I get the default vbulletin (blue/white) scheme when viewing at home but I see the 'old'(purple) scheme at home
I take it thats at Work and Home, i take it the trying of a new drink Port is working out then :hand:
my phone is still showing the white background with blue bar cleared cookies cache logged out and then back in showing as oldschool nms in the lower left bottom blue bar.
I have cleared everything and when I log in everytime I have to select "old school nms" as it always defaults to the v bulletin blue and white.. :-( and that is on all my pc's
I have to say, I'm not finding this new version of vbulletin very user friendly, it may have more gimmicks, but it's not as easy to use from a user perspective.. I suppose we are stuck with it tho...
Yes, oops.Quote:

For the folks that are having the colour scheme issues, do you log off from NMS when you are finished or do you simply close the browser.
If you log off the colour scheme reverts to the default when you next log in.
Make sure you select remember me and don't log out, shut the browser down and start it again, now what do you see
This is a known issue, why do you log out when you're finished with NMS?Quote:

same for me nothing is working to change the colour scheme.
where else should I go to choose the style????
currently I am showing old school nms and English (us) using the bottom blue bar of the page to the left "quick style chooser" they are no other styles to choose from and no defaults.
i had old school on the pc upstairs yesterday , then i tried to see if i had something different to the laptop.
now i have the same bright white forum on both computers.
very annoying being so bright, is there no way to change the colour scheme other than the quick style (that doesnt do anything)
I don't understand what is going on, i've actually disabled the CMS function which adds the HOME tab on the Navbar, it should not appear and yet you can still see itQuote:

Fi for example uses Safari and when i use it i can switch from default to NMS Old School no problem.
So, i can only assume that it's the users PC causing the problem :sad: they simply are not managing to engage the style correctly
I log out of nms everytime as I also have. habit as I logoff my sessions at work everytime I leave my desk....Quote:

2 no easy "todays posts" button to see what has happened today - especially handy for me as I logon at work on my phone to check things out, but don't have enough time to reply, but might do when I get home.
3 default view should be old school nms as I think everyone agrees it looks better than vbulletin default
4 I don't like the way it shows the new posts, If I look at a thread and post a reply, then do a refresh, it;s not easy to see if someone has replied to it. It used to shows as highlighted and was easy to work out that there was a new reply in there..
Don't do it, just close the browserQuote:

First time log in on any new browser is the default vBulletin, from there you change it to old school nms and it should stay there presuming you don't log out when you are finishedQuote:

Alan, try logging out yourself then back in I bet you get the vB scheme as well.
If I look at new posts, I can't tell from the list if the thread has been updated as it's not highlighted like it used to be. The icons on the left show either as red/orange or blueish, but that doesn't seem to mean anything.Quote:

If you want I'll take a look at the back end but that's up to you.
Nope, i log out and it stays in NMS mode even when logged off, then i log back in and i'm still in NMS modeQuote:

Yes, that worked :D
Total of 3, vBulletin default, Old School NMS and the latest one called Test based on the NMS oneQuote:

I think you need at least two to force through a change, the physical act of switching forces it through.
Question is what does a newbie see when they join?
If there is a new post there is a small blue circular icon and if you hover your cursor over it it says go to first new postQuote:

test worked for me
And me .
Perfect I can view without sunglasses again
Alan are we getting the wee mini logos on each forum that indicates when a thread has a new post you know the mini changes colour rather just the wee thought bubble thing you have the now.
