I was happy with the previous forum theme but it was extremely slow loading the homepage header, so I decided to install a new theme all together. If you prefer a dark background with light text you can change the theme to the dark version in the sidebar on the right. You can also set a cover photo for your profile now.
I disabled the portal, the recent posts etc. can be found in the sidebar now. I also cleaned up the forum categories a bit. I didn't delete anything but I have moved a bunch of categories into other categories. If there's something you can't find, please let me know. I think it's less of a mess like this.
I also installed new smileys. I'm sorry but the old ones were annoying me so bad!
