We've changed the layout of the forum main page and the overall layout of every form page. The recent topics section has been reformatted to be easier to read, include separators between each topic (stupid me for never doing that), additional separation between each forum and minor font adjustments.
Additionally, we have reverted back to the official CC logo colours of red and blue and cleaned up the header of each forum page to be smaller, more compact and include easier search options.

Andem¹, with due respect to the changes you have made (and with respect, of course, to your own tastes) I preferred the Recent Threads section with its previous formatting — the new, larger font size is somewhat obstructive and "cluttered", in my opinion.
In terms of your changes to the header, I am quite in favour of the idea of a more compact header — however, I think that perhaps it may need some tweaking (I am running a beta of Windows Internet Explorer 7, so perhaps my browser is misinterpreting the page); the right-hand-side of the header appears to be missing its logo, and there is a line of pixels of white space to the left of the private messages link.
Thank you for the revised search options.
Just my two humble cents.
Revision : (1) Corrected a formatting error.
Revision : (P.S.) Never mind, my concerns have been resolved.

Loving the new layout, Andem!
Hm, I am going to need to search for the hex codes to the reverted logo colours, though — I can't very well welcome new users to Canadian Content anymore when orange is in fact not even in the logo! :P
Revision : Hm... Canadian Content... yeah, that works!

Oh, wow! Very good point, Johnny Utah — didn't notice that.
...the powers that be don't think we should be stepping away from this place...

I am sorry but I'm inclined to agree. Its giving me a headache just trying to sort it all out. I thought it looked very good the way it was before.

I quite like the new Recent Threads format — my criticism of the format was in reference to some odd-looking large font sizes and broken table dimensions, but minutes after posting my concerns a new style was applied. I assume that the large-fonted thing I had seen was just something in the interim.

Oops, I did forget to mention that in order to view the new look correctly that you must refresh a couple of times so that Internet Explorer/Firefox/Opera downloaded the new style-sheet. If anyone else is seeing a larger than normal font, just hit refresh a couple of times and if worse comes to worst, clear your cache.
