Only if it doesn't require a lot of work to fix it up for Cycling UK.

Do you have any preference? https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/styl ... les-12/3.3

Looks like subSilver will finally go. No longer supported for 3.3.

Very difficult to say. Also are they all responsive or only those claiming to be responsive (some don't say) - but an important aspect.

Ignoring whether they claim to be responsive, a quick scan
Black https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/style/black/ (dark theme)
Elegance https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/style/artodia_elegance2/ (looks like no dark theme)

But that's just a very quick scan of that list. Plus I've no idea about the authors (have they already disappeared or do they have a good track record of maintenance/updates/reliability?).

Is there any way of discovering what I have now which doesn't involve a screwdriver?

New board is up and running .................. and I'm not happy in the slightest.

Where is the Prosilver ....... or was it Subsilver2?
The basic system is the basic default system it used to be, and my preference was NOT to use it.
Very sad indeed.

I don't like it in the slightest and have to learn a whole new way of posting and quoting.

I just tried it and thought I’d never get out of it. Couldn’t read a thing.

Sorry, the Subsilver style is no longer supported. It had reached end-of-life many years back when it was replaced by Prosilver, but was kept alive for a few years for newer phpBB versions.

The Forum functionality is exactly the same. Only the look is different.

The new prosilver is different to the previous one, although the changes seem positive so far to me. Functionality improved, such as the "go to top" links working at last.

What is the new font? it's absolutely horrible.

Edit: apparently it's Lucida Grande. God knows why it was necessary to change it.

Dropdown from the "spanner button" next to the "post reply" at the bottom of the thread (is that what you were after?).
