Can the dp forums possibly get a new theme? Maybe something like this. http://www.linkative.com/forum/index.php Since it is kind of a web design related forum, I think its own design should reflect that.
Well some people suggest it in past but it all depends on owner Shawn who is offline for few months so I guess it have less chance to have new theme on DP.
I should think his inbox will be packed after that amount of time, so a few days after he gets back, I will send him a private message.
Its been suggested before and doubt the theme will change anytime soon or ever. If you want to change the look though just click here.
