If Your Bored Format Is Messed Up, Post HERE!

Especially if you are using "prosilver", which has been reduced to a crummy text format without many of the necessary links at the top of the Bored. I will switch you to the fisubsilver2 interface if you're unable to do so yourself (And you can pick whatever interface you wish after that.... just NOT prosilver2!)

You can also try clicking this link, which should take you to a page where you can access Bored Preferences and pick a working interface...

Getaway Blue is working fine and it has the avatars and user info on the left (where it belongs).

I believe that whenever I first switched off of Subsilver2, or some successor to it, GB was the closest match.

Mine had been messed up for the past 2 or 3 days, but when I tried it late tonight, it looks back to normal. If you did anything to fix mine, thanks! If not, then maybe it fixed itself? From Day 1, 9+ years ago, I have intentionally never set any bored preferences and I've been barely aware that they exist. As far as I know, I have always had the original bored default, whatever that was during the Bush 43 era. So the Trump era had a rough start, but I think you've made the bored great again.

There were three themes affected (prosilver, subsilver2 and Getaway Blue) and I just fixed them a few minutes ago. Everyone should be good now.

When this Bored came online in late 2007, we were using phpBB version 2 (forum software) and the only theme installed was the default one that came with the software: subsilver, which is the same thing as the subsilver2 theme available now. When I upgraded us to phpbb version 3 a year or so later, there were now two built-in themes, and the software automatically defaulted everyone to the other theme, which is prosilver. I had meant to switch that default setting before importing everyone's accounts so that it would look the same as before, but I forgot. All new accounts since then have defaulted to subsilver2 (and it's the theme you see when you're not logged in) but some of you started with prosilver, and just stuck with it.

Anyway, I think everything should be back to normal now.
