Hello everyone.

Just a quick question to help get me started on a forum as I'm a bit stuck. I go to theme library and for example install the Minimal theme and check it to default. it's on autosave but every time I click back to the forum home page it's still on the original layout, my chosen theme isn't showing?

Hello.

Your account is probably still on the previous theme. If you have more than one theme installed, simply installing another theme will not automatically change the theme your account is on, unless all other themes are disabled. Go to Profile -> Edit Profile -> Settings (tab) and scroll down to the Forum Theme option. Select the theme you desire to use from the dropdown then scroll to the bottom and click the Save Account Settings button to save your changes.

When you make a theme a default theme, this is simply the theme guests and new members see. Members can change the theme they use by editing their own profile as above.

Absolutely superb, thank you so much!
