Stuck on "Redsy" Forum Theme
« on: March 23, 2020, 06:56:06 AM »
I was playing around with the different Forum themes/skins and when I tried out the "Redsy" theme, it did such a good job of removing clutter from the webpage that the entire right panel is gone.
I now have
  • no polls
  • no download lists
  • no quotes
but most critically...
  • No options panel for changing themes!!!
I think I'm stuck.
Unless there's some setting somewhere or an option to reveal a hidden panel, but I can't seem to find any.
Now, it's not a bad theme...but I don't like being stuck, and there's a general principal to be upheld here.

This also seems like the sort of thing that the Admins might want to know about...

Sorry 'bout that - I'm to blame for the other themes.  Draz put that one in, something about being phone-friendly?

It's so console-hostile that I can't even get into the .css code to put any features back.  Not a favorite, but I don't do these modern phones, and I'm sure the other themes look terrible on them...

Yeah, it looks like it just plain stops a bunch of elements from loading.
I would always get a small bit of text at the bottom of the screen saying something like "cannot load pramx_below"

I tried using Chrome's HTML inspect feature to see if I could un-hide the right panel, but found that it was simply entirely absent from the page.

I will say that the forums loaded very quickly and smoothly while on Redsy, though! 
But thanks for re-setting my theme.

My theme just changed, too. There are a couple of ways to change it back:

  • Under profile -> actions, choose "look and layout". The top option is to change the theme. (screenshot)
  • You can also add "?theme=1" to the end of the url to go back to the default theme. Or, if there is already a "?" in the url, add "&theme=1" instead.

Draz has added a Change Theme to the User Profile drop-down in Redsy.  Say thank you.

I don't recall the UP even being there before -I'm not stupid and should have been able to find a way out myself all the times I tried- you can also, as Jim illustrates, profile>Look and Layout>Current Theme>Change Theme, now.

Sorry about the right column features, but that's what Redsy's for - a simple phone theme - that nobody should get trapped in now.

FINALLY, I am satisfied with having Redsy in the theme lineup.  Thanks MaxPowah Draz.

The chief aim of their constitution and government is that, whenever public needs permit, all citizens should be free, so far as possible, to withdraw their time and energy from the service of the body, and devote themselves to the freedom and culture of the mind. For that, they think, is the real happiness of life.
