New Theme
I have set up a new theme for the forum, this will be replacing the other theme as the default for a few reasons:

1. It's less buggy. 
2. It's mobile-friendly
3. It's cleaner and easier to maintain. 

This will not be the default theme forever, but it's much cleaner and faster than the old theme was.

https://codeberg.org/SolusRaion -- Code repos I control

Technical problems should be sent my way.

RE: New Theme
Cool, I'm digging it so far.
My only note is that the Avatar icons now seem to be stretched vertically next to each post.

RE: New Theme
I like the new theme better by quite a bit. Dare I say... more phpBB-like? It's nice.

RE: New Theme
After using it more, I will also say that, for me at least on my Samsung S9+, it's not quite as mobile friendly as the old one was. Mainly because everything seems much bigger and I have to scroll around a lot more to see things, and there doesn't seem to be a way to make it all smaller unless I get it served as a desktop site (which actually works just fine)

RE: New Theme
The borderless wasteland syndrome is making me twitchy, but if it helps resolve some of the forum issues I can put up with it until a better theme comes along later.

RE: New Theme
Thank you for your feedback everybody I know that the new theme is not perfect it also doesn't resolve all of the issues that we have currently but it's the best I can do until I can spend more time on a bespoke solution

RE: New Theme
This theme is cool. It has the old school internet 2.0 early 00s forum style. Fits our retro Irix world better anyways.
