I aim to be giving the site its spring clean in the next week 

Do you want a template change? This won't be layout, just the general theme such as the fonts, size and thickness of bars (such as the "post reply one above)
There are lots to choose from, such as the Christmas one we had from a while, and I can even make my own or edit the forum code for this one (change the colours etc).

Would you like a template change to keep things fresh? Or are you happy to leave it as it is
