Is one of the changes the footer, with the 'Powered by phpBB, Hosted by Dreamhost' there, which are seen on the regular theme, but weren't present last year?

Not sure about the other.

Is one the copyright statement?

yes, the new footer design is the first one and the most obvious. the second is far more subtle, so I'll give a clue.

log yourself out and back in again.

Is it a new themed pop-up login prompt? I am sure last year it was just the generic theme on the pop-up during the christmas period.

It could be the all-new jQuery powered animated pop-up login box, yes.

No, not the pop-up box. That's been there ages. I am on about the design of it, as it is more festive now.

Oh yeah, you're right... Pete did say it wasn't visual so it might be something you'd have to root through the code for.

It says the page is operated by Dimblebot. It may not be exclusive to the Christmas theme, but it's a nice touch.

it's been operated by dimblebot in the source for a while, and you're still not correct. Think about something useless and annoying that may have disappeared.

Got it.

Chie wasn't banned last year.

I'm not useless.
