Is anyone still having a problem with styles changing randomly for users?

:)

May I make a feature request? I have a mobile style/skin that some users access from their smart phone/PDA. When they get back to their PC now though, as a result of this hack, they find themselves in that mobile style. I've suggested they update their bookmarks to accomodate (adding a "?styleid=25" suffix, which brings them back to the default skin) but obviously that's not ideal.

So what I'm thinking is, maybe there'd be a way to allow some styles to be excluded from this behavior? If a user chooses "mobile," for example it wouldn't auto-update their style prefs?

Yes...

Is that PDA skin available at all? A few people on a forum I visit have been asking for one.

I'll add an option, but for now you can just edit the fetch_userinfo hook and change:

if ($user['userid'] != false && $dbstyleid !== false && $user['styleid'] !== false && $user['styleid'] != $dbstyleid){


Change it to something like:

if ($user['userid'] != false && $dbstyleid !== false && $user['styleid'] !== false && $user['styleid'] != $dbstyleid && $styleid != 34){

With 34 being the ID of your PDA skin.

Bison and co. I'll check it out, but I'm unable to recreate it. Try disabling all other plug-ins and tell me if it still happens. If it does, then I'll PM you to find out more information about the exact set-up. Is it changing everyone's style to the same when someone uses this plug-in, or does it change someone's theme randomly when they visit.

EDIT: Try this and see if it fixes the problem.

Thanks! Did the edit for now... I appreciate the help.

Here are two, I like the first one best:

There is also one included in this hack:

And while we're on the subject, here's a new hack that promises to detect when a mobile device connects to your site and allow you to override the default style/skin with one you specify:

Thanks :)

It seems to mostly, though not always, change people to a random skin (not what they have previously chosen) when they log in to the board. It not all the same, it's random ones. And sometimes people report that it just changes mid visit. I'll try the new plugin :) Thanks for looking into this! :)

It is a random occurrence for each user, the forum I help at was getting reports of users styles changing randomly after posting/refreshing/editing/ect.

Edit: We have tried the version posted here and ended up with the same problems.

Sadie, did you have success with the new plugin? I ask because I came here to report similar issues; users are reporting random, unexpected style changes. I was thinking perhaps it had something to do with this plugin. Just wanted to get feedback from you regarding Xoligy's fix attempt before I installed it myself.

What am I doing wrong...It just says default.
No matter what skin I am using???
