Hello.
I installed a Hallowen style for tomorrow.
In admincp I configured default Hallowen style for all users, and disabled my default style.

But continue with my default style (not for guests) but my profile, for example, if I not select the new hallowen style, continue appears my default style.

Hallowen only its tomorrow, I can "force" this style to all users?

Thanks and regards!!

Style and Language Settings>Allow Users To Change Styles - Set to NO.

Then put it back to YES after Halloweenie.

Admins see all styles, but your regular members will only see the active styles.

Thank MarkFL!

My intention is to set halloween by default and that all users, have this style by default, not for choice, but to be displayed.

It happens now that, although it has been configured by default and the option they can select has been disabled, regular users continue to see the usual style, the "normal" one, not the halloween one.

the only solution, temporary that I have seen, is to export / download my usual style, delete it, that way if, all regular users, have already seen the change of style to the new halloween.

When I finish halloween, add my normal style and eliminate the halloween.

Excuse me if I did not know how to explain myself with my English ... :)

Regards!!

When you go to the "Style Manager" you should see a checkbox to the immediate left of all installed styles. Uncheck the checkbox next to all styles you wish to disable and click "Save Display Order."

I just did this on my dev site, and it worked to make a style unavailable to a non-admin account.

Ok, yes, I want this a few hours ago and...when I access to the forum, my profile continue displaying my "normal" style. And yes, I can't select other style, not appears this option, but continue my profile displaying normal style. But I don't know if regulars users continue displaying also, the normal style, or new halloween style.

Thank you!!!

If the Halloween style is the only active style you have set, then non-admin users should only have access to that. I would create a test account to make sure that's the case. :)

The feeling that I had is that, all the users who have established a style, even if they only leave the active halloween style, they will continue to visualize the normal style. I did tests with my user (I'm admin) and that happened. I do not know what happened in normal users, but none mentioned the new style of Halloween.

Again, thank you! :)

If you are using an admin account, then you will continue to see all styles, whether checked or not. But non-admin accounts should only see the checked styles.

About your users not saying anything...I rarely have anybody outside of staff say much at all about new things going on at MHB. It's like when a woman wears a new dress, her husband likely doesn't notice, and she has to ask him what he thinks. :)

Ohh yes, in that you are very right, hahaha.
Rarely does a user say something about a change, and indeed, it's like when a woman puts on a new dress, or goes to the hairdresser, makes a new hairstyle and has to ask her husband if he notices something different :)
