I've hacked in a "View New Content" button to the light skin so iPhone and Mobile Phone users should be able to click it now.

I'll also start working on bringing some of the Trooper heads back as well as the group icons and so forth.

Also will be looking into removing a lot of that extra data under our names on each post.

Heya Greg, the skin tweaking is looking good :)

I am quite fond of the black/green combo, it's very striking :D

but just on what I was saying before...as an avid reader of TAG on my mobile each day, this is how it dispalys:

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y241/_Master-Skywalker_/phone.jpg

It's VERY painful to read like that, it didn't used to be like that before the web changes. Is there anything that you can do about it so it reads like it used to( a proper web site) ?

Just one other thing also- the "View new content" only lets you view new content since last you were there, with the view new posts option it had the drop down box so you could choose new posts for a day, a week a month etc.... I liked the way that worked if it's possible to do anything with that.

Thanks for all the hours you put into the TAG website, I know it must take a lot of time & I'm sure we all appreciate it :D

You should try to view the forum using the "Lite" skin, the normal skin is really meanr for PC usage.

As for the "View New Content", yeah I'm still catching up with the 3.0 learning curve from an Admin angle myself. A lot of new changes. It's like learning to ride a bike again.

In your profile section you can set what type of content comes up when you click "View new content" You can select new content since last visit, or all unread posts which will bring up all new stuff, plus everything you have not yet read.

thanks Troy I think that is better :)

and Greg, I might have to do that, but it's really very text based & hard to tell one post from another without the pics in it ;)

It won't let me change it back now. The drop down box only has the lo fi option now.

(not just on my mobile either, my PC is stuck with this skin now too. Grrrrr)

The TAG 10 or 20 doesn't appear & yes I have deleted my cookies. I've gone through all the settings, can you please reset my profile or something ? I don't think I'll be choosing lo fi again !

There is only Lofi, TAG2010, KFS, and SDS skins.

You should be able to change the skin for the Lofi back by scrolling to the bottom, selecting TAG2010 and click GO.

Well first, you should be signed in to your account on the phone, I notice the options don't play friendly in that mode.

But when you're in Lite mode, your only option is to select the "Click here to manually choose a theme"

I've fixed your skin preferences Shiney. As for PM'ing, no, there is not function for that on the "lite" skin. Remember.....it's lite, not "Full".

Anywho, regarding the Lite Skin, this is what I see on the iPhone.

Click the images below for a larger version

When viewing as Normal, this is the skin drop down at the very bottom left.

Most people should see this option saying "Click here to manually choose a theme"

Number of downloads: 4


After choosing a theme, you might see a skin drop down afterwards.

Some of said they can only see one skin on the drop down list. I've noticed this as well, a bit quirky I say.

Hey Greg, how is the skin tweaking going? When can we expect the user ID buttons to return for Recruits, Cadets and some of the other missing rolls?
