat scroll center right";
tables[1].parentNode.className = null;
tables[1].width = "52%";
tables[4].width = "50%";
removeNode(tables[0]);
//removeNode(tables[5]);
removeNode(document.getElementById("cntdwn"));
When installing it (Includes = *VCEForum*), just "New User Script", edit the fields, press OK, then just paste my script after pressing the "Edit" button.
Again I only did this for myself, so no guarantees/support.
Edit: I've readded News, as I suppose it is real content, so it's not exactly as screenshot, has the news box too.
p.s uploadgeek.com is a piece of shit
