Sorted.
Although, noodles, I don't understand your comment regarding menus.

Re: Forum Upgrade and Theme
So hopefully you've noticed that I'm trying to work on things bit by bit hoping to fix things. I think I fixed the full posting view for both normal posting and private message posting. Let me know if you see any other place where posting breaks the layout.
Also, here's a question to IE users. I am a Firefox user and I do recall that IE did not display the them always in the best way but it looked decent. I can't remember how it looked, though. Is IE rendering the forums the way it always has or are there serious spacing issues with the theme that wasn't present before?

Re: Forum Upgrade and Theme
So, for those of you who were about at around 11-12ish BST, you'd've been redirected to a holding page telling you that we're upgrading the forums.
Unlike last time, this was just a basic security patch. It was completed with success.
Regarding the recent bought of spam, after the last upgrade, the anti-spam mods that we were using didn't get upgraded alongside the forum software. Therefore we were without an anti-spam mechanism, by upgrading to the latest version, this should help reduce our spam bots. In addition to this, I've also installed an anti-spam mod, different to last time, that should help us combat this as well.
If anyone spots anything odd, please let us know.
Regarding the mobile theme, this is still something that I'm trying to figure out. The issue with the latest version of phpBB, is that all of their standard themes are now responsive and we've just used our old theme in here and forced it to work. HTML5 and responsive web design is something I know only a small amount about, and I do know that converting this theme would be a massive pain.
So yeah, I'm trying to figure something out as I tend to use my mobile to browse the forums and feel your pain.

Re: Forum Upgrade and Theme
Another forum patch was done today between 1500-1540 BST. Seems like everything is working fine. If you spot anything odd, please let me know.

Oh yes. I think Archaic puts the forums on lock temporarily every time he does an update - which is always highly advised.
