I couldn't find where to change the theme. I'm not a fan of the dark mode, so was lookign to see if I could change it to a lighter option.

Yes Hackers do suck!
If you have that many websites to deal with wow.
Try to take a little break for Christmas. It will all still be here when you get back.
Thanks so much for providing this little respite.

To change styles click on your user name/user control panel/board preferences/my board style. There are eight choices.

If none of those suite your fancy, then go to https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/styl ... _styles-12. This is a repository of available board styles. Pick one and let me know what it is and I will download and install it. If it is popular then I will modify it with the logo.

We also lost the “Return to Doc’s Basement” link at the bottom of threads.

Well.......... :wings
I'm just happy that the Camp Director worked so hard on this site right before Christmas and got it up and running again!! :Clap :Clap

Hopefully him & the Misses can take some much needed time off now and enjoy Christmas without the forum disturbing their Holiday.

Looking good so far. Thanks for your work.
While you're rebuilding... Maybe, just maybe can you turn on the switch so that when I open a thread it goes to the last unread post?
At this time and it was before, Either go to last post or first post. That makes for a bunch of scroll work on long threads.
Thank you.
I luv puppies. All kinds. Sweater are my most luv'd.

Also attachments are now limited to 256kb, used to be 1mb. Probably a default in the new software?

p.s. to state the obvious leave this until after you’ve had a break :thumb
