Looks perfect. Thanks. I wasn't aware I wasn't using the default theme.
You're welcome. If you ever want to change themes, even if only temporarily to see what they look like, you can click on the "Welcome back, chuck" link top-left of page, then in the drop-down menu that appears click "Edit Options", and on the page that loads, under "Other Options" bottom-right of the page, select the "Board Style" that you want, and then click "Update Options".

Quick question: is anybody still accessing these Psience Quest forums using Tapatalk? If so, is accessing the forums using the default web interface with the (now default) Roundo skin an acceptable alternative?

I ask because I'd like to uninstall the Tapatalk plugin: it interferes with error reporting, and it consists in a lot of third-party code which increases security risks. There were also reports a while back that Tapatalk as a forum platform had been less than ethical in its treatment of the preexisting board owners when it took over other forum platforms. I don't know whether that issue was ever resolved to everybody's satisfaction, but it makes me less inclined to think we should support them.

Last time I tried using Tapatalk for the forums, the forums weren't listed on Tapatalk. Not sure if it was broken or what. I just know that I hadn't tried since.

Interesting. I know that Ian (@Ninshub) has been able to access the forums via Tapatalk recently, so I don't know why they weren't listed for you (Ian has told me that the Roundo skin, which he hadn't known about, works even better than Tapatalk, and given that Tapatalk forces ads on visitors, he supports its removal).

I've just tried for the first time in years, and I also couldn't find our listing on Tapatalk. I guess Ian is able to access it only because he's already subscribed.

That's another reason to ditch the plugin: nobody can find us through it anyway.

In the absence of objection after a week, I've uninstalled the Tapatalk plugin.

Now, error reporting is working as usual, so there have been a bunch of visible warnings that I've since been fixing. There are probably more to fix, so don't be alarmed or puzzled if you do see some top of page, but if you continue to see the same ones, let me know, because I've probably missed those ones.
