Devs hate villains... forums

Anyone else have this problem? I've been using the red villain theme for the forums ever since we switched to the new forums. Aside from preferring the red over the blue, it also makes it easy to know when I get logged out with the forum bug because the boards become blue. Today when I logged in, the boards were still blue. At first I thought that it was the forum bug logging me out as soon as I logged in, but I saw my name in the upper right hand corner. I thought my options might have been reset, but they still say I'm using the "Villain" theme, but now the villains are blue, not red. Color me annoyed.

Oh, so it's not just me. Good.

Yep. I've been using the red villain theme since it was introduced, as I much prefer dark red over dark blue. Like you, when I noticed the forums were using the dark blue skin, I assumed that I had been logged out. Nope. So I checked my options, and it listed me as still using the "Villain" theme. Just to be on the safe side, I saved my options. Still blue.

The "style" should be part of our profile. So when we do login we get "villains" if we want automatically.

Same here. Can I have my red forums back please? If nothing else it makes it easier to see when I have been randomly logged out.

For those having problems: try switching to Hero, then back to Villain. I can switch to Villain just fine, so you may just need to switch to kick some bats out of the forum belfry.

How about using the quick change down in the bottom left?

Changing it via the control panel didn't work for me but the quick change thing did

OMG SO MUCH SIGNAL COLOUR EVERYWHERE!

How can you guys cope with that? I'm not criticising or anything, just amazed.

Hi everyone!

We're looking into this. For the time being, if the Quick Change drop-down works, then this is a good work-around.

Sorry for the inconvenience!

Wouldn't that take 8 days?

How come there's no Praetorian option?

Because Tyrant doesn't approve of options - the forums would have to either be the way they are now, or only available in Praetorian yellow.

That is actually a good point. I don't know how it would look in gold though.

I too think the forums look better in dark red, even though I play blueside more.

Because no-one wants to be blinded by the forums...

The weird thing is, now when I'm not logged in it still shows the red villain skin, but when I log in it goes back to the hero skin and I have to do the quick change to fix it again.

Ditto, even after me going into options and setting it from hero to villain again.
