Oh wow! That is genuinely awesome. You’ve done such a good job of this. I couldn’t of imagined it like this.

The forums aren’t consistent with the site because I decided that I wanted them to not be tied to the glacial progress of the main site, nor tied to the design decisions that were specifically made around my content, rather than a forum setting. That is, I wanted to ensure one design didn’t lead me to making poor decisions on another design. Also, that I wanted to get the forums up and running early as possible rather than waiting for camendesign.4.

Thanks for sharing this Jose, it’s a great bit of work! Personally, I would have put the replies outside of the <section> (on the orange background), and then the reply form back in a section. My main site’s CSS lets me switch back and forth between writing on the orange background, and on the paper sections, but this would require altering the HTML, which you couldn’t do with CSS alone. You can modify the HTML by downloading the source code and making a new theme folder, but I don’t yet have any way for readers to change themes (and nor am I sure how I’d even go about implementing this, given the design restrictions on these forums).
