Opinions on "Headline" theme?

http://www.jpr62.com/demos/ (select "Headline" from the pulldown at the top to view it).

Colours are a bit more in line with the wiki and we can customise it like we did with the old one (cartons of oil depending on read/unread status etc).

OK, you can choose for yourself now  8)

Click "Profile" in the menu above (not any dropdowns), then hover over "Modify profile" to pop up menu containing "Look and layout" you can change the theme to Headline, which I've modified with all the old oil images and logo.

From what I can tell the only downside of this theme is having the newsletter ticker missing.

I see there is a "Today's posts" mod for the forum too, but that might be making it a bit too much vegoildiesel ;)

If it gets much busier, a today's posts would be a useful facility, never mind that it's available on the VOD.
