Changing board style.
The default style for the new forum is called "Prosilver". However, members here have a choice of four others if they prefer to use them.
Go to User Control Panel, click "Board Preferences" tab then select "Edit Global Settings" in the left hand panel. Select the style you want in "My Board Style".
The style called "Subsilver2" is similar to the default, but will place avatars on the left-hand side of the forum, for those who are easily confused.

Re: Changing board style.
I suppose I should install: https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/styl ... subsilver/ to replace subsilver2 and then do some CSS changes so the avatars are on the left side for you as an alternative style? Otherwise I can install https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/exte ... _switcher/ instead and you can maintain one style instead

Re: Changing board style.
I swapped [temporarily]over to SubSilver style - which, on the whole, I do prefer. Just to point out, however, that in that style the last 's' of the Skeps logo is cut off - and also the 'Online' diagonal notification bar remains on the right-hand side of the board and overlaps the 'Reply with quote' button.

Hey, Speedy Gonzalez! (Ashley) - Both issues fixed already! Super! Thank you.

Re: Changing board style.
Now, as an active member @Ketchup was there any other style options available? Or was it just prosilver (modern) and subsilver (classic) ?

Re: Changing board style.
Just the two: 'ProSilver' and 'AllanStyle SUBSILVER' (I have chosen the latter)

Re: Changing board style.
I'm referring to the old board hosted at ProphpBB e.g. prosilver, subsilver2, a dark style, etc. I am only taking an educated guess based on the OP

Re: Changing board style.
That second 'Online' button change is definitely better - and I love the fact that the posts are numbered now. (Was that also in the Prosilver? Not sure, but if it was - it wasn't so noticeable).

Re: Changing board style.
No, it appears ProSilver uses an image instead of a number

Re: Changing board style.
Oh sorry ... gotcha. AFAIK, we members had NO choice of style on the old board. So, it's rather exciting now with all these changes now on offer (changes for the better - as opposed to the TTT type of changes that all ProphpBB forums are currently being forced to endure).
(TTT = TapatalkTerroristTakeover)
I've just realised ......... The OP here is an old post - from about 2 years ago! I had just assumed it was something posted recently here since the new board was created.
DURR

Re: Changing board style.
No problem, I'll get a few more styles installed. How does https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/style/revolution/ & https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/style/hexagon/ sound? A nice mixture of light and dark :)
