Yuk! What's up with the new forum?

I don’t have anything against orange as a color, but it sure is hard to read for thread titles in the forum. Is anyone else having problems reading it? ??? ???

When I noticed it yesterday, it did take a bit to get used to because it was yellow (suppose my poor eyes don’t help much), but if i’m not mistaken, there is an option to change the skin but I haven’t seen it yet)

Profile (icon at the top of this page) → Look and Layout Preferences

There’s no skin to change as it’s the forum I’m referring to — not avast AV. I’ve tried both FF and IE with same lousy viewing results.

My bad Rick…No coffee this morning yet haha

As pk has suggested, Profile (icon at the top of this page) → Look and Layout Preferences.

Thanks PK,

I looked everywhere (except in the right place ::slight_smile: ) of where to change this. Looks much better now. ;D

The default look of this forum is way too bright for me. I haven’t been able to figure out how to change the look. The only visible profile tab is when I login. There isn’t any look and layout option in my profile. Any help?

Should be there, see attachment, underlined.

@ Rick F

Is your signature up to date? WinXP Media Ctr SP-2

As Bob Dylan once sang The Times They Are A-Changin’

Maybe too many Happy Hour naps y’are a-take-in ???

the new look one the forum is wonderful i think.

i actually really like this new look, but im one of the few who love the look of the orange interface as well lol

Apart from the ‘in your face’ first impression, I notice that some posts now don’t wrap and cause a scroll bar to appear at the bottom and some posts are just oof-screen. Going to Classic Theme seems to have cured this and it’s easier to read.

Yep, sigline correct.

I’m not going to SP-3 because it contains an update that caused BSOD a couple of years ago. I have a post-it-note on my desk lamp not to ever install that one. It was KB916595. Also, KB951748 caused conflict with ZA. Sticking with SP-2.

Still using GE Force 7300, but with the VGA output (or is it RGB)? The DVI output died while I was away on vacation. Very strange. PC was unplugged so I know it wasn’t lightning. Switching cable connections is a lot cheaper than researching and buying a new video card. :o ::slight_smile:

Thanks for the concern though. ;D

I personally prefer the new look, it matches version 5 of avast.

I don’t see the same options as in the screen shot by Gargamel360. I only get the first one, account related settings.

Would really love to change the look to something not so vibrant.

Cheers,

Perhaps you need 20 posts for the option, like signature or P.M. rights.

You and fragman, the other who could not find the option, are both short of that.

A lot of changes have happened in a couple of years and SP2 has gone out of support:
Support for Windows XP Service Pack 2 ends on July 13, 2010

Plus SP3 has several performance improvements and many Critical Updates.

Are you running the latest ZA ???

Those that live in the past are doomed to keep making the same mistakes.

Pretty lame if you have to have a certain number of posts before you can change the forum theme. Don’t mind about the rest but the surely not the theme ?

Seeing as this is post 7 I will probably have to post another 13 “Me too” messages just to check if that option becomes available ;D

Cheers,
Brett

I’ve changed forum theme for browbotham and fragman to the old one. This makes count of 13 users of the default theme in opposite to 130000 users of the new :slight_smile:
