leoinnj Posted December 30, 2006 CID Share Posted December 30, 2006 When I log, in the bar with the selections: Home, Download Tests etc.it is always black, this makes it difficult to read. I click on Theme and change it to blue, which is fine, and I also went into the Theme list and selected blue, and clicked on "use it". That works ok for the session, but when I log off and return later, the bar is back to black, and I have to go do it all over. Is there any way to make the blue selection the default?

dlewis23 Posted December 30, 2006 CID Share Posted December 30, 2006 try clearing your cache and cookies then test and see if it does it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted December 31, 2006 CID Share Posted December 31, 2006 I believe that forum color is either set via cookie. You want to change your cookie settings to keep the cookies until they expire. My guess is that your settings right now only keep them for the session. I will try and track down the cookie that controls this function. Alright I found the cookie.. It is called theme, go figure right.. It expires one month from when it is sent to the user. I would check the settings that you are using for cookie control.

tommie gorman Posted December 31, 2006 CID Share Posted December 31, 2006 If I clear my cookies mine also defaults. Don't do that. If you run ccleaner it will also do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA3LE Posted December 31, 2006 CID Share Posted December 31, 2006 take a screenshot next time this happens so I can see what it looks like. I'll look into it and make sure that it's not a system wide problem, though I haven't heard about anyone having any problems with the menu and I've personally seen it on at least 20 different computers and haven't had a single problem. With the default theme the menu is supposed to be black with medium/dark gray lettering, the lettering changes to white and a blue underline happens on mouse over. When you have the problem are you able to mouse over the menu items and do they change? Or does the text appear to be completely nonexistent? Since nobody else has had a problem I'm pretty sure it's a problem with your browser or something (and with the high volume of traffic this site gets we would have for sure had many other reports if it was otherwise)... but whatever the case we'll get to the bottom of it ... exactly 24 hours till the new year! WOOT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blunted 2 Posted December 31, 2006 CID Share Posted December 31, 2006 i clear out all my temporary internet files, cookies and cache and all my browser settings. basically everything that can be cleared in my computer i do it about 2 to 3 times a month and i also run a bunch of adware and spyware programs and mine still stays the same even after all of that.

coknuck Posted December 31, 2006 CID Share Posted December 31, 2006 Tommies right about ccleaner. It cleans good and after using it I get the default theme every time. But thats no biggie, just reset the theme I like and go on with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buntz Posted December 31, 2006 CID Share Posted December 31, 2006 I run a firefox add-ons Extension called CookieCuller.It allow me to save what cookies I want and delete the ones I do not want. So when I run CCleaner I do not put a check mark in the firefox cookies box,so no cookies are deleted. I do it manually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leoinnj Posted January 1, 2007 Author CID Share Posted January 1, 2007 Thanks for the feedback. The problem is probably due to the fact that WebWasher clears all cookies after each session. I'll try it the way that Buntz suggested, I'll install the CookieCuller extension and then give it a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommie gorman Posted January 1, 2007 CID Share Posted January 1, 2007 Cleaning cookies every session? Sounds a bit much. Does it really help? Mine never changed any on that end except having to relog-in every time I turned around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine never changed any on that end except having to relog-in every time I turned around. its a good thing to clean them every month or so just to get rid of some old stuff that might be hanging around from a few bad sites.

tommie gorman Posted January 1, 2007 CID Share Posted January 1, 2007 Oh I clean them out more than that. Also using "User Profile Hive Cleanup Service" helps also. It makes sure I am disconnected when I reboot. It works flawlessly. (microsoft freebie) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
