Do I hear anyone volunteer to create a skin???

I'll volunteer but only once I've done my own - so you all are better off with somebody else doing it - I'll need a few years

Does the new forum software offer options to control signature field sizes etc? I see that it resizes pictures, but it's not necessary for it to offer an option to view full size sig pics IMO.
Also a slight restriction on signature font size might also be a nice idea.. long sig fields detract from thread readability (again, just my opinion).

there are in fact so many options and add-ons to this software it's overwhelming. The only downside on the classic view, in my opinion, is that this particular theme doesn't brake the individual posts clearly.

PS: @banpei and volunteers: A proposal from my side, pending banpei sends me the current theme (and maybe the picture set from the old one too) and thinks it's a valid idea.
I can create an empty copy/lookalike of the forum on my server.
I could then add special accounts for volunteers to mess around with the theme and code without interfering normal forum service here.
Once we reach a worthy and stable version, banpei could implement it here.
This is not an offer to go havoc on my server but to allow a controlled team effort for those with some experience in the field (including an artist who's skilled in Photoshop/Fireworks or the like).
