Hello Community!  I'm happy to announce that the new LMB Beta Theme is now live!!  ![[~]](http://storage.proboards.com/6672327/images/ozFsbNeZhKNyVxseYHGI.png) ![[ba]](http://storage.proboards.com/6672327/images/uIdovocWRLyFpSJXOPwq.png)
Many thanks to our designers and staff members who have all helped create this incredible theme, many may not be here but their effort is nevertheless remembered. Full credits will be listed below.
To see the theme you must enter your settings and enable the 'LMB Beta Theme'.
It is important to note that the theme is not yet complete. There are still bugs that need to fixed and features that need to be added, so we would like to draw your attention to the Report Bugs topic to take a quick read of the information and instructions found there.
This topic is specifically for questions/celebration related to the theme, and the Bug Reports topic is for bug reports only.
There are still a few things that need to be done including:
- Completion of Badges
- Completing Help Page
- Checkboxes for threads
- Pagination On The Bottom Of Pages which require them
- Plus whatever bugs you guys find
- Quick Reply
Once these features have been added, and the bugs fixed, we will then make this the default theme, so that anyone not logged in will see it as well. We hope this process will be between 3-4 weeks, but this isn't a guarantee if there are more bugs found than expected.
When the theme is released, all support of the existing themes will most likely be discontinued, and special/seasonal themes will be made on the LMB Theme.
If you've only read the first sentence, couldn't hold your excitement, and have already enabled the theme before continuing, you may have noticed a couple of different things that look slightly more permanent. There are a few more buttons here and there and one or two extra goodies to enjoy. As further development of the theme continues you may experience more of these things as we wish to base the theme on the community's past experience with the LEGO Message Boards to give us an overall better experience with the site. Some of these things include extra nav buttons, better user settings, and more.
It is here that we're going to list a couple of the more major features that are unique to this theme and why you should switch. 
So here we go:
- The browse forums button
- The new search bar and options
- A likes leaderboard sidebar (Home)
- A post leaderboard sidebar (Boards)
- A better posting page
And those are just a few! There are many more. Go check them out!
One thing to note, when liking a user's post, the like count will not change until you have refreshed the page. This is an issue we hope to resolve before we release the theme fully.
Thank you to our wonderful staff members:

Thank you everyone for waiting this long (we know 3 years is a long time), and from all of us at the brand spanking new mod tower:
Enjoy!

The new theme is awesome and it feels like the LMBs again. I might try to be a bit more active now. (LOL I say that all the time)  |

Oh wow! It looks great! It'll take some getting used to, but it's really cool!
This is also the first time I've changed the theme since April Fool's. xD

To everyone involved in the creation of the new theme: thank you. You've brought back something that, once upon a time, meant everything to me. Nothing will ever really be the same, but this is the absolute closest anything will ever get. Thank you. ![[heart]](http://storage.proboards.com/6672327/images/SynFAxjClulYuSIRbDRN.png) |
