changing the layout


I want to change my layout from the 'spaced up' layout to something else (ie... calm blue) but i am worried that if i do, all the work i have done to get the colours for the forum tables, post tables and topic tables will disappear. How can i make sure they dont disappear??

Re: changing the layout


Sorry - by changing the board theme to another design you will get the colours and layout of the new design. That's how a new design works.

Also, you will lose any Custom CSS and HTML code. However, the content and names of your forums, topics and posts will not change.

If you are not sure about what I just said, it may be worthwhile creating a test board that is just like your current board and trying the theme change on it. That way, you can see the difference before you touch your main board.

Ok, thanks!

Do you reckon i could note down the settings i have used for my current colours, then change the custom layout and then put back in the previous settings??

Of course you can do that...And you can backup your custom CSS/HTML to make sure it isn't lost if/when you do change the theme...

Re: changing the layout


For CSS and HTML, you can simply paste the code into Notepad and save it.

For your custom language set, you can click on "File" then "Save" in your browser's toolbar.
