We've uploaded two forum styles for you to use.
If you wish to switch to something that 'looks' similar to the old forum: -
Visit the user control panel: -
https://www.betangel.com/forum/ucp.php?i=165
And select 'prosilver' in 'myboardstyle'
If you navigate indirectly to the user control panel you can select the alternative forums under the 'User control panel' / 'Board preferences' section.
The 'new' style is called 'Milk v2'

The prosilver style is very nice. I like the colors (even though I'm color blind, or maybe because
). I think what could improve it even more is having the 'quick links' directly on the page. 'Active topics' is my most clicked link on this forum. For others I hear it is 'New posts'. No idea if this is something you can tweak, but it would certainly make a difference.

yeah, those items being exposed at the top level just makes everything so much more ergonomic. i did actually have another suggestion which i mentioned in another thread on this topic:
this would just make everything supertight and remove any duplicationjimibt wrote: ↑Wed Feb 15, 2017 2:53 pmcould i humbly request a small edit to the prosilver template which would both tackle duplication and save further space.
the link that says < Go to advanced search is superfluous as the little gear icon (highlighted in yellow) on the search box does the same thing. this would then reduce the header size by a further 30%. simply deleting the <p class="advanced-search-link">...</p> element would sort this out.

strange... here's what i'm seeing on chrome v55.0.2883.87
as mentioned above, removing (vie inspect) the <p class="advanced-search-link">...</p> element solves the issue without compromising the search bar functionality
[edit] - I think this anomaly will only be visible when you have navigated to New Posts or Active Topics
this is the actual html, which sits right below the <h2> element:

btw, i added a late edit to this post that explains where the link anomaly can be found:
I've since gone thro the structure and determined that it affects any items that are referenced by the Quick Links menu also (potentially all point to the same template block [not sure how phpBB is structured])...... I think this anomaly will only be visible when you have navigated to New Posts or Active Topics
