Is there a way for individual users to change the forum skin or theme? It should be an option if the admins have installed optional skins, but I don't seem to see a user panel for it.

I'm trying to get used to the new look (threw me off a little even though I knew it was coming... you know what I mean, almost felt lost like "wait, where do I find this link again?" sort of thing). Anyway, aside from having a little trouble reading the text, I've also noticed that on the right side where our User CP box is, I think our names used to be linked to our profile. I know I can access it by using the Quick Links drop down menu, but I like to have that easier link to click especially when I'm using my iPhone and need to get to my profile.

I've been checking the site out here and there on my laptop (Firefox) as well as my iPhone (Safari) and so far those are the only two biggies that are throwing me off the most (the text and the name/profile link). I'm sure the site is still being worked on here and there, so I won't really post too much unless I see a big error. I noticed one error earlier, but it seems to be corrected now.

I kind of miss the old look, but I'm willing to see how this one works out of course.

there was but i just had a look and that option seems to have been taken away for some reason,
it was in setting and options part at the base.

most forums have dozens of skins and ive always been one for making a skin that's suits me rather than a basic skin that everyone's stuck with with my experience with forums most you can alter the writing background colours and tool bar options
i think folk should remember its not the pixels that make a forum what it is ....its the people in the forum that make it worth coming back too time and time again

Hmmm... looks like I'm the only one so far that likes the new layout!

I do have one niggle, though... there's no link at the bottom of the thread you're reading to take you back to whatever subforum you were on at the time. You need to either press the back button or scroll all the way back up to the top of the thread and click on the links there.

I don't hate the new layout or anything, it's really growing on me and there are aspects of it I like better than the old. My main critiques are more about reading/viewing and navigation. I see what you mean about the navigation links at the bottom of the thread. I hadn't noticed that yet, and it's also quite handy to have.

[Chas]

At the top of each page, we have a navigation bar:

X Marks the Scot - A Community of Kiltwearers. > General Kilt Talk> General Kilt Talk> Totally disoriented..

At the bottom of each page, we used to have the same. It has disappeared. We now have to scroll to the top to re-navigate.

Can it be re-instated, please.

Regards

Chas

I'm with Stilleto. Bring back the link to the subforum at the bottom and I'm good to go. I do kinda miss the tartan background, but I'll get over it.

Will those with issues of having the page off center or the ads not aligning properly please post a screen shot of what you are seeing.

The ads, along with the entire forum should be fluid and adjusting to fit your monitor.


The Forum Jump, pull down menu is still there. one add banner lower than you are used to.

Steve, this what I'm seeing on some pages. For instance, this is the 3rd page of the "disoriented" thread. The 4th page seems normal.
