As I am still a newbie compared with some, I am on the blue skin. I am pleased that when I am posting I can see all the other posts below. This is brilliant as trying to remember them is difficult.

Please
I never know who is online on this skin, and I never know who has initials after their username, so I wonder why they have disappeared. A little adjustment so those of us who are new or fairly new, would really help.
Thank -you

    They changed the look of the forum a while ago from the old green format to a new blue look, old timers like me :p where given the choice of remaining on the old green look......newer users do not get that choice as they want to move away from the old format to a more modern look.

    You are not dumb.:)
    In your edit options, it is the first choice Use Forum Default (recommended)
    Much larger screen and blue at the top - Blue Skin.
    On this skin, I don't see the same as the old Green one.

    Ahh I see. I didn't realise there was a difference. Mine is all green so I guess I'm old :)

    Not at all. I can change mine, but I am so used to the blue.
    It just needs some extras. Hence the thread.

    easy way to check that in the 'new' skin is to see if their signature is still there (presuming they had one)

    It's more about seeing who is online, in spite of someone thinking different.
    Although I have to admit that there seems to be a lot of members missing that used to post in DT as well as the Arms.

    You can tell if someone is online when using the blue skin as there is a green light under their avi, or where the avi should be. Also if you click the forum jump button and scroll to the top there is a section called....."who's online".

    Some people only exist as examples of what to avoid...
