Title: New 'Simple Theme' with clean layout
Post by: Mike Barrio on 19/05/2015 at 19:52
Hi folks,

Welcome to our new forum theme ..... I hope you like the clean layout and easy to read format.

I think it looks great ...... and good for smaller screens like tablets and phones too :cool:

Best wishes
Mike

But if you wish to continue to use the previous green theme:

(1) Select 'profile' from the "Hello xxxxx" drop down menu at the top right of the screen.
(2) Under 'Modify Profile' select 'Look and Layout'.
(3) Under the big blue box you will see 'Current theme' and 'Simple Theme (change)' ..... Select 'change'.
(4) You will now see all the themes listed and simply select (Use this theme) for the one that you would like to use :wink

Best wishes
Mike

PS: You also access your PM Messages via the "Hello xxxxx" drop down menu at the top right of the screen.

Found out how to change it back. Simple mode just seemed to squash every thing over to one side.
All sorted now feeeww

Hi Colin,

To access your PM Messages, just click on "Hello .. Cosun" in the top right hand corner and select 'Personal Messages' in the drop down menu.

When you receive a new PM Message a (1) will appear after Hello to notify you, so ........ Hello  (1) .. Cosun
...... and you will receive a PM notification email obviously.

Hope this helps :z16
Best wishes
Mike

But yes, if anybody would prefer to swap back to the theme they were using before - just see 'reply 1' in this thread.

I have changed the PM message notification in the top right corner to be more eye catching :z16

When you receive a new message it should now read:   Hello-New PM Messages =(1) 'your name'

While still staying with the forum theme, could offer an explanation as to why some posts show Big txt then the very next post shows very small txt , is this user option.
Or perhaps maybe a phone issue. Hmm

Hi Colin,

I've not seen that happening I'm afraid. It is not a user option anyway.

Best wishes
Mike

.......... looking into this problem later, the text size problem turned out to be on one of the other themes which has not been designed to be mobile responsive.
