Nice and responsive.
How much performance do pictures instead of monochrome backgrounds eat? Got a littlebit used to it ^^
Though the signatiure Ghar green is pretty hard to match, grey should be one of the least favorable color- fits making it a look older than necessary.
It works on the Ghar Station since there are alot of game screenshots with ''Natural colors'' - mostly brown-bronze tones.
Maybe keep that theme up, the Ghar green is better suited for a highlight than a main color.
Also not too fond of the overall green tint like ''white text'' and textfields.
Tldr: Defenitely needs warm dominant colors.
Ghar's use of the green vs ''real images''

3 Cheap examples. Random ''Ambient backdrops'' would already do alot.

Needs an addons section. There's a few addons on the Rift Forum archive that aren't downloadable since they don't archive attachments.

Good suggestion regarding the green vs "real images". I will explore that. I am definitely new when it comes to theme/color development on a forum setting.
As for opening in a new tab, looks like I need an extension to enable that for phpbb. Looking into it.

Aye original Forums had this background that would ''frame'' the main part left & right and then go rather dark, with the really important bits then having signature colours. Ghar forums is closer to the older SL type of Rift forum atm where everything was ''a littlebit too blue'' :D

Not sure how helpful this is but the colouring feels off, I do agree with Shas, maybe a background picture on the edges would help, something like the Draumheim sky projector with the yellows and blues might complement the teal since right now everything is kind of a sea of grey, and I don't think teal and grey mix very well.

Thanks for getting this up and running.
Timezones don't seem to be configured properly atm, it's currently 16:17 here (UTC+11), I registered 20 min ago and it's showing that time as 03:57.
Likewise, if I open this thread in a private browser, the post above says 02:20 in UTC, but 01:20 when logged in (if the 02:20 UTC is accurate, that would be 13:20 UTC+11).
