Themes have been introduced to the forum display options, courtesy of KidCastro. The new user themes change the colour scheme of the forums and extend the forum display to widescreen. If you don't like what you see, go to Navigation bar just below the top most forum banner, select Profile, Display, and you can change your theme in the drop down menu from there. For those that don't like change, the original theme is GreyOrange, and the widescreen version of this same colour scheme is Mercury. If you choose a theme with a light background, you may not be able to see the white user names in the Shoutbox posts. They do become visible if you drag your mouse across them and highlight. Unfortunately there's no easy way to change the user names display colour at this stage. Cheers.
