XenForo 2 utilizes Google's Material Design spec, so the latest trends in UI design. If you are a bigger fan of the older look and feel, might I suggest simply using UI.X Classic instead? https://xenforo.com/community/resources/ui-x-classic.6826/
Thanks for not getting offended and thanks for that link. I'll use it. Its extremely unfortunate when forward progress in overall tech results in a loss of features simply due to the new restrictions imposed.
I have 70,000 screaming forum members that are not going to be happy about this. They don't care about the tech. They care about the visual appeal, features/convenience, and usability. As they should. Maybe one day coders will develop things with end users in mind
But to call the second screen cap above "a more modern look" (as many have) is (no offense) completely laughable. Its 100% 1st generation internet design. I was running the same forum in 1997-2000 so I know firsthand.
