The "+Baseline" theme was fine until that old table structure striked again.

Pretty much. if you pick one that doesn't have views included and a default.master.tpl base rather than a default.master.php and just css. that is about as barebones as you get. * out of curiousity, which themes did you download from the add-ons section and try that you liked. * out of curiousity, which themes did you download from the add-ons section and try, and didn't work for you.

@yusf, using the table layout in 2.1+ uses tables for layout. This is to appease those that like tabled forums. Every theme that doesn't override the discussions view will use tables if the table layout is selected. If you use the modern layout, pretty much no theme will use them. The real question is: What version number of Vanilla are you running?

2.1b2+ has different layout methods for discussions and categories. In the core theme, the table layout methods utilize tables for layout. The modern methods do not. This choice was introduced in 2.1+. Considering it is a choice, and modern layout is the default, I don't see this changing anytime soon. You are still free to override the table layout with table-less markup if you see a need. I personally find the table layout look as archaic. I can't think of any theme right now (my experience in themes is limited) that overrides the core table layout markup with table-less markup.

Please upgrade here. These earlier versions are no longer being updated and have security issues.

What is a good base theme for development that is also table-less?
