OMG! The forum took a Xanex!
So look. here is what really happened. the software for the forum was on version 3.0.12 and needed to be on 3.1.6.
As near as I can tell, I was 8 version upgrades behind. (Not secure at all)
I did the upgrade and this is what it looked like when it finished.
I guess my old theme isn't compatible with this new version so it is time for a new theme.
I liked the old one and want to go back to something exactly like it which was called Black Pearl if I recall.
Send in suggestions if you have any. I'm game but I really liked the last theme which was why I kept it so long.
I'll start looking tonight for a new theme myself. Peace-Out

Re: OMG! The forum took a Xanex!
I was a little confused at first, though not entirely shocked. Yours isn't the only forum that took a major makeover with the new year.
Took me a bit to figure where the "new posts" link was... but I'm golden now.
Am a lil' bit bugged my alien is on the right side now. He's facing the wrong way, I may have to change him.

This is what I had:
https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/style/black_pearl/
I loved it but sure enough it isn't ported to this new version of the forum bye-bye. What did you find EG?

Re: OMG! The forum took a Xanex!
Geez, it is like the forum is having an identity crisis. The bright colours hurt my eyes too.
I looked to see if I could change the appearance of the board to something darker, but did not see any such choices anywhere in preferences.

Re: OMG! The forum took a Xanex!
OK. I can deal with this "Borg Green" look. It does not hurt my eyes. I even like it but we'll see. There are hardly any "styles" that can run on a board running this new of a version of PHPBB.
Please hunt for yourselves and if you think you have one that I'll like more than this one let me know. It has to be able to work on PHPBB 3.1.6
Thanks.

But, it is much easier on the eyes, thank you.

It is a funny skin, but I find the classic skin more relaxing, and less painful to the eyes.

Could you take this opportunity to enable news feeds here ?
Go to the ACP
On the left near the bottom of "Board configuration" you should see "Feed settings".
This is how ours is set at ut99.org

Re: OMG! The forum took a Xanex!
Only downside of this new look is the posting area isn't as wide as the old one. It's not a big deal, but it can "chop off" larger screenshots at the borders.

Re: OMG! The forum took a Xanex!
Thanks Chamberly.
Yes, EG, I think you are right. I wonder if there is a setting I can change to enable it to be more wide.
I'm now starting to look closely at fixing my actual web page and then I work it over real good eventually and make it look and work better.
