Just blew $150 on a 'premium' forum theme that broke my whole site

Everyone said to buy this specific theme for better engagement, so I paid for it and installed it on my discussion board. It completely messed up the user logins and I lost a week of posts from my regulars trying to fix it. Has anyone found a good, simple theme that actually works for a busy community?

Saw a thread praising the basic "Vanilla" theme.

It's just a color scheme...

Check your contrast ratios with a free tool online, because that default light gray text on white can be a real headache for some people to read. I mean, it looks clean but it's not always usable. I always bump up the text darkness a notch or two, makes a huge difference.
