I'm currently giving it a try, so far me likes (until I release mine ;))

A couple things

- PHP tags style needs to be added
- Signature style needs to be added
- A divider for each post would help alot IMO

Thanks for all your replies Jcart. I'll be tweaking as much as I can tonight. Thanks again.

I noticed a couple of things:

- A minor annoyance, but the links "View posts since last visit," "View your posts," "View unanswered posts" are in a different order than in subSilver

- I find the centered text on the Search page to be hard to read.

I love it. Thanks for making it available! Just get the PHP tags and your set.

EDIT: Its actually perfect. I like it, and im going to use it for now on.

Things to Fix:
+Mark all threads read on view posts since last visit.
+Align all the topics to the left and not centered (on view posts since last visit)

Absolutely no worries. I'd rather people let me know so I can fix them, than just not like the theme. It's appreciated.

I'm actually fixing most (maybe all) the problems people have found and maybe the theme'll be updated tomorrow (Please Mr Site Admin 8) 8) )

Is anyone else wanting the topic separator that Jcart asked for? I don't find it necessary - but if everyone else does, I'll gladly throw one in.

so long as there's consistency with having the row highlight rollover and onclick event stuff, I have no need for a separator :) But that's just me.
