there is no difference
i have the board configuration set to override whatever users choose since this is a better theme for this particular board.
the subsilver one is the default and unfortunately there isn't a way to disable the ability to select in the user profile, otherwise you'd never even know it existed here.

Another forum question
Yet another question about the forums...
Why is it that if i log in and there is a new post, but i don't read it, and log out, it disapears? Is there a way to change this?
I need my red dots, i'm lost without them

I would like to see subSilver reactivated, and maybe a few more themes added. Personally, I think Chronicles looks like butt.
As far as all forums being marked as read as soon as you log in, phpBB just keeps track of the last time you logged in. All posts that were posted after the last time you logged in are considered to be "new". Not keeping track of when you last viewed each forum or individual post saves space and keeps things simple. That said, the "feature" bothers me too. I'd like to see it handled on at least a forum basis. But until they add it to phpBB, it's unlikely that we will see it here.

when has your opinion ever meant anything to me?Scavenger wrote:I would like to see subSilver reactivated, and maybe a few more themes added. Personally, I think Chronicles looks like butt.
actually, the real reason is that i don't really have the time to set them up properly - or make one of my own - so this'll have to do.
as far as my experience goes, most of the available BBSs behave this way. one more thing to note is that if you stay logged in and are inactive for a while, the new posts are no longer new... (i.e. leave this window alone in the background and do something else for 15 minutes or so)As far as all forums being marked as read as soon as you log in, phpBB just keeps track of the last time you logged in.

and finally...there IS a preview button - i'm using it now as i post this...

Whenever I check out the forums, I just look at the dates of the newer posts to determine whether I have read them or not. If they were posted that day or the day before, then I know there is a chance that I have yet to read them.
