We know you have an opinion on how things should be run around here. These are suggestions for the forums, and the website.This forum is not a place to ask for suggestions to your own coding (or otherwise) problems.
Ever thought about adding themes to this board so that we can customize the colors? They are easy to install but I don't know if there are any decent ones out there or not.
We could use any widely available phpBB theme. The only complication is the fact that every theme should be altered to support our custom mods before it could be used on these forums. Otherwise some things will appear broken or do not appear at all.
