I heard that colour scheme is actually the original, and was hidden underneath the new signage the whole time. If you remove another layer of paint, a keen eye should be able to see the outline of a faded Presto's logo.

Just noticed the lick of paint at Metropol, very nice!

btw in case you're wondering what happened last time...
I'd tried running the updater from 3.2.2 to 3.2.3 several times and it never quite worked. So, having a free weekend, I tried again. This time I went for the full package install rather than the updated files version. However given I'd already tried six times that day, my fat fingers managed to click the wrong button on the FTP client and I deleted the entire theme directory and all the language changes. Oops.
Not to worry, thunked I, I'll just bring back the latest backup from the host. Turned out that was 12 hours old, ideal. But it kept error 500ing :'(
Anyhow after scouring the logs, it turns out that Dreamhost's backup system doesn't backup folders called cache. Fair enough. However phpBB has two folders called cache.
1 - is the cache
2 - is the thing that makes the cache actually work.
BC the second folder was empty, it couldn't load the site until I uploaded the files for that specific folder. Then back to life it came, finally running version 3.2.3
Hope you enjoyed this story.
Anyhow version 3.2.4 came out on Friday... 💥

Anyhow I've also made some tweaks that should make the site a teeny bit quicker. Do let me know if you see any effect.
Yes, the forum pages are a lot faster than before.

Didn't there used to be an HTTPS redirect set up? It doesn't take me there by default (though the many other redirects are working).

I note that Metropol is back in burgundy and with a Yuletide theme (is that from a previous year or just a nod to it?).
EDIT: Going by the image name, 2010?
