I hope you didn't have to cut too many trees down to get the nice wood for this site

The Nullabor was a forest once.

Having trouble retaining the WWF skin its there when web browser opens but not when I have signed in reverts to Neils Dark.

I have been into user CP and selected the WWF etc about 3 or 4 times now each time I return I have to change it again.

Any ideas would be great full

Try changing it via the Quick Style Chooser at the bottom left of every page Wheelin

Ps, when you've finish browsing, don't log out, and make sure you tick the Remember Me box when you sign in as well.

Computers can Remember Me thats scary

Still like 'Neils Dark' from all the new skins. I find the guide lines are a great help.

The new skins are great, I like the wwf one myself

Ok have done everything including "Remember Me" even saved in "User CP".
The WWF style is there when I start up prior signing in but once signed in reverts to Neil's Dark.

I did notice when in the Friday Drivel last it retained in that room only

Wheelin, I have checked your User CP settings, it was saved as Neil's Dark and have reset it to wwf.

Were you saving the settings after you changed the choice to wwf? Anyway it should be set now to stay with wwf

Hmm..Can't say I like the red in the wwf font but the rest is good

Something for all to check if there's a problem holding a skin.

As you'll see below there are 3 registered and live forum names. Take note of the address you log in with and if the skin changes look at the address again, you may see a different forum name. This being the case pick the skin again and it should stay that way in both. You will never see the .com.au forum name unless you log in with it. The other 2 often interchange because this is the way they originally were and the way search engines view some of the older posts.

Below are the 3 live forums:

http://www.woodworkforums.com - This is the main forum address. Averaging around 17.5 million hits a month. This is the one we try to keep as the only one because it's searched by most of the search engines etc and .com is more widely recognised by all other types of info gathering and stats programs worldwide than .com.au which isn't recognised at all by many statistics keepers etc.

http://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com.au/ - This was our original address and strangely enough still gets between 9.5 & 11 million hits a month but these doesn't show on most statistic collectors

http://www.woodworkforums.com.au We have this for the patriotic Aussie bit and to stop anyone eles from registering it and playing off our name and rep. Averages few thousand hits a month. Do a Google Search for it and you'l be asked if you mean woodworkforums.com

Hope this might help clear up some of the problem.

Oh yeah some forums have their own particular colour eg Open Slather (the orange room) is as you would expect, orange. Cheers - Neil

DJ thanks ok this morning.

I had changed it in user CP and saved it twice prior posting this.

Again Thanks

OK; now we've identified at least two of the culprits (including me!). Thank Goodness for "Remember Me" to span the forums.
