And so, after about 5 months of development since the Beta Release we can now present to the world an (almost) bug free and feature filled version of the original LMB theme.
A big thank you to everyone who contributed to this project:
These are all awesome people so make sure you give them all a very loud applause.
So what's new? What makes this theme better than the Beta one? Well...
-Quick Reply! You guys can now make super-fast replies to any topic without even having to open up a new page! Just type your message and submit. Awesome!
-Easy Side Scroller! Although the LMB's never had this, it is nevertheless an excellent addition to the site. At the bottom of the page and can't be bothered to scroll for all eternity to get to the top? No problem, just tap the up button and it will automatically take to the top in style.
-Thread Previews! Now, when you hover over a thread inside a board, a short snippet of the first post will be displayed!
-Badges All the badges you guys have won from the EBAs and being interviewed can now be found on your profile!
-Bugs & Extra Features No release would be complete without bug fixes... These fixes include, checkbox functionality on thread lists, thread buttons now have the correct font, Bartop elements now change colour based on what board you're on, posting page buttons now have 'pressed' versions, emotes now have multiple shortcuts if you're still used to the LMB shortcuts, a reply button and pagination have been added to the bottom of threads-no need to scroll to the top to make a post, image upload now works, message listing button added to the top of threads, and with more things to come in following updates!
Remember, if you find a bug or something that doesn't look right, please report in this thread. To learn how to make a bug report, please refer to this topic here.
IMPORTANT!
Along with this announcement comes several large changes to the forum which can be read about here.
And with all that out of the way, me, the designers, and the rest of the staff team wish you happy posting and enjoy the theme!
This is absolutely wonderfulifluous. I forgot how much I missed the LMBs until now *cries*
Although something that has always bugged me is that in the list for how many characters a post has, the "[number] characters" part overflows from where it's supposed to be. For some reason I thought that would be fixed with this theme, but I guess not.

Wdym overflows? Can you elaborate a bit?
Actually, to my great delight, I have discovered that it was fixed (mostly) in the new LMB theme, so yay! In all the other themes, though, since the character limit was implemented, it has looked like this:
Which, to someone like me who probably has OCD, does not settle well.
However, even in the new theme the "Quick Reply" box still has the problem, as seen here:
So, now that I'm on the topic of complaining, I also would like to mention that when I type enough that the thing starts automatically scrolling (which happens quite early when quoting someone) the scrollbar doesn't automatically go all the way down (although it goes halfway down), so it looks like this:
Honestly, though, I don't care that much about any of these, because I'm just happy we have the theme. I just thought you might want to be able to improve it a bit.
