    The old skins that we said we stopped supporting 2 years ago? Sorry, no, they're not getting any more work and will be finally gone forever when the new site rolls out in a few months.

    Where are those dead links coming from Rasta? Are they in your list of subscribed forums and you can't remove them as the forum no longer exists? Not anything I can do for you obviously, just curious.

    They're Films, TV and one I can't identify, and they're the links still in the drop down menus on the superior old skin.

    I suppose I don't understand the eagerness to disable skins a percentage of your userbase prefer to use? I understand not supporting them, but the urge to make them 'gone forever' seems uselessly adversarial.

    I believe the other is Go Ahead Eagles?

    That's because they're already causing these sorts of problems (no new forums that have been created in the last 18 months, maybe more are on them) and they will be 100% incompatible with the new site.

    The current menu is 100% incompatible with the new site too by the way, so it's all changing and there won't be any of these optional skins when it goes live (there will be a dark theme like the old Cloud theme as we currently have). We will, in the future, be hoping to add a level of customisation or at least to offer alternatives, but the priorities for this year will be getting the new site out and settled.

    I still use the superior old skin too! I just have the new TV link in the my forums list and removed the old one I think, and don't really visit films.

    I'm sad that I'll be forced to use the new skin too soon, but I guess the old stuck in the mud fogies that we are will have to get used to it.

    My browser (Opera 12.17) simply won't format new board, that's why I hate it (that and the space wasting design and its sheer whiteness)
