Please keep in mind rebuilding a site after a hack can be very time consuming and we are lucky it is functioning at all. kgg Edited January 29 by kgg Quote Juki DNU - 1541S, Juki DU - 1181N, Singer 29K - 71(1949), Chinese Patcher (Tinkers Delight), Warlock TSC-441, Techsew 2750 Pro, Consew DCS-S4 Skiver
Moderator Johanna Posted January 29 Moderator Report Posted January 29 Yep. I'll make some alternative themes. I just want to get everything else running properly first. Looks like the hacker tried to exploit the mailserver in the old adserver. I kinda like the integrated ads and the flexibility they have not to break the skin. Thanks @BlackDragon and holler if you see anything that needs attention. Quote You cannot depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus. - Mark Twain
Members Sheilajeanne Posted January 29 Members Report Posted January 29 We appreciate all your hard work, Johanna! Will let you know if I spot any problems. Quote
Members TonyV Posted January 29 Members Report Posted January 29 Hacked? I would be more concerned about our data security than the appearance. Just my 2 bits. Quote
Members Gezzer Posted January 29 Author Members Report Posted January 29 Well different strokes for different folks I guess ........ I like it better than the way it was . I have been on some forums that offer a few choices as to skins , backgrounds, and such . Quote
Members SUP Posted January 29 Members Report Posted January 29 I, for one, really don't care how it looks. Yes the earlier appearance was nice but after a hack, getting the site up again must have been a complicated job and it was done pretty promptly. I think @Johanna worked non-stop overnight to get it up and running again. So kudos to her and a big thank you. I am just glad it is up and running again. The rest will come.

Moderator Johanna Posted January 29 Moderator Report Posted January 29 Please repost. I think we both deleted the second post at the same time @fredk Quote You cannot depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus. - Mark Twain
Moderator Johanna Posted January 29 Moderator Report Posted January 29 I will make different themes and everyone can choose how they want to see the forum. Right now the server is still doing background clean up tasks and I'm still figuring out how all the new stuff works. When I'm sure all is stable and good I will make themes. Using this one, right now, eliminates a lot of variables while I'm looking at other things. I've been using different versions of this same software now for almost 20 years and themes are not a big deal. I'll make it to where you can click a drop down arrow and select whatever you like best. Quote You cannot depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus. - Mark Twain
Members DieselTech Posted January 29 Members Report Posted January 29 At 1 point I was able to toggle between the old theme leatherworker & the new theme leatherworker. But now it only let's me use the new theme. Quote
Moderator Johanna Posted January 29 Moderator Report Posted January 29 I had to shut off the old theme because it kept breaking the limits of the sizes things can be. I have to make a new one that works with the current version of this software. Quote You cannot depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus. - Mark Twain
