Stuck with changing skins from gamingheaven theme!

Bo_Fox · Aug 20, 2010, 07:18 PM

Help! I went through all the skins from the default HardwareHeaven one to Dead Space, then Spore, which were breathtaking!!! It's the best website art I've seen anywhere, hands down!

But when I changed to GamingHeaven skin, the skin chooser disappeared and I can no longer find it...

I also tried changing it in UserCP / Edit Options, but it does not work! The only way for me to go back to original skin is to completely log out, but if I log back in, it goes back to GamingHeaven.

Yeah I just did it too, and changing it from the user control panel didn't do anything. However I had lucked out, and opened an article in a tab prior to changing it, so I was able to revert it via the skin changer in that tab. After some testing around it turns out that the Gaming Heaven skin is just really resilient, and refuses to be changed once enabled. I'm sure it'll be working properly soon enough though, so for now just enjoy that theme.

Oh man!

The rest of you guys, if you don't wanna be stuck, be warned then!!!

So I probably should:

NOTE: open a new tab of HH prior to testing this out.

to prevent further people getting stuck with it. You can then use the tab to revert it.

Ok, I'm sorry I missed this thread when it got moved here.

GH should not have been an option on the skin selector, and has since been removed. For those of you stuck on the GH skin use the following link:

http://www.hardwareheaven.com/forum.php?styleid=91

When using the quick selector the value is stored as a cookie, which is why the USERCP option had no impact, because the cookie overrules it.

Clearing cookies would have the same effect as the link above.

Thanks and again apologies for not seeing this topic sooner!
