Such a lot of negativity. People have been moaning for the longest time, and yet when they finally attempt to do something, they continue to moan. .
It's your national pastime. Jp |

It's always the same whenever DS makes any kind of update. If DS members had anything to do with it, we would all still be watching B&W TV, and using snail mail and brick mobile phones.
![]() It was identical to this: http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=237 The expert programmers that made this forum software (named vBulletin 3.8) left the company and from what I've read, they employed a group of amateurs to take their place. The result was vBulletin 5 which Digital Spy is now using. It has received comprehensive bad reviews everywhere (not just at DS). https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/www.vbulletin.com But change for change's sake (which was the case here) is worthy of criticism. |

I just installed this and it only shows avatars. The look of the forum remains unchanged
![]() Once your on this site type in "Digital Spy" into the search engine [top left of page] and when another page loads up you'll see the various colour skins you can choose from. Hope this helps. |

The forum software before this one was the best... and I'm not just saying that.

DS is not using VB5 now it's using a skinned version of VB3. I don't think the software has ever been upgraded.

What's your guess here James, is the new set-up likely to be vastly different to this current one?. [e.g. much better?]

I predict Vanilla Forums Cloud - so a totally different platform.

Would you be happy with that if it's that we end up with. [in other words how is it rated?]
Re: Vanilla it depends how they skin it - out of the box the theme might upset the Apple cart here. However the software itself is meant to be very good. |

I'm happy with any new platform, as long as it's not vBulletin - the version 5 is monstrous.

To change the colour of the forum pages you have to use another website [it's called Stylish] here is a link for the website. >>http://bit.ly/1jstejU<<
Once your on this site type in "Digital Spy" into the search engine [top left of page] and when another page loads up you'll see the various colour skins you can choose from. Hope this helps. Edit: ok just installed. Still a bit much space on the sides but it looks a bit better IMO. |

I don't click bit.ly links. I searched for Stylish and found Userstyles.org, I assume that's the site your link goes to? If so then thanks, I'll check it out.
I've been using bit.ly to shorten my links for years to probably thousands of people on email and forums and your the first ever to give a feedback that you don't like using it.

Hi DS Mods I recently posted a request on the "Contact Digital Spy" forum and I can't seem to find it anymore? My account was accepted but I have no idea if I am allowed to take part in the DS world?
Grateful for any help as I don't want to take advantage. |

Try add-ons such as No-Squint Plus and Zoom Page for different Page and Text zoom levels.
