    Thanks again, Mike D88! Your script is the reason why I still come back here...

    It's all good now actually. I uninstalled and reinstalled the script and everything works perfectly.

    Much thanks.

    Recent updates to the board have broken these scripts. Since 10C is addressing the concerns the scripts were meant to resolve, I don't think I'll be updating them going forward.

    I recommend anyone who was using a script to disable or uninstall it.

    Oh ma-a-a-a-a-an! That's a HUGE bummer! I very much like the legacy script- it's such a GREAT layout and worked very, very well here. I still have it running, flawed or not and will do so as long as possible. After that... maybe time to go bye bye!

    In any case, Mike D88, you're awesome, you rock, and thank you for work par excellence!

    So far the script is the same as always and way way way way better than what 10C is doing! I'll also keep using it for as long as it's better than the actual forum... could be a while, lol.
    Thanks for all your work Mike!!!!!! :)

    Update: the lights down feature doesn't even work for me UNLESS I'm using Mike's script. If I disable the script nothing happens with Lights Down, and that fucking sidebar is still there.

    What's the secret. PJ_Soul? My script is screwed up. And the "new" forum format looks as bad as ever. I really don't wanna go away AGAIN but she-e-e-e-it, this is frustrating!

    I disabled Greasemonkey, cleared my cache, deleted cookies, logged out, etc. and still couldn't see any difference in the forum. I'm still using the old script and it's working great.

    My script started acting funny yesterday, so I disabled and saw the changes tc made. I switched back and forth, but the script look never came back :(

    I guess I will try to get used to the new forum look now. My biggest problem is with the teal, so that is not a biggie.

    Thanks for sharing the script with us, Mike!

    The Script started working funny for me yesterday (probably due to incompatibilities with some of the forum updates). It's a bit glitchy but still working today.

    I think it would be a shame to abandon it. It's not only the colors of the new forum that are bad. There's so much info on the screen that the subject line when viewing the forum makes up 1/3 of the page. This classic script simplifies it. When you are perusing a forum all you see are the subject lines. None of the extra junk on the sides.....

    Hopefully the creator changes their minds and continues to update the script. I really do like it.

    No Secret, lol. I had to disable greasemonkey just to see that the forum had any changes. The script I've been using (not the same one as you Brian - I've been using the lighter grey coloured version instead of the one that looks like the old 10C forum; maybe try that script instead) works just fine. Not glitchy at all. Maybe a button or two in a slightly off location, but that's it.

    Anyway, the forum fixes looked a lot better, but that fucking side bar on every page is awful. They really need to get rid of that. No idea why they are still clinging to it. Makes a huge negative difference, because actually it looks like 10C actuall copied Mike's more plain script version, but left in the side bar. But not having that with the greasemonkey script makes all the difference.

    Yeah, it still kind of works but not so well. It's a lot to ask for Mike D88 to fix it again so at this point I'm just keeping my fingers crossed and hope for the best and say- yet again- how awesome it is that he did it in the first place.

    I'll admit that my eyes were dealt the genetic whammy at age 7, so maybe i can blame this on my daddy (miss you), but I cannot figure out what the hell the light switch is supposed to do. I've been flicking it on and off (up and down) till i see double and i can't tell the difference. Oblivious! Help!
