My site has the Default style which I did some modifications on. Now I've added a second style which I'm still revising. When I've got it all working and want to upgrade the site to the new style, what is the best way to do this?

Will I need to go into user management and change all the groups so that they use the new style? Or is there a more global way to just pick a style and make it the new default?

I do not want users to have the option of choosing what style to view. I want to make sure everyone has the same viewing experience.

-Thanks in advance.

Just change the default under vboptions > styles > default style to the new style.

Thanks Lynn! You're really quick. I just found those settings and a bit ahead of schedule activated the updated style.

If at all intersted you can now see the forums with a sidebar implementation, but only on the FORUMHOME (main forums page). I guess I'll need to go into each page template and add the sidebar for those.

Here's the link: http://www.travelers411.com/forums/

ps. I do notice that I've got a slight css margin problem on the sidebar (its nudged down 10px), but I guess that can wait until tomorrow to hack.

Thanks again Lynn and everyone else for help!
