Whe does the website look so crap when you are logged out and browsing the forums?

Is it to stop trolls joining?

"BigBlue" is the (better) default skin.

Yes it is, it fixes lots of annoying bugs and is quicker and easier to use. But it is a bit of a shock to the system if you've been using PH classic all these years.

One of the key ones is that the menus on PH classic don't work until the entire page has finished loading. That is not something we can fix as it is due to the way Javascript works, but big blue solves the problem.

Is it not possible to make BB look more like PH Classic? Best of both worlds?

It's not really that different as it is though.

Now the "Smiley" skin, that's a shocker!

It looks minging on the blackberry. It's the clickable headings at the top of "classic" (pistonheads>Gassing Station>General Gassing>Website Feedback for example) that get lost in big blue. I use those links alot as they don't appear at the bottom on PH mobile, I have to hit "T" to take me to the top of the page. Maybe if "BB" lost the blue banner containing the links, so they were on plain white it would make a difference?

I have tried "BB" but I didn't get on with it.

Smiley hehe It just reduces the useable size of your screen. I can't see the advantage in using it. The links down the side are quickly available in the other skins anyway. Then you could call it "Big white" paperbag

I don't have a blackberry here for testing, how do they get lost? Most phones seem to cope better with BB than PH Classic. Is it possible for you to post a screenshot?

Nothing much to add, but Big Blue's a bit of a shocker isn't it. Though saying that, I am rather stuck in my ways.

I'll have a go tomorrow for you. smile it's basically the blue writing on a white background stands out far more than the writing in the blue banner.
