... I have installed ProSilver SE and Revolution for you guys to test out. ...
Tried them all available fancy styles, gladly stick with the current default
"AllanStyle-SUBSILVER", thanks for asking...
(As suggested earlier by Midas, the "online user ribbon" might perhaps look better relocated back on the left-hand side ?)

Well, I tried the new options, too. Revolution is truncating the TPFC forum logo and we sure can't have that...
OTOH, ProSilver Special Edition is looking fine thank you -- although it takes some getting used to those ominous dark gray box headers. Light blue is so much more convivial.
For me, the best thing about these styles is how they narrow the page width, enhancing readibility.

Still happening for you? I switched to using
this extension in preparation for supporting multiple board styles. Apparently, I think the logo is dynamically updated using Javascript. It's working for me on both Firefox and Chrome.
Ah, that was it. I use a script manager addon and the forum's Javascript wasn't enabled. All good now, though using Javascript for a static logo seems a little overkill

.
As for the user 'online' strip it's actually an image. So either a CSS rotation transform or replacement image could be used to bring it over to the other side. I'll look at it tomorrow perhaps.

@
Andrew Lee:
Something go wrong and now "smileys" are shown instead of some characters in the entries (and possible in the comments?)
For example, see
MobaXterm entry:
That break all functionality, please fix it ASAP
Completely turn off "smileys" in the main site

Also as we can see, there is no such "smiley" (
:\) in the forum's "Full Editor & Preview" form:

- Ss_2018-01-07_21-11-03.png (3.55 KiB) Viewed 19425 times
So there are different "smileys" in the forum and in the main site
Now I think that migration to the new engine was not so good idea

No
There now spaces, spaces everywhere, in every entry, in additional fields such as
Dependencies:,
License:,
How to extract:,
Similar/alternative apps: etc
Even worser then with those damn smilies
Something is broken with the main site

I think JUSTIFY is set as the alignment for those fields in CSS.

Sometimes (not always, randomly), when you login from the site, you redirected to this error page:
You actually logined successfully, just didn't redirected to the previous page, but to this error page

Confirmed, the certificate shows as expired this morning. Edge gives me the option to proceed to the site anyway, but Firefox doesn't.
Also confirmed, search isn't working. And in general the site is loading slower than I would expect.

The cert renewal process with Let's Encrypt was botched, so that has been fixed now.
Serarch is also working fine as far as I can tell. Anyone else hitting problems?

If it's random, it'll be hard to diagnose until we have more info. I just tried with Firefox and Chrome. Steps I took:
1. Logout from TPFC
2. Pop into any random database entry page.
3. Click "Login" from top of page.
4. After login, I'm redirected back the same database entry page in (2)
If you guys hit this problem again, try to note the exact sequence of steps you took and post them here.
