I've tweaked all the settings available otherwise. There aren't many.

Server transfer. Sorry I couldn't get in before.
EDIT: Note, chat is on a completely different server than anything else. Theoretically, it just got the first of two major upgrades. Dunno when the second will happen.
Updated the link - sorry about that, forgot I had even made it.
I can't make head or tale of the chat bug. I know there is limited capability with the highlight to match previous names - and an automatically generated anonymous id. Unfortunately, development of the chat software seems to have...
Recent changes are more visible on forms & smaller screens. (look at those sidebars drop past the content. woo)
Colors are up for adjustment now - but I should note, Recant's backgorund yellow is currently the same as the original theme. Whatever it changes to, it will not be a pure white...

Georgia,"Times New Roman",Times,serif
... while the font list for the main site is
Arial,sans-serif
I could convert the forum to all sans-serif fonts, but that seems a little extreme...

Found the server had also stalled security updates. Among other things.
Since there have been complaints with openfire as a chat server, I've tried configuring ejabberd - more options, less hacky, not as easy to configure. I'll expect some complaints, but it's enough to chat for now.
