Bundled and Legacy Themes

Hi again,

now I tested to overwrite the default template-settings like described in http://doc.tikiwiki.org/tiki-index.php?page=Customizing+Themes&highlight=transition%20style%20sheet, by creating a new folder "default2" under templates/styles and copying the old templates of the 1.9.11 version in it and the old CSS file under /styles/. Certainly it's no good idea, because there are a lot of new functions/elements, and the result brought only a little difference in the initial posting - see attached file "Screenshot_Forum_Posts_Test.png".

In tiki-view_forum_thread.tpl there are lot of differences between the older and the new 2.1 version, e.g. respectively a table formatting in the old one, which doesn't exist any more in the new - if I understand it right, I'm really not familar with the smarty code.

So I am not able to implement the necessary changes, which have to be done wherever, to correct the style and make the postings look like on this site.

However, viewing it here, I'm a frustrated to see, that it's possible at all (assuming, this forum is running under the newest version 2.1 ?) .
