Are my eye's deceiving me or is there a new look to the forum? :eek: Also in the 'forums' heading at the top of the page "Recent Posts" no longer appears as an option, would it be possible to have it back please.:)

Do you mean "XenBase 1.3.4"?

Recent Posts only shows up for me once you have gone to the New posts page

At last! I was clicking on bloody everything :-doh

So what caused that style change? Was it just me (and a few others) being muppets, or are there "dark forces" at work here????

Not sure, but one of the databases was corrupted and Chris had to repair it, so perhaps a couple of settings were lost for some people.

The menus are still different for me.
Maybe a case of everything-has-been-reset-to-defaults.
But irritating nevertheless.

At least I hope it's not one of those "we've update the software to version XXX, sporting the latest *improved* UI that our chief designer thinks is the dogs b*llocks, but will annoy 97% of the installed user base, sod-them-all." (Windows 8, anyone?)

Have you changed the theme from XenBase back to Default Style at the bottom of the page? It shouldn't be any different to before.
