Won’t. Say. A . Word. To anyone.

I hate that I can't navigate between the different forums like I used to. I'm barely using boards.ie now for that reason.

What version are you using? I've always just used the default skin and navigation is the same as it has always been with the old school drop down menus etc. I even force it on the mobile which is more faffy but bearable.

Old school as in you have around 15 menus along the top, or four starting with talk to.?

4 starting with Talk To although I appreciate it changed a while back it's not intrinsically different. I've never bothered with mobile, touch or enhanced or whatever the names for all those different versions were/are.

I'm not adding these directly to the extension as they're not really fully done and I'm working on something new at the moment.

(Other web devs - Please don't judge. I start well and as it drags on, I get sloppy with my CSS.)

All I did was tweak some of the colour values. I wouldn't have a clue about the rest of it.

[Hodors Appletart]

I see the lines of code but I have no idea what to do with them to get my boards to looks like what they are making it look like

I have stylus and I'm using Dark Blue theme but i'm interested in the green

When you click the icon, the dropdown has

Write style for:
www.boards.iethis URL

Click the boards.ie part and paste in the code above. Then disable the dark blue one.

[Hodors Appletart]

thanks for that

do I need to be on the lighter native theme for that to work correctly

[Hodors Appletart]

just answered that myself, and the answer is yes

[Hodors Appletart]

the green theme is pretty close to the old school green thats amazing thanks you should win a prize or something

Dunno which it was but it was easier to navigate that whatever I was put onto last week. I used to have handy drop down menu's, but they're all gone now.

The one I'm on now is dreadful and very difficult to get to the forum I'd normally use so now I'm putting a keyword into the search and taking the long way to a forum.

I'd normally use AH (like most), motorbikes and some of the sports forum ie cycling, running & athletics & swimming.

I'm hardly using any of them now.

Follow the forums you use the most, then go to your Control Panel, links to your followed forums will be below your unread followed threads. I haven't used the top menu for years.
