I miss the "new" icon that would appear next to sections with new content.  Now it's just on child subforums.

Does SMF support user selectable themes?

I've seen a few forum packages that have several themes available under the user configuration. usually a light theme and a dark theme at a minimum.

the list of forums sections just under the header is also breaking XHTML compliance. That can be easily re-written more modern techniques.

I've gotten used to it, but yes.... this^^

I think it might be because the font suddenly got smaller.  But then again, it was pretty huge before.

Heh, what I changed it to is what it was for years... :)  However, if you liked the previous orangey theme, you can choose "curve" and that's what it'll be.

Well, I find the current default theme too 90iesish for my taste and the default SMF theme isn't perfect either. I'm picky, I know. So being a great guy that I am ;D I went to SMF themes site and found this modern and clean theme:
http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?lemma=2631

Is there any chance of adding this theme to the selectable themes list?

Will take a look :) I need to minimize the # of themes because each one requires maintenance whenever we do updates/mods, aren't always compatible with updates/mods, etc... However, testing it on the test site now.

What's missing function wise? Anyway, I knew this theme wasn't everyone's cup of tea, so I left the Curve (default SMF) theme available and also added the back n black theme.
