Where do I change the tibb themes? Logged on today and the formatting and colour schemes have all changed. Way too light, and can barely see the grey writing on a white background.

I can't remember where to change it.

[Niamh.]

Are you on a phone or a computer? It's right down the bottom, left hand side on a computer

ETA, also there if you're using your phone but not using Tapatalk

Nothing on the bottom left apart from ""contact us."

Can someone go into the link to change themes and then post the link in here, please? I just can't see where it is. Cheers.

I don't have that bar showing.

Has James changed this for the whole site today, as I have no idea whhy it's switched like this.

Go to User CP- Edit Options and you can change it there too

[The Slim Reaper]

Got it. Thanks Niamh. The colour scheme was so light, I couldn't make out the bar.

Mine hasn't changed anyway

[Niamh.]

No worries, what one had it changed to?

No idea without going through all the themes again. I saw him talking about a new theme for phones, so I think it might have been that one as the formatting was really strange. The gifs on my sig were stacked on top of each other rather than next to each other for example.

The solution was under my nose all along - he'd have got away with it, if it wasn't for that pesky Arista.

[James]

This is the menu selector to change the theme.

Also go into the User CP to change it, as Niamh said.

I see the stacking gifs. That must be a change I didn't notice before.

When I saw Slim had posted a thread with "Help"

the image of him at the bookies window with Kate in the background and a very worried TS behind the counter just flashed in my mind and i thought "oh no not SLim as well"

Is this the bar that is too light?

Thanks James. I got it sorted, but that is the theme it had switched to. The thread column that's on the right with the standard blue theme, was also over on the left.

My eyesight is definitely deteriorating, but that theme is really suffering from a lack of contrast.

The new theme is decent on a small screen (phones) but I switched the desktop back straight away. Nothing will beat classic Light Blue on desktop I'm afraid.

Just to be annoying and point out James - you should be able to set a different default for phone browsers and computer browsers with a small bit of vb code. I have to agree that the new theme isn't great on a "proper" screen.

Can mods change it for us?Your theme? No, but it's very easy to do yourself

You can use the menu at the bottom-left off the page to set a theme for your desktop browser, and a different theme for your mobile browser.

I might change the font on the desktop view of the new theme, if people think it will be clearer. I can do a few other tweaks also.

Yes but people are lazy and incompetent :joker:. You can set the site to "know" whether it's on a desktop or mobile version of a browser and set the default theme accordingly.

Anyway, I've decided that I don't like the new one on phone either: it doesn't show the "date/time of the last post" on the thread list. TiBB is fairly slow-moving today so that's sort of vital for knowing if a thread is active.

Do you mean the thread list in each forum eg.' General Chat? That doesn't show the last post time on mobile, but the New Posts and Today's Posts links show it, and also uses bold text for threads when they have new posts you haven't read.

I mean the list for each forum, obviously I want to be able to see the Serious Debates real threads without having to wade through all of the Chat & Games chaff :joker:.

It still bolds threads with new posts though.

Another option (in the Chrome browser at least) is to use the 'Desktop Site' option in the browser menu.

My mistake it doesn't show the last post times in forums using that option. :blush:

I have darkened the font on the new themes. So the text is clearer now, with more contrast.

[Alf]

What a guy James is. He deserves more respect than he's given. He keeps this place running for us all.

I have given him some backchat in the past. But never out of disrespect. And he's always been such a respectful guy that I could never get the better of him.

We have a great well rounded guy leading this forum. That's why it's stood the test of time when other forums have deceased.
