Old Forum Style : Othor Games

» Fri Feb 18, 2011 8:21 pm

Hey,

I remember a while ago when the forum style changed, there were people who found a way to get the old style back using the Firefox plugin Stylish.

Can someone please help me do this?

Thanks,

- Danjb

I also have a http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5459839/Chrome%20Extensions/BSF%20Tweaks/ExosBSFTweaks.crx that fixes some of the annoyances with the new forum, it also adds a link to the Community Discussion to the main page.

Thanks for the link, but it still looks a bit funny for me, there's loads of black at the top and some of the buttons are black...

Can anyone give me a fully working layout? The thread just seems to contain lots of snippets.

EDIT: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v247/dragon_trident/Morrowind/MWForums.png is what it looks like for me:

That is quite old and was for the forum style before this one.

Can anyone give me a fully working layout? The thread just seems to contain lots of snippets.

I have a Green Skin (By Max) that mostly works fine if you are interested.

Yeah that would be great, thanks - maybe I can play around with it and restore this forum to its tanny-goodness.

(but if anyone does have the code for a tan skin, that would be even better!)

I second this; if anyone can provide me with the code to get the old tan theme back, that'd be great.

The code in that thread is somewhat redundant since the last update.

In one of the later threads on modifying the forum, there was someone putting together a tan skin. Or some work on it. I am not sure ow far it got though.

The code for the green skin by Max aka Nobody (With one or two alterations by me) is:

The only thing I use is NoSquint to make the text Orange. I personally think the default text color is difficult to read.

The orange text reminds me of the REALLY old TES website.
