Well, here ya go.  I've installed a mod that adds a dropmenu up top that lets you select a theme from the three currently available.  It's top right in pc view, top middle in phone view.  The theme setting is retained in your profile until you change it, or until admin resets everyone to one theme.

Really sorry but I don’t understand all this technical talk!

If I don’t log in then the forum is very hard to read and use!

If I log in it looks normal on my phone!

It’s a nuisance as I don’t always want to log in or don’t have the time and as I said without logging in the site is unuseable for me!

It’s not good telling me all the technical lingo as I don’t understand it!

One option for you might to be to stay logged in on your phone.... Then your settings are always there. If you log out, you will see the new scheme by default.

Log in "forever" will help here.

I'm not quite sure if you are saying that you don't know how to change the look and layout of the screen?  If you do then it is quite easy to do certainly on a laptop but I rarely use my phone - too fiddly for me so cannot help you there.

If people stay logged in, on the old platform we would get messages that the system had reached it's limit..if people stayed logged in, would that not cause a problem for others to get on?

I think that was more of a platform problem than a forum problem. 500-600 people logged in should be a walk in the park....

[OldPilot]

I stay logged in all the time.

I have always stayed logged in, too.

The old server would occasionally display a white page with message that resources were exceeded.  That has nothing to do with users logged in, and shouldn't happen on any decent server.  AFAIK, there is no limit to how many users can be logged on.

There are currently three themes installed on the forum, they each present the same content with a different look. 

- Curve is the main theme that's included in the software, it's not responsive and won't look or work well on a phone. 

- Curve Multi Color is the theme MLC has been using for a while, it's based on Curve and includes color variants, you've been seeing the green version.  It's also not responsive. 

- Ant's Mutant Curve is a recent redesign of Curve that is fully responsive, that's why we're trying it here.  I've recolored it to match CMC green.

Admin selects which theme is default, that's what guests see (you're a guest when not logged in), and members who have not opted for a different theme.  Members can select a different theme in their Profile, checking your account I see you've done that.  When you're logged in, the forum knows who you are and uses the theme you've selected (Curve Multi Color).  When you're logged out you're a guest, forum doesn't know who you are and has no know way of knowing you've selected a different them, so you see the default theme (Mutant Curve). 

Yesterday I added a dropmenu up top that allows you to select one of the three themes.  It's supposed to change the profile setting and was when I tested it, but today it's not.  It changes theme for current session but reverts to default when you logout/login.  Am looking into that.

I've removed the theme changer mod, it wasn't working as intended, and cobbled together a 'Choose a Theme' button (top left) to each of the three installed themes.  Click on the button, it takes you directly to the page in Profile where you can change your theme.  Cleaned it up a bit and updated the thumbnails to make it simpler to use.  When you select a theme it updates your preference and you will always see that theme when you're logged in.  The button is not visible to guests, it disappears when you log out to prevent a lot of errors from guests, bots, and spiders.
