Default Work-Appropriate Theme

Just wondering if there is an easy way to have a less conspicous theme we could choose for when we are at work.

Something that just looked (well, not as good), but boring and plain.


Would help I think so that the boss and coworkers wouldn't always wonder why I look at that RED & YELLOW-barred screen all the time.

Just a thought. I recall (I believe) on the old software we could just go to basic mode, or something ....

If you click the archive link at the bottom right it will take you to a very plain version of the forums. If the stuff is out of order look for a "PDA" link at the top right.

Can't reply using that method, but you can read.

It's in my long term plans to do a work safe type theme as well as a mobile theme, though the ads might defeat the effectiveness of a work safe theme.

The biggest problem with the Archive view is it puts the threads into numerical order; starting with the oldest.

So it doesn't show what has new posts, etc.

One tip I can offer, when replying to a thread I compose my post in Notepad, then copy/paste it over to the forum.

Ha! I thought I was the only one that did that.


What would be really cool is if the template was super drab and bleary, and (instead of the CP logo up top) there was a "Programming Language Help Boards" logo in big, brown, boring letters.

If you click that PDA link though it should put them in the right order, at least it does for me.
