Changes eh? No one likes them do they. Forum had been running very out of date software for a while now. I had put off upgrading because
(it's well scary, man) the last forum theme was not compatible. So for ages I had been messing about with a test site, trying different designs etc. The old theme wasn't very 'crisp' by current standards and didn't look all that great on mobile devices.
Feel free to be grumpy and moan etc but I reckon this is working pretty well now, might just need some minor tweaks along the way
