This time it's mostly UI changes I really wanted to make, and some things people have asked for.

All toolbar toggles and dropdowns are now these nicer looking dropdowns. They look a lot more consistently sized, everything has a label I also added "Moderator View" into that new dropdown.

The search page looks way nicer now, here's the before:

Is there a way for people hosting Alexandrite to pre-set a different color theme default?

Not yet but I'll add that eventually.

Small suggestion: maybe have a threshold for when it switches back to absolute dates? Like, if the post is older than 24hrs it goes back to absolute. Thanks for the update!
