We made some tweaks to the default theme here on MSF (Responsive Blue) to simplify the display. Please let us know of any glitches you encounter. Thank you!

I'm not good at computer talk, so maybe someone can explain "default theme"? I know what tweak means. Thank you.

All good my side on iPhone.

I think it means basically how the text is usually displayed.

I notice things look a bit different (iPhone user) one nice addition is that in my subscribed threads I can now see who the last user to post was. No issues so far for me.

Default is the setting that comes up if you don’t choose to personalize your settings. Like I have msf set on sand dessert theme. But recently somehow I was logged out so when I logged on it was the blue default theme and I had to choose my preferred theme to go back to sand colored background. Default, It’s what everyone sees unless they choose a different theme.

Haha, I logged in today and was like "um, this looks...different...or have I finally gone round the bend?"

Thanks for letting us know!

I've never changed what there was when I was new, so I don't know other kinds of things you guys are seeing. The things I noticed different today is that I see a person's avatar before I click to see what they are saying, even when I'm observing a list of threads, all of them have the avatar that belongs to the user name underneath the thread name. I might be saying this in a confusing way, because I don't talk to computer people enough to know the language. I'm a loner, & on a cell phone. Anyway, thank you!

I know what you mean. It's similar on desktop. I use the default theme as well.

I noticed it suddenly looked a lot bigger on my phone, i thought it was my phone screwing with me again

thanks for letting us know

i think its the theme the forum automatically does

unless i'm talking complete crap again

[Breaking Dawn]

ok @willowtigger, that fits with what I'm sort of concluding.

I like the fact the words are bigger when im looking in my control panel thing, easier to open them on my phone without posting in the wrong place by accident

I cant tell now if a thread is okay to post in, or if its locked? Not sure if thats a error

Dont know if this threads locked but its letting me type in the white box ?

Down below the last post, the orange colored thing that looks like a bandaid, it usually says "Reply". When the thread is closed, it says thread closed, instead of Reply.

I mean before i open a thread, normally if its locked theres a padlock thing, its not been there since the upgrade thing, not sure if it got removed

Oh! Ok. I don't remember seeing the padlock before I go into the thread. I'll look for that.

its not there on either my phone or my laptop, maybe it got taken away, idk

I'm on a desktop and use Black Smart, which is easiest on my eyes. Nothing looks any different for me.

[Breaking Dawn]

I look forward to getting a smart phone or a computer (laptop?), so I can see the things that maybe I'm not seeing right now?

*Gives breaking my older laptop*

[DocJohn]

The icons showing a thread is closed to new replies (or popular, or other statuses) were indeed removed on the default theme. That information isn't relevant to reading a thread, and the thread itself tells you whether it's closed or not when reading it.

These changes were only made to the default theme. We do not make updates or changes to the older, unsupported themes any longer.

You are so sweet! I can afford a laptop. My problem is not knowing enough to decide what to buy, etc. I will get these things when I'm ready. Thank you, willowtigger for being such a wonderful friend for all of us.

i'll find which seller it was that i got my older one off of, if you want? idk if he sells them where you are though

[DocJohn]

Folks, please feel free to PM one another about the laptop issue; this thread is for discussion of tweaks to the default theme in the forums. Thank you!

[Breaking Dawn]

I'm sorry, DocJohn. I wasn't thinking about what thread I was on.
