I added a few lines to make it look extra-retro.

ul.thread { background: #e0e0e0; }
#content ul { border-top: 1px solid #AAA; }
#content ul.reply { border-top: none; }
#content li { border-top: 1px solid #EEE; }

This will tide me over until I'm ready for some change :)

Nice! How does the current thread highlight look though? The bg color for that is EEE, and might clash with the darker thread background now

Thanks! (reply)

I'll have to steal/borrow some little stuff (and invite you to do the same). Also, you've just helped me to decide how far I should go in the retro look - since you've got the modern look covered, I can go close to all out. ;-)

Though I have to admit, I'm too selfish and vein to not miss a bit being the only game in town. But I'll take this as a teachable moment. And to paraphrase the Talmud, "the jealousy of stylists increases usability". :-)

Hopefully Levi will add this to his sticky post. Nice work!

As Arithmomaniac did, I've set up a user stylesheet on userstyles.org with the customizations I made to the forum, initially for my own use. So you can use it as well, if you wish :) I didn't really want to change the feel of the site, that's Wu's baby; just a little bit of personal usability preference ;)
The thumbnail below shows all the adjustments.
