So I was playing with the forum skin options, when I chose "Mobile." I appreciate its purpose, but don't ever want to see it again.

ISSUE:
I cannot change skins when current skin is Mobile, in my Fubar account.

I cannot locate any mention of skin changing, and it's not visible at bottom of "Options" in Control Panel, like it is with all other skins.

I get a pesky error (Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing or mismatched) every time I try to contact admins via PM, in-site webmail or actual forum post.

In desperation, I created this second forum account for the purpose of contacting admins for assist, and so I can read the forum with formatting and color (which Mobile skin does not have, for obvious reasons).

FUBAR = Forum account username with the unchangable Mobile skin.

Can ya'll help me out with changing from Mobile skin to any other skin in my Fubar account?

Thanks oodles,
-Fubar

Hello, go into your Forums USER CP and you can change your default skin there. :) Let us know if you need any more help.

As mentioned above, I am unable to locate the change-skin area under Options in Control Panel, which is the same location it's visible in with all other skins.

Attached is screenshot of what I do see in Control Panel Options.

Surely I'm just looking in the wrong spot in Control Panel?

Thanks much!

I'm beginning to think my original "Fubar" account is possessed, and nothing short of an exorcist will make it behave.

Logging back in as Fubar, going to Control Panel, then to Options, I see the following groups of choices, which appear identical to the previous screenshot:

- Login & Privacy
- Messages & Notification
- Visible Post Elements
- Thread Display Mode

Interestingly, it appears that any options using a pop-down menu are not available in the Mobile skin. This includes time zone changes, in addition to skin changes. Don't know if that's helpful to you or not.

I know you have waaaaaaaaaaaaay more important things to do than mess with this thing.

If you need to move on, I would certainly understand. I'll just copy my info over from Fubar to GoodbyeDell, then retire the Fubar account.

Thanks much!
