Forum theme for guests

Hi all!

I prefer a light background with dark foreground for my forums, and use the prosilver theme when I am logged in. But, I also view the forums from different devices where I am not logged in, and they always default to the blue on black theme. So I googled a bit and found that people not logged in, can also change the theme of viewing on the url for phpbb.

Try

Code: Select all

https://theskysearchers.com/?style=1
or
https://theskysearchers.com/index.php?style=1
when not logged in. You can bookmark these to keep using them.
You can also change the style numbers to try out different themes.

There are some posts on the web, of this not working on some phpbb versions, so it is possible that an upgrade will change this behavior, but there will probably be settings for admins to keep this working.

We are about to get a major software upgrade, will check and see if these methods still works after the upgrade. Thanks for posting this.

Cheers,

When you first come onto the site (portal page, not logged in) on the left side part way down is a theme selector tab as well.
