There was a classic template with Phorum 5.2. However, the old modified template in use by MR would not have worked. Looks like they chose to modify the newer modern template with 5.2 (named Emerald) instead of modifying the older style classic template. I can't say I blame them. There is a reason I made the Emerald template. Its HTML structure is much better and easier to customize and work with.
If you want to get an idea how the base Phorum template looks, you can visit our demo forum at http://www.phorum.org/demo/. For example, apparently, Safari is in fact ignoring the font size for the textarea where you post new topics and replies. I define it as "font-size:medium;" which IE and Firefox both as the standard size for the page, 13px. But, Safari is not rendering it that size. It is coming out as 11px in Safari. Safari in general is a bear to work with for form elements. Apple attempts to make HTML forms appear like native Apple dialogs. But, with 80% of the internet not using Safari, designers don't design for that.
