I like it a lot
About the colour theme, I was fan of the dark and Sega blue one ... I don't know what's needed to build a theme though.
Update : there's some strange things happening in the messenger, maybe related to the fact that the max number of messages is now 50 (it was a bit more before IIRC)
So the messages aren't sorted by date, and there's another addressee to each one of them ( (and 1 other) under every addressee) ... not sure how to fix that though

My bad on that. When I initially set up the boards I set up the cookie domain incorrectly, and later fixed it. You must have logged in previous to the fix.
For the PMs, I think that's honestly related to the imported data. If you send/receive new PMs, they're sorted correctly.
As for the theme, this is currently the default theme with our logo. I haven't worked on a custom theme yet -- personally, I liked the darker theme from way back too.

Well tonight I've been playing with the styles and decided to try some dark blue colours. The colours are really hard to pick with the RGB codes so if you want any of them adjusted then let me know. Here's what I used;

But I'm a bit annoyed about green links ... could you try :
Link: f5f5ff // light gray
Link hover: d9a91a // orange
Could you also change this :
We'll see if it's better
There's still some stuff to see (like the row colors), but we'll look after this later
Whle we're on the subject of styles, how do you think the wiki should look. Keep the light styles like white and grey or would it be better with a dark theme like the forums?

Ok guys, I've done a new skin for the forums (sx_revival), could you test it and tell me if you like it, or what should be done to improve it ? I will replace default IPBoard icons by Sega ones as soon as I understand how it works
Personally I think that we should be coherent between the two ... but the default style looks also nice.

yeah, the style looks good as it is but there will be a contrast between the Wiki and the Forums. Having a dark background however might make it more difficult to make things look good on screen. We're going to have things like screen shots and pictures with white backgrounds so not sure what would look best in that situation.
