New style testing - theme 3.0 & theme 2.0

I'm going to be the first to say, I think, that I really like what you are trying to get to here. Just a guess but do you use Emacs? I've always used dark themes in that and this reminds me slightly of a very nice theme called nightcoding nightcoder, something like that, or maybe it was a fluxbox theme.

For me, the Post Quick Reply and Go Advanced buttons on the reply box seem to be faded around the text, ie it looks out of focus, but maybe this is just my dpi settings or something.

-- I assume you will be adding the updates of latest posts to the right of each forum heading on the front page but if not, they are not there.
-- The classifieds link at the top goes to the help and testing forum.
-- In most forums, some of the links to threads are grey but the 1,2,3... page links are still cyan.
-- In forum help and testing, many thread titles/links are greay but I have never read them
-- The links at the bottom of the front page with all forum areas:

          bike polo --> classifieds;
          general and general go nowhere
          travel ----> general, ...
          misc gives me a no permissions problem.

There are a few more

I'm supprised more people don't like the theme although minimal and white does always look good
