    Hey - im sure there is an incredibly easy way to do this....but it has escaped my IT abilities!

    Out of curiosity, i hit the 'Go to old format' button (on the top right of the screen), just to remind myself what the old skin was like.

    But now i cant get back to the new skin.....? Arrggghhh

    Go here: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/profile.php?do=editoptions

    Scroll to the bottom of the page to the dropdown titled Forum Skin and pick the option "Use Forum Default". Then click save and log out and back in again.

    Your browser is reporting as IE7, even though you've IE8. This is why you can't get the new skin.

    We've an open bug for this at the minute, but the fault lies with something funny with your browser :)

    Deleted. Strange things happening - got a message saying I'd double posted, so had to re-boot. Seems to have solved the problem now...
