The two themes I installed yesterday will hopefully work better for mobile devices but they look great on desktops as well.

The orange version of this theme hasn't been updated since around 2010 unfortunately. :( The only thing I can attempt, is a recolorization of the blue one.

Understand - don't kill yourselfv on it :)

just a quick note - I got a PM on another forum from one of the members here, as he couldn't log back in anymore and he could see me post... Could you maybe put the "clean the cookies" guidelines on some kind of welcome "unlogged" page? He mustn't be the only one... Typically this is the kind of stuff that could drive unwanted attrition :(

Thank you!

+1 That's a great request, Lonestar. I'm not computer savvy and had a terrible time figuring out what to do to restore my login. Simply deleting RC10talk cookies didn't work for me. I bet there are other members (perhaps lots of members) who are having trouble with this as well. So if someone here could please post an official "how to restore your login" post that would be awesome. thanks. :D

Alright, I was able to insert a line of code into the login page right above the text boxes. I couldn't get it to accept any text formatting so It's a little small but hopefully does the trick. It says: "ATTENTION: Due to recent security enhancements, you may need to clear all of your browsers cookies/cache files in order to log in!" Clearing your cookies and or cache files are what worked for you guys, right?

Also I think I found a way to change the AcidTech theme to orange. I'll have to disable the board to test it but won't do it until a period when there's less traffic.

me also. I had to clear everything on my computer to get it to log back on though. Figured what the hell...cleared my phone too completely. Now I wish I woulda left my phone alone since I really don't use it for this forum anyway. Theres alot of cool projects on here that deserve a big monitor to show the excellent details 8)

I was successful in recolorizing AcidTech from blue to an orange/gold, akin to the old AcidTech Tiger theme! I have it up at http://www.clodtalk.com/ if you want to check it out. I wanted to test install it there first to get the consensus before I replace the blue version here with it.

PS: I would have used the youtube video to it, but the youtube button does not seem to be working properly. :wink:

You're right, it doesn't. :? It works fine on ClodTalk which is running the same board version and default theme. I'll have to mess around with it later.



EDIT: Fixed! It was a security issue. I had to change the http urls to https urls in the youtube button code.

Not a huge concern but the login for me on an iPhone is back to once a day or so asking me to log in again. It saves the password and all so not a big deal, but just wanted to let you know

I don't think there's anything I can do on this end about it. I got rid of the mod that was causing the other more severe problems you were experiencing, and now It's back to stock. It could have something to do with the fact that we're now a secure site, or a change in how the login is handled after the board was upgraded to the latest version. Hmmmm...

Could be for sure. Not that it’s a problem just wanted to make sure you knew. I suspect a good percentage of us are on both iPhone and android, I rarely touch a pc

I just changed the max allowable avatar size to 150x150 as I felt the previous setting was improper.
