New Visual Style for the Forum!

Not my fault buddy.
There is nothing big to complain about any more as you have done such a stellar job, so now it's gonna be minor things only

That sounds good to me! Appreciate all the feedback (and thanks for that link to the palette colors, that's actually what I used for v3!)

It's crisp, I quite like v3 as it is now.

Hey brother, v3 is probably going to be the last revision on this style other than fixing up some smaller, minor things that have been suggested. I will work on a second style that is more toned per some of the requests, but that's going to be a project for another week. The majority of the feedback on this last one has been extremely positive so we're going to call it for now; but when I start on the next style (the toned down one) definitely give some input!

Gotta say, I am (about 95%) loving this V3.
Looks crisp, clean and modern.

As far as I can see, the only things that still need sorted out are:

• Up/down buttons can't be seen.
• The 'buttons' in the text box for replying (bold/italics/underline etc) may need a 1px dark grey border in order to make them stand out a bit more
• The avatars need to be positioned 'center' rather than their current position as they are not aligned correctly with the circular border - probably just a lack of position, so they default to ' top left '
• the 20 pixel margins around the main content leave too large a white frame around the forums (looks more noticeable on smaller devices like tablets/phones where it uses a higher percentage of screen real estate)
• The 'search' bar goes into a weird position on tablet-sized screens and is stuck behind the lower menu (just make your browser window smaller to see what I mean)- it could also do with a border and either a search icon or the 'search' text darkened to make it more noticeable.

These are all purely cosmetic changes and could all be done in 5 minutes.

Apart from this, I am gonna send some to @Son of Hobbes for a stellar job
