Forum updates

UserCP then the bottom option on the lh side of menus (I hope, because I'm green!) is Forum Version Manager, Manage Version.

Wonder if that will increase the green tally ...

Glad we'll still have the green version. Blue might work better for mobile devices but a lot of us prefer desktops and green is much better on them.

I use an iPad and still prefer the green version.

I wasn't aware there were two versions? I'm on the blue version which seems OK to me? But I have never experienced the green version. So can't compare.

Can anyone access the green version? or is it just an old version that isn't generally available?

I believe that you can convert to green in your User CP panel, but only if you joined before the blue version started, which you did. New blue members apparently don't have the option to change to green.

In your user cp, select Edit Options, then scroll down to Miscellaneous options, and select Forum Skin. Then choose New Masthead fixed width(recommended).

I don!!!8217;t understand.

Why does it say we have to switch off old forums skins but then says you will still be on an old one?

There have been several skins before the current blue one. The one immediately before the blue, i.e. the latest green one, will be kept, but all skins prior to that latest green one will be closed.,

If you want to be/remain on the latest green one, you can.

MSE Andrea said this:-

To reduce the time and resource it takes to make the switch we need to switch off some of those old forum skins and migrate the forum members who are on them to a newer skin (the one prior to the new blue skin). This will affect around 1,000 of you. You will still be on an old, green version of the Forum and will, of course, still be able to choose to switch to the newest, blue version if you decide to.

The 1000 is referring to people still on the older green versions, but they will be put onto the latest green version. If you are already on the latest green version, you still will be after the alterations.

Stretchy green will be fine. As long as its not limited to narrow green or narrow blue. If there was a stretchy blue, I could live with that.

I just dont want narrow blue (the default)

Readable please (a la GREEN!). I have nothing against blue, but the format, with large spacing and wishy washy colours is unreadable. I agree with others, it actually causes eyestrain. I thought it was to make it more readable on a mobile, but it's just as bad on that.

Please keep me stretched out and green

I believe they mean there are only 1000 users of certain versions of the green skin. If you look at the options there are currently 7 different green versions available plus the blue.

Exactly, incredible the amount of people that can't comprehend the OP properly .

the option to skip forward 10, 20, etc or even 'to page ***' would be great as if you're away from the forum for more than a day it takes ages to try to find where you are :money:

You can do this. :doh:

You've always been able to do this - well I have anyway - as long as I can remember

At the top of a thread ....

(for example)

.... on the left there is



and on the right something like ...

Page 1 of 106 1 2 3 4 5 > Last »

FOLLOWED BY A in a GREEN SQUARE

THAT is a GO TO PAGE link

Move forward any multiple of 20 (or 40) posts at a time to a PAGE of your choice

I've only ever tried different versions using quick links. The one that I like is New Masthead, stretchy. I would hate to have to get used to a different one.

Under userCP, it just says old version and new version. I'm not sure what the latest green version is as whenever there has been any changes I have gone back to the version that I like the best
