A couple quick updates to the forum

[stumpy]

Okay, as mentioned in the announcements forum, the board was down for about an hour last night while a few things were taken care of. Keep an eye out for new oddness, though the changes should be pretty minor. Also, I have tried to restrict the formatting changes to those using the 5th RC2 theme, so that there is a way around anything disastrously wrong (or just annoying) by choosing a different theme in the Profile -> Look and Layout page.

Summary:

• The return of our familiar logo. 
  
• The archive forum is back, giving us access to a couple more years of FR's storied past and to some technical knowledge that may be of value even to those with less historical interest.
  
• In addition to the archive link at the top right of the page, there are a couple more. Freedom Reworn may go away as the store is a bit out of date, but for now it's at least a placeholder for another link that may be needed and perhaps it will inspire some new creativity.
  
• The 'dead' internal links to other FR threads in messages from before we moved the forums should be working now. (Ditto for current board links pointing to threads in the archive. And, ditto for internal archive links.)
  
• The post counts and topic counts for the forums should be correct now. They were causing some issues with the "Pages:" links at the bottoms of the forum indices. (Ditto for the archive board.)
  
• Etc.
  

Cheers! 

Of course, this is the first serious forum update I have done, so PM me or post to this thread with any trouble and I'll look into it.

Freedom Reworn might be of use in the near future.

It might not be stuff to be "reworn" per se... though might be some of that too.

There have been a couple of good ideas around lately about "coming attractions"

Thanks for the update! Having the archives is a huge blessing.

Thanks for the work – the return of the archive is indeed quite useful.

Thanks for doing this. I'm glad to see the logo and a better color scheme. :-)
