How to choose the thin ( slim ) layout

Hello,

I really don't like the new design of the minibb and I'd like to change it to the classic thin design. The homepage states: "...Apply the 'thin' version as presented on our demo forums...". How the heck do I do it? I tried searching the forum, but couldn't find the answer... Maybe I'm stupid, maybe I'm missing it, but I really couldn't find how to switch to the classic thin design of minibb.

Thank you,
hrd

From the demo forums you just need to take older forums style CSS (right mouse click on the link - Save Target as..., it's called by us the "Integrity skin"), copy it to your miniBB folder, apply it modifying $skin='old' under setup_options.php, and under the same file set $startPageModern=FALSE;

You will need to modify CSS to make colors matching your website.

Then download "classic" forums header file in the old mini style and replace it to the current one (located under templates/main_header.html folder). Of course, later you will need to adjust it a bit to your own forums, maybe putting forums logo, modifying other HTML parts etc. It's your own task.

This will fully revert you to the older layout.

Good luck!
