forum skin

I just went to change my skin back to S8 in Edit Options, and instead of the drop-down menu saying "Use forum default," it actually had the "Buffy 10th Anniversary" skin selected. On the other occasions, it has jumped back to "Use forum default," so this was new.

I think I'm seeing a pattern here.

Supposedly when you use the skin chooser on a page rather than in Edit Options, it does not permanently change your skin choice under your options, correct?

Well, I was using the skin chooser outside Edit Options, selected a random skin, and when I went into Edit Options my permanent skin choice had been changed to that one. So I'm thinking that somehow our permanent skin choices are being changed to match the forum default (or whatever skin is chosen temporarily from the drop-down on the bottom of the screen) for some reason.

Hope that makes sense. Thinking with my fingers again.
 
No, the reason this started happening is because we've changed it so that selecting the skin from the drop down DOES change it in Edit Options. So that we can get an accurate count of who's using which style.
 
Oooh, okay. Well, regardless, it still fits with my theory that maybe somehow the forum defaults that override our choices are permanently changing our choices in Edit Options. Just a thought. 🙂
 
I don't mean to be argumentative. I'm not sure I'm explaining myself correctly or something.

Are you saying that, no matter what skin we choose under Edit Options, once we go somewhere where the forum default overrides our choice, it is changed under Edit Options even though that's not the skin we want? So no matter how many times I choose the S8 skin, it's going to be changed to an overriding forum default permanently until I go change it back to S8?

I still don't think I'm forming my thoughts properly....
 
When you choose a style from the drop down at the bottom left of the page, it also changes it in Edit Options.

The forum default is not overriding any of the forums styles. Only The Wishverse and The School have dedicated styles.

I'm not having any problems, but it's a known issue with the modification that some people have problems with random skin switching.

Okie doke. :-) Thanks for putting up with me.
I still get the forum default wether or not i go into edit options change the skin save it,or change in the user control panel or not.
It is starting to get on my nerves a bit, my choice is salvage, and i get this problem whenever i log out go back in the next day!

So Buffy Summers i will be very gratefull when you can sort ot out for us!
 
Mine stopped doing it right after I had chimed in on this thread. I was using MSIE when it appeared to be fixed, and now I'm using Firefox and have never had a problem again.
 
Ive just got this problem. I have remember me on so it doesnt log me out but when I came on this morning it was the default skin.
 
I'm having the skin-switching problem now, and not in a body snatchers kinda way. Since I logged on today I've had three different skins randomly appear so far.

Not a major problem because it's kinda cool seeing skins I've never checked out before but I thought I'd mention it was happening in case it's part of a bigger board issue.

On Internet Explorer, by the way.
 
It's not a problem with the board, there's something wrong in the modification. There's nothing that can be done about it except remove it or wait for the person who wrote the mod to fix it.
 
So far it's not been happening since I logged back in as RockManic yesterday. Don't know if it's stopped or if I've just got lucky up to now but so far so good.
 
I have tried doing everything stated. I am using IE. I want the Wish, I tried drop down, logging in and out thing, everything. But I keep getting serenity. 🙁 I am very sad. It will sometimes stay the wish until I log out, then change back to serenity when I log back in. But sometimes even when logged in, it will change when switching threads. So I dunno.
 
It's a problem with the modification, as I said. There's nothing to be done about it.
