Theme Selection

[James Woodcock]

2 questions for the clever bods here regarding SMF 1.1 beta 3.......

1) Why is it when you alter a particular board to use a different theme, Admins do not see the change, but other users do?  Is this a bug?

2) I would like to using a hyperlink from another site select a particular theme for members to use other then the default.  So for example: http://www.website.com/index.php?theme=2

Now if I do that will it mean they always stay with that theme when they are browsing, or will it at some point switch back to the default?

Many thanks

Question 1- No idea.

Question 2- It seems to keep the specific theme on just fine for me

Actually, this works fine for me. Have you checked 'Override Member's Theme' for the board you want to use a different theme for?

2) I would like to using a hyperlink from another site select a particular theme for members to use other then the default.  So for example: http://www.website.com/index.php?theme=2

It will not switch back untill the browserwindows is closed and reopened again.

I believe there is a difference between selecting the forum's default theme, and selecting the actual default theme. If you uncheck override, with the forum's default theme you will see the board's particular theme, but if you have selected the actual default theme, you won't (i think).
