    I've upgraded the forum software to the latest version of FluxBB.

    As you've probably noticed, there's a new default theme. If you prefer the old one, you can change it by going to:
    Profile > Display > Style > Oxygen

    There is now a captcha in place for new user registration to prevent spam bots. New users also can't set a URL/signature. Hopefully this will help cut down on the spam.

    64 by 64 pixels is a very small avatar these days?! The ones I've used elsewhere have been at least 96 by 96 I think.

    64x64 is average, even quite large, IMO. For comparison, Facebook avatars are 50x50 and Twitter are 48x48 outside the profile page. Avatars that are too big add a lot of vertical space scrolling when there are short posts, specially if there's other info already. I'll see if there's a way to increase the size on the profile page and on hover while keeping it the same on the discussions.
