forum relaunch

[helplessone]

I will never and never and never understand why all the tech-world loves relaunches.
everything fine? - make a relaunch!
everything runs smooth? - oh, lets do a relaunch!
everything has a good look? - ehi, why not trying a relaunch?

it is as it is..

I have 2 questions and I need help:
1) as forum design I choosed default. but always when I turn back and log in, I have this awful little-child-blue-rosa-design. how to maintain always my choosen default-design?
2) on the awful design there are 2 buttons to show new posts. but where they are on the default-design? there is no new-posts-link.

thx.

Agree, this hurts my eyes and looks "cheap".

also ''thanks'' are shown on the side of posts, not below, is it for everyone or just me?

"Thanks" button on the left side, need to be fixed.

If it aint broke...

badly readable, too bright (white background), strange narrow font for me, thanks button???

I hate updating anything to do with computers. I also live by the "If it aint broke..." idea.

But sooner or later, software gets outdated, insecure, etc... and the only way to fix things is with an update.

re the initial post, I was able to set the default skin to stay in my "General Settings", seems to work for me.

The vB4 Default style looks like it needs some fixing in spots, and that will be looked into.

That is to keep everybody dry if there is a flood - global warming, etc

============================

The screen doesn’t resize when I use the Geekstoy style.

==> to set the style in your account just go to
==> "settings -> General Settings -> Forum Skin" then set your style

Oh my word, whatever has happened to the forum? Apart from the colours which apparently have to be resolved by the individual, the mark all forums read no longer appears to work, the threads no longer appear to go to the first unread message, it's no longer clear which threads have new messages, there are little orange boxes which bring up gibberish, green circles with white ticks which have no function and heaven know what else. I hope that these are "bugs" and able to be resolved as I get a great deal of pleasure and information from postings, but at the moment, for me, the forum is practically unusable,

cheers, MC

Sorry Team but I think the maxim "if it ain't broke don't try and fix it" needs to be applied...........not impressed and slightly off putting presentation tbh. Sorry!

The colours need to be stronger as it looks like the pages have been soaked in bleach and everything, including the text, looks too pale. Apart from that it is fine. It's different and people have to get used to it. Unless they are very, very old

2) on the awful design there are 2 buttons to show new posts. but where they are on the default-design? there is no new-posts-link.

==> Today's post is located at "FORUM -> QUICK LINKS -> TODAY'S POST"
==> New Posts is located at "FORUM -> New Posts"

I keep moving my cursor back and forth over the knowledge and support icons to make the drop down menus go up and down on their own - kinda like being at a disco!

Much happier with default theme....I am hoping the new colour scheme isnt carried over to NG?!
