Hello everyone!

I hope you enjoyed our winter theme during our Snowy Days event. We reverted the default skin back to the ole standby: Deathly Hallows, but if you really loved that winter skin please feel free to change yours back! We have a small selection of skins and you are not required to use any one in particular (and you can change every day or every minute or whatever

).

For those who don't know there are two ways to change your skin (a skin, by the way, is the color/image scheme for the site):

1. Scroll to the very bottom of any page and look to your left. You'll see a pull-down menu. The current skin you are using will be displayed in that box (the current default is "New Deathly Hallows") and all you have to do is click on the down arrow to get a list of all available skins. Click on the skin you want and the page will refresh, revealing the skin of your choice.

2. Click on "User CP" at the top of any page. Then, go to "Edit Options". Scroll down to "Miscellaneous Options" and the second option should be "Forum Skin". Use that menu to choose whether you want to use the forum default (which is the default setting and will make the skin whatever we decide to make default) or any of the other specific skins. Click "Save Changes" at the very bottom of that page and you're all set!

Please note that if you change your skin to something other than "Use forum default" you will not experience some of the fun things we sometimes do to the default skin for various events or just to be random. Usually we only make changes to the default skin and not to any of the others.

We hope to provide more skin options in the future, but in the meantime, please enjoy those we do have!

Katieluff · 01-12-2009, 04:25 PM

yay for ss being orange again.

Thanks, Kris. :]

fire_faerie · 01-12-2009, 04:31 PM

Thanks! And hooray for SS being back to normal!! (Not that I didn't love the blue; I just really missed this one...)

Biochemkris · 01-12-2009, 04:31 PM

hehe You could have changed it back at any time.

Toshi Slughorn · 01-12-2009, 04:34 PM

I liked the Winter-Skin, but this is my favourite, I really love the brown colours!!!

cake.ninjak · 01-12-2009, 04:37 PM

There was a winter skin?! O_o

I never switched to that one. haha! I'll check it out! Thanks, Kris!

druidflower · 01-12-2009, 04:39 PM

I love when the look changes at the will of the mods.

I'm not being facetious or anything, it puts me in my place, which i can need sometimes. *deflates her head*

FoxFire · 01-12-2009, 04:40 PM

*changes skin back*

Wow. I was looking at the winter skin so long that I barely recognize the default

Like "are you suuure this is the default?"

This morning when I came on I had the light blue skin, then as I clicked on my inbox, it changed back to the tan skin right in front of my eyes. It was kind of like magic, really. (I'm too lazy to change skins, and just accept whatever is on the computer. But this was kinda neat!)

Wayfarer · 01-12-2009, 05:25 PM

Stills wants a house skin for every house not just the Slytherins. :pouts:

That's prolly cause you have something other than "Use Forum Default" selected (or you selected something custom from the bottom menu).

hehe The only reason Slytherins have one at all is because that was our skin when we first moved from IPB to vBulletin. But, never fear, we're always up to something.

**BanaBatGirl** · 01-12-2009, 08:01 PM

Imma go back to the winter blue cos...it's my favorite color?

I shall keep an eye out for changes to the default skin, though.

Oh, and with the winter skin...it's always Christmas.

Voldie just can't let go of his Santa hat, can he?

ZDARDSKY · 01-12-2009, 08:05 PM

*ish glad things are back to brown*
The winter was nice, but I don't think I liked it enough to switch back. XD

**Zellanna** · 01-12-2009, 08:45 PM

Dearies, the slytherin green one shows up weird on Safari (at work, so can't test with another browser). Everything is really far to the right except for the header and top menus.

EDIT: And the footers. The footers work.

Paint.the.Limelight · 01-12-2009, 09:27 PM

Cool....skins are awesome. Yay!!!

Egyptian_Blue · 01-12-2009, 09:42 PM

I love the skins. My usual one is Slytherin Green, although I do mix it up at times. Thank you!

HollyCullen · 01-12-2009, 10:10 PM

I use the death eaters skin

Echein · 01-12-2009, 10:12 PM

It makes my eyes feel better
the green was a little... Green..

EquestrianGal88 · 01-12-2009, 10:14 PM

Haha, everything is always out of whack on my screen, I have to scroll to see the entire page.
But I usually use the winter or death eater skin. I have the winter one right now. Thanks for all the other choices though!
