Forum Style? (1 Viewer)

[Sarah168]

Umm I'm probably the only person who used the default version (or "other" version, can't remember) for the forum appearance. Is this gone now? It's not important obviously but I really hate this dark blue style.

Is the option gonna return?

I removed it, because its existence meant every change we made to the forums had to be done twice.

I guess I can re-enable it... but it won't be supported though. Future changes might break it.

umm another question, when was the ad introduced in the middle of the threads? its heaps annoying :-/

Last night.

An unfortunate side-effect of having ads 'out of the way' up the top is that people ignore them.

This is just an experiment to test Google's recommended ad location for forums. We'll see how it goes.

 

[Sarah168]

oh ok. Thanks for bringing it back for now. I guess I'll just have to get used to the new style the next time a change comes into effect.

muffinman: yeah i noticed the ad being lodged between the 1st and 2nd posts too. I thought it was just like that for the other forum skin.

 

[MuffinMan]

yeah but if they dont want to click it, they wont, no matter where u place them...
so it doesnt really work does it?

 

[sikeveo]

what with these bloody sponsored links in the middle of threads?

 

[Sarah168]

you can avoid it if you use the other style

 

[MuffinMan]

how do u do the other style?

 

[Sarah168]

way at the bottom on the left is a drop down menu. Change it to VBulletin 2 Default

Hmm I thought Tim was liasing with you on this - I'll reply to your PM.

It's a nice design, but it's not a forum style...
