Title: How to - Change forum Themes
Post by: ianjpage on February 28, 2015, 08:18:51 pm

The new forum has the ability to change themes and allow for different colours / images / layouts depending on the user preferences.

To change your theme from the default:

• Click on "Profile" in the top menu bar
• Under "Modify Profile" select and click "Look & Layout"  (If not visible, check under Profile > Account Settings > Modify Profile > Look and Layout )
• At the top of the information, it says Current Theme and tells you what you're using, if you click the Change button beside this you get the list of available themes
• Click on "Preview Theme" under any of the theme's and the system will apply it temporarily so you can see it.
• If you like it, Click on "Use This Theme" and it will then apply and set this as your default.

If you don't see a theme you like, you an go to http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/ and browse the ones available there, if you find one please send me a message with the link and i'll be happy to download and install it.

Lol yeah good point, if you don't click "Use Theme" you can just click the home button on the top menu and it'll reset to the theme you last were using
