Scroll down to Miscellaneous Options, and under Forum Skin using the drop down box select your preferred skin...

Under Miscellaneous Options, there is nothing that says "Forum Skin"; instead, there are 3 options under "Message Editor Interface" and 2 under "Enhanced Attachment Uploading."

That's what I used to do all the time, but that drop-down box no longer appears on my screen (that's what prompted my question).

What type of device, and what browser are you using?

Dell Inspiron laptop, Google Chrome.

I should add, in case it isn't obvious: this is far from an emergency, I don't want anyone blowing up their afternoon solving this, I can live with the color, I just thought I might've been missing something obvious.

Screenshot please.

Try it now

The dropdown isn't showing up for me either. And now the site has reverted to the ugly orange color. :arg:

Mine is dark but there is no dropdown to make the selection. Firefox desktop Windows 10 Pro 64-bit

Would you both prefer the Dark skin?

I prefer the dark.

At the bottom left of your screen, do any of you see the circled option?

It's there for me.

It's there now. :clap:

It always was.
I changed nothing. People just didn't scroll down enough.

The last few times I've come here, I was blocked by my anti-virus program, claiming Malware.
I worked around it, but it keeps popping up.

Same here

In your browser "whitelist" the site.
You will have to research how to do it for your specific browser.
It also could need addressing in your anti-virus software.

Glad to see the message boards back on...

I'm also thrilled to see the boards are up!

As am I.

Me too!

my chest was tight last night worrying with many ghosts. The site was one. I am today over my fever portion of first diagnosis of COVID and my sister may have had a stroke. Uncertainty can be deadly so good to be open again

Some spam going on in Michael's thread here: https://www.thedarktower.org/palaver...=1#post1277692

There is a lot of spam since a week or two.
Mostly in the collection threads.
I keep reporting like 4-5 a day

Any chance there is an option to block new members to post external links, if they dont have like... i dont know, 5 or 10 previous messages?

I'm a moderator on another fairly large message board with over 100,000 registered members. We do that exact thing over there. I think it's 10 posts before newbies can post links.

Is this a native vBulletin option, somewhere?

I'll look into a minimum post before links answer. I'll also talk to my son, who runs the server side to see if he can help. In the interim, I just keep deleting the posts and banning the person.
