I've been away for a day or two and the site looks completely different. The background is white and no chat box. I don't see any messages about a change being made either anywhere. Are we under construction maybe? Sorry if I missed it but I've been searching around. I hope I can turn it back to the black background

Never mind. I think it was just my phone. Whew. I did not like that set up at all. Got it sorted now. Carry on. I'm a dope. Lol

Well, I don't know then. Honestly I didn't see a change on my iphone 6.

You just have to click "desktop site" or similar at the bottom of the page.
I read they upgraded the servers yesterday or the day before, maybe that's the cause of the change

Same here - happened last night. Clicked on full site or something along those lines after selecting the menue on the top right and it brought me right back to the normal view.

Yes. That's exactly what I did. I finally scrolled down and saw a box that said "view whole site". I clicked on that and it went back to normal. Thank goodness.

im not sure what caused the change. all your setting are saved under your username. the board is actually quite customizable. I turned off the chatbox so that page would load faster and I was surprised when I saw all the settings you can adjust.

The only time I ever see the desktop site is when registering at a new forum. 99% of my browsing is done through the mobile Tapatalk app...the older, non-shtty version. I turn off avatars, sigs, and all the garbage and just read the posts/look at the pics!
