    I don't see any difference between 'White' and 'Beta' when i switch between the two - they both are vBulletin skin.

    'New Beta' doesn't look any different to 'Default' either.

    Those of you who used White or Boards.ie Beta skin should now be back to your normal skin.

    Those of you who used one of the lesser used skins that have been disabled, you can now go to Edit Options to try out White or Boards.ie Beta to see if they are preferable to the forum default for you.

    Thanks for your patience folks.

    I'm pretty sure that the Boards.ie New Beta is the default skin.

    That was supposed to have been fixed last week, I presume this is on the touch site?

    the first screenshot is how m.boards.ie looks on the homepage and the second is how it looks when you click into any forum or thread.

    please back the nice calming blue and grey

    There's no thanks in Helpdesk, that's normal behaviour.

    Thanks Niamh.

    I must admit I always find it kinda funny how you guys have to "see what happened" when you make changes and suffer unintended consequences.

    It kind of gives me a mental image of boards.ie infrastructure being the Chinese Room thought experiment (or perhaps lots of Chinese rooms).

    To be honest I think the lads would agree with this summation of vBulletin!

    Used legacy skin with "dark or black" theme for years.

    New skin set to dark at the moment.
    Text is just not clear enough. And i like black backgrounds so the light option for the new skin is no option.

    And for that reason i have gone the "read all new posts" in 1 go more in the last month than in all those years before.
    Cant be arsed to strain my eyes.

    Another thing that is annoying is that i cant have 2 browsers side by side, same size on my monitor as i used to be able to do with the old one.

    From all the things you could have gotten rid off, the legacy site was the worst pick.

    We removed some of the old, lesser used ones but there are still two older forum skins available if you go to https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/profile.php?do=editoptions, scroll to the bottom of the page and where it says 'Forum Skin' choose 'White' or 'Boards.ie Beta'. These are the older skins - they might be closer to what you are looking for/used to.

    On m.boards.ie I seem to be getting a "page not found" response quite often when I click the menu item for subscribed forums - https://m.boards.ie/subbed.php

    It does not happen all the time.

    I notice "location" is no longer listed under username on the left on the White theme and probably others.

    Frequenting the weather and infrastructure forums this one-line is extremely useful. Can we bring it back please? It was always optional and I can't see any logical reason to remove it.

    In the user control panel / profile privacy, theres an option for setting the visibility of 'social groups', and these groups are accessible in the 'networking' section.
    I don't remember these being visible before,
