Themes
Any reason why Oxygen is the only one? My favorite theme is Lithium. Are themes going to be added at some point?

Re: Themes
Assuming you mean forum themes...
I think that the Scratch Team decides the theme. I’m not sure if there is any programming you could do that would allow people to choose different themes.
How do you even know what the themes are called?

All PunBB forums come with a default theme known as "Oxygen", which these forums definitely use.
Anyway, yeah... I think all forum hosts have a feature that allows you to choose from a list of themes. I wonder why the Scratch Team disabled it?
I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.

Re: Themes
Well, I wish that I could have Lithium as my theme.

Fluxbb comes with templates. Scratch team preferred the Oxygen one. To add an option to change themes would mean Scratch team would have to design new CSS templates, and that would be way to hard, as they already have a big job developing the software and website for 2.0! So I think this is a no, sorry

Actually, scratch team use Fluxbb, not Punbb. Therefore they can not just add all teh features you would like. Fluxbb hasn't got half the features PunBB has, that's why we can't have forum messaging, and lots of the other good features we wish to have.
