Re: what happened to the forums, :O

It would appear that the components making up "AcidTech Tiger2" were modified significantly...

Re: what happened to the forums, :O

I don't like the Skins that are there. I want my DEFAULT Skin BACK.....
I don't see the point to change the Default SKIN just to gave us some headache and make us, change the skin.
If someone want a different skin that Default style, he'll be looking for one that it fit's his imagination.

Also, if a Banner it's made, make it about SGW not about cars/anime/different Games/etc.. it's SGW Forum, not some cXap forums.

Re: what happened to the forums, :O

Unfortunately its not that easy to fix... The default skin setting wasnt changed... The contents/makeup of the default skin was changed...

For those that want a skin similar to the default skin of yesterday, we can suggest using one of the other "acidTech" skins... "AcidTech red" is almost identical to the old "tiger2", but has a bit yellow to it... "AcidTech purple" is almost identical except that where the old default skin was red, this one is purple... similar can be said of "acidTech green"...

However, neither of these skins have the changed logo on top... but we cannot modify that...

Also, Moved to forum issues section

Re: what happened to the forums, :O

The default skin was updated to a version that is consistant with the version of the forum engine.

The dafault skin is the only one that allows all of the forum functions to work properly. For example - voting in polls and the additional smilies - are both available again now.

The older skins do NOT allow this atm.

When new skins are available, they will be installed and a new default skin can be choosen or voted for.

Re: what happened to the forums, :O

People complaining about the default skin change. ](*,)

The only thing I have to say in regard to the default skin change is that all regular users are named in orange and Admins are still bold orange. When looking at threads the boldness of admins does not show and therefore all regular users look like admins. This needs changing and should easily be possible in the ACP for that skin. I recommend it be changed especially as it is default.

what happened to the forums

Ok so now my forums are all stretched across the screen, like someone has tried to make it fill the page, its all distorted and titles are over lapping etc,

Whoever made that change can it be undone, or make it a custom option.
Deep within Noob Cave, you find a strange pool filled with a glowing blue liquid. You think back to what your mother told you about unfamiliar liquids found in caves.

You're pretty sure she said "Drink it! What's the worst that can happen?"

The thread below yours has the exact same title.... no need for duplicate threads. ](*,)
