I just got another notice of themes being "nuked" - is this a repeat announcement or have there actually been more changes?

You can never stop with just one nuke, you have to go more, and more, and more. And they have a taste it for now

SofaJockey Just in case anyone pops in here looking for answers, here's a mid-thread update: Changing your Theme or Background has never been easier! TMStep 1: find the ProBoards Toolbar (PBN-Bar) in the lower right corner of your browser screen. (click the pic for a larger version) If it's not already expanded, click the little arrow, to make it appear like so... There are two icons on there to pay attention to for this exercise - The picture looking thing : this changes your background image. - The orange T : this changes your theme. The ThemeLet's start with the Theme, click the orange T in the pbn-bar. It will take you to a page where you can make a selection, just hang on, roll with it. You should see a dropdown box that you can click, to select one of the themes. If you want more explanation of the themes themselves, there's a thread for that >>> Right Over HereOnce you make a selection, and then click Confirm, it will give a little modal popup and you're almost done. Just click OK, and you're back where you started. Background ImageNow, how about that background image? If you're not sure what you want, there's a thread describing them Over HereClick the little picture icon, and you'll get a little modal popup. Just scroll down the list, and pick the one you want, and it's done. Even easier than the theme-change. Changing your Like/Edit/Quote button location:What if you want the Like/Edit/Quote buttons in a different spot on the post? On the upper nav bar, click on Profile, and then when you're on the profile display screen, click Edit ProfileFrom the Edit Profile screen, click on the tab labeled Personal to change your preferences for the Like/Edit/Quote buttons From the Personal tab, scroll down, keep scrolling, stop when you see Post Response Controls LocationSelect from the available options, Top or Bottom. Scroll down to the bottom, and choose Save Personal Settings. That's it. Enjoy your relocated Like/Edit/Quote buttons!

Not sure if they are completely new, but the largeness of them definitely is. They are located at the top of the page, right under "Unofficial Forums."

I went with the dark theme and everything went dark, well grey, but still dark. The bit I really liked before was that the 'new' buttons were red. It caught the eye and made the threads with activity stand out. Is there any way to achieve that and still stay with the dark theme? Optionally, and I'm the only one who might go for it. Is there a theme with soft colours? I like blue, but pastels or jewel tones might be a good option. Thank you. Yep. Hate the grey. Also miss the red 'new'. I felt that a lot was unclear about how to restore the general look I had, or even have my background picture. Had to directly ask a mod to directly point out the tiny buttons in the bottom right corner. Half the time when trying to access that button the task bar pops up and I have to try again. And again. And, well, point made. I appreciate that you're trying to make it easier. I just didn't think the rollout was clear in how to fix settings. I still see profiles with blank avatars so something isn't working right for them.

Thanks for the detailed walk-thru regack We're trying to make improvements but of course, as a bunch of volunteers on someone else's site, it's not an easy process. Reg and @howyummy have been doing a lot of work and I'm appreciating the results. Placing the icons on the bar is to increase our social media presence and distinguish the socials from the tabs on the left. They may be a little big but every site has them. Reducing themes lets Yummy and Reg give people more customizable options, especially where you'd like to place the like buttons, and means that any Proboards changes don't result in Yummy having to fix twice as much stuff. I don't think we have less now, I think we had too many before. You can't improve anything without some roadworks and at least they're not taking the site down for 8 hours to try everything out. So you know, give them some room.

Whilst I greatly appreciate all the hard work all you guys put in to keep this place going, at no financial gain of yours as we know, that's still some shitty damage control up here. Improvements, eh... Well how do those improvements fit with the whole "don't fix what's not broken" approach? On top of the whole appetite for change aspect, that, well, you never tried to gauge your community for? I could also go over point, including the ridiculous "increase our social media presence" claim, which apparently works best one theme at a time as per the earlier posts, but I guess i'll go get some sleep instead

The up vote, down vote issue is greatly improved. Instead of having 2 versions of every theme it's now an independent option. We also, as users, don't understand what's going on behind the scenes, things may well have been broken. We are trying to increase our social media presence and the icons are, I assume, being rolled out one theme at a time as a test. regack can confirm that either way. BTW, when I said we're volunteers on someone else's site I meant that it stops us from doing all the things we may want to do. We could have an awesome idea and Proboards will be like NOPE doesn't work like that. It stops Yummy and Reg from having full access, they can only work with the tools the site decides to give them.

"don't fix what's broken" you mean "fix what's been DELIBERATELY IGNORED AND OVERLOOKED FOR MONTHS" 😤🤔 But, by all means, jOIN MY ARMY AND DO THE WORK WITH ME. I DON'T MIND HAVING MORE HELP (while I go play Warframe). 😂

We could have an awesome idea and Proboards will be like NOPE doesn't work like that. It stops Yummy and Reg from having full access, they can only work with the tools the site decides to give them. Wellll... I have to admit I was testing a bit in the ● Legacy theme. It's not exactly the same as ● Prime/Blue/Dark so I was testing it in there ( ● Legacy [F] was also my jam ) So, if anyone wants some background here (no pun intended)... ● Legacy was a clone of ● Legacy [F] modified to allow for the swappable background images ❰ LAB ❱ has a lot of experimental stuff going on, so, we can test in there, but it doesn't necessarily reflect how everyone else will see things. ❰❰ LAB ❱❱ is a clone of ● Dark, which shares it's base with ● Prime/Blue. ProBoards has a number of things blackboxed, so to speak. You can modify templates, and you can make changes with javascript plugins, but there's no direct database access, and changing some things and having access to some types of data is just not really possible. There is no way, for example, to generate a list of what users are using what themes - we can see a total count of users/per theme, but not WHO. Subsequently...there is no way to write a script to migrate users from one theme to another. There is almost NOTHING that you can change about the mobile version of the site... A lot of this is supposed to change & be improved with ProBoards v6... but when that happens, there will also be more pain, as I'm sure lots of things will break. So, enough about the things we can't change, let's talk about the things we can.What was most frustrating about this? Not knowing/remembering how to change? Not having enough notice? Is the announcement not visible enough? Help us figure out how to Do Better Next Time TM (seriously, because there will ALWAYS be a next time).

I've been switching themes a lot lately, to try everything out, but there are (currently) 156 possible combinations (theme+bg)...
I keep going back to Legacy as my favorite, even if there are aspects to the others I like as well... particularly I'm enamored with the quick page up/down floaty buttons in <<LAB>> even if the size/colors need some work.
This isn't a diary... why am I rambling on like this?

This isn't a diary... why am I rambling on like this? I went back to Prime. The white background is a little glary but with Legacy i was having trouble with the quoted text in the reply window. I don't know if it's just my screen but the text is white on a light grey background, and it just felt too hard on my eyes. Is it like that on your version?
