    Guys, can you please clear your cookies and try the forums again to see if that brings back the skin you should be on?

    Thanks for the screenshots.

    I've cleared cookies, but it's still the same.

    This is what the site looks like for me.

    No idea if this is 'white skin' or not, but it doesn't look any different from Default theme to me.

    Same. There isn't even an option in the User CP under 'Edit Options' to choose White or beta.

    Been using the Beta skin for ages. Just logged in on incognito and still the same, with no option to change the skin as per Niamh's instructions.

    Incidentally, it seems like .18% is far too low - are you only looking at desktop users or including mobile users in that?

    Forum skins are only enabled on desktop, touch looks the same for everyone.

    Thanks, that is helpful and it does appear to be the default skin. Leave it with me.

    Is there no way anymore at all to just see ALL of the posts on the site ordered in date descending?

    The short 3 page list you get on the homepage is not nearly enough. I feel like lots of the site is just hidden now.

    Just with regard to the forum skins menu being gone on the Control Panel to switch, I removed that until all of the old skins have been deleted from it. I can reinstate that once they are removed as options if people want more time to try one of the others aside from the forum default.

    You're welcome. If you were on one of the skins that wasn't supposed to change we'll hopefully get that back for you soon.

    What'd you go and do now lads, as now when I click into appearance settings, it brings me to the page where it shows if I've been carded in the past:confused:

    99% of the time I use boards is on my phone, don't like the touch site, but the white skin was doing the job just fine.

    Yep, this one is awful.

    Get todays posts?
    Use more real estate on the page and not have the big blank sides?
    Get to user CP?
    Get to Feedback through the small menu at the top?

    m.boards.ie still works...

    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.
