Mobile-Formatted Forum toggle
The other day, I clicked a link that caused my on-screen format to change. Now, I am using what appears to a mobile format. Much less graphic in its nature. Unfortunately, this format is on my office desktop. My mobile is still showing all the graphics. Once in the mobile forum format I have been unable to find the "key" to toggle back to the tradional format on my desktop machine. Help? Anyone?
Thanks, Pat

On your desktop, click on this link:

This will temporary set your desktop to C4 theme.
Now, go into your UserCP section, Edit Options:
http://forums.corvetteforum.com/prof...do=editoptions
Scroll down to the "Forum Skin" option, which is the last option, and set to the theme you wish to have on your desktop.
Now, if you visit CF with your mobile, simply use the bottom left drop-down menu to change the theme for your mobile.
Here's the deal. When you make the change in your USERCP, as I described above, it becomes the default on your account. So if you go to any machine and log in, you will have whatever you theme/skin you selected in your USERCP.
When you use the bottom left drop-down menu, it is temporarily assigned to your device via cookies. It will not change your desktop as it's assigned per device via cookies.
I would actually recommend you simply bookmark one of the following on your mobile device:

or
http://forums.corvetteforum.com/index.php?styleid=124 (Mobile Style)
That way, whenever you visit with your mobile device, via the link above, you will automatically get the mobile version. Whenever you visit with the desktop, by default, you will see whatever you selected in the steps outlined above.
