Title: Site colors may have changed after updates
Post by: nerdly_dood on August 25, 2008, 08:32:58 AM
When I fired up my Internet browser, I found that SC4Devotion had changed colors, switching to the forum software's default color layout.  If you don't like this as much as the old one, I can help you change the theme to the black, yellow and red that it was before the site update.

First, click the "Profile" icon in the top menu bar:

Then, click "Look and Layout Preferences" in the left-hand option thingy:

Next, where it says that the theme is "SMF Default" click the (change) link:(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi220.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fdd138%2Fnerdly_dood%2Ftheme3.jpg&hash=305f0e22b1a79dc2f3a83858e012467b8a6ca9e3)

Now if you need to, scroll down and you will see a small screenshot of the classic SC4D color theme on the left and a link to switch to it on the right.

Click that link and you will be automatically taken back to "Look and Layout Preferences" but from then on everything in the SC4D forum will have its red, black and yellow color theme.

Thank you. Read Jeronij's post (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=5291.msg175016#msg175016) and thought it would be up later.

Thanks for the recall V ¡¡¡

Even this is a valid way to change the forums template, I dont recommend to do this at this stage of the upgrade process. During the next days some addtional changes will be done, and all the member's adjustements will be set to default, so, dont waste your time ;) ¡¡¡

Just wondering, can you keep this one as a theme that can be selected? Might as well... it's a lot easier on the eyes. ;)

edit: Ah, so I can select it in the options? Will that stay there as a permanent option (choosing the SMF default or the SC4D theme?)

You have always had the option of using this (if you were logged in).

It was always possible to switch between the SMF default and the SC4D theme indeed, and I was using the SMF theme the whole time. ;)
