How do I rage quit?

    I have been a boards user for many years and a few days ago my layout changed. Not a big deal you would think but I can't deal with it. I posted in feedback and was told the classic layout was rolled out and the new, improved layout has been in use for a long time and it's only a few dinosaurs like me who were sticking with the old technology and I need to get with the program.

    I tried but I can't and the new established layout is doing my head in, it's just not for me. I asked about getting my posting history deleted and they said they don't do that anymore, which is fair enough.

    How do I delete my account though? It took me ages just to find after hours to post this. I know this is the pinnacle of first world problems but i just want to close my account. How do I do this?

    Just scroll down all the way and click “full site” to go back to old site

    You close your account through the control panel

    Look at your username on the top right on the screen.
    Click on the down arrow beside it.
    Click on control panel.
    Then you'll see close my account some where.

    I think!

    That wasn't much of a rage quit in the end. He slipped away gently into the night.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,330 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit


    Do not go gentle into that good night

    Paddy an easy way to find all the forums you visit is just to type the name of the forum in the browser or the URL bar at the top of the page. I don't like the new layout either but don't let that cause you to close your account, I find the glare of the white background in the new layout a bit off putting, but I could get used to it. I notice PROC haven't changed their forum skin anyway. Hopefully someone will come up with a solution or an app that will help us retain the legacy skin. :)

    Paddy Cow has gone to the great meadow in the sky.

    That rage was a bit of a damp squid.
