Everything with the database has a number of issues to consider because anyone can modify it. For example, if I make it so there can be multiple themes, I probably have to limit the number that can be added, which means that I have to decide either to overwrite an existing theme when a the limit is reached or ignore new themes. I also have to create some way of choosing a theme. I have to decide if it should ask when they add the forum to choose a theme, or make it a later option.
The VW Vortex theme that someone had created online, I was able to overwrite it with my theme, but their theme had disappeared

One of the forums you mentioned not working a while back started working again when I re-added it in FB. Updating the database allows that fix to be passed on.

I was thinking of making it so that you could use Google Images, but only for your locally viewable logo.

I could make it optional, but then I'd have to save another piece of data for the forum. And for the database. And if there are multiple themes, I need to have the option for each theme. Perhaps I could have a faded border. But then you'd have to set a separate color for that, and that wouldn't help with logos that have background gradients, which fading the actual logo would. Hmm...

Thanks for the logs. Both problems were actually in Forum Browser. Should now be fixed in the above update.
