Default Can you change the skin?

I went though my settings and I can't find anything... but is it possible to change the Skin on the board (i.e. from the slate gray to a white background)? Thanks!

It is not possible to change the skin on JK- Forum. Here are previous posts where I provided a couple suggestions:

I do this sometimes when I'm at work and I don't want people to know I'm on the forum (they see the black background and immediately know what I'm doing....).

One other option, if you are not posting and only reading, is to use the forum archive to read through the threads. It's the "archive" link at the bottom of each page. Just make sure to click the little "PDA" link at the top right corner of the archive to display the threads from newest to oldest instead of the other way around. This option works well for mobile web users, too.

In any case, I really like the way the forum looks and I'd be bummed to see it changed. If Eddie were to implement anything to help this issue, I'd vote for the ability for users to change their own skins or color scheme from the default (which would be the current scheme).

Everything is free and it will make all of your web pages easy to read black text on white background without messing with the format of the page. You can also choose which sites it changes and it will leave the rest alone, or you can turn it off completely.

Feel free to PM me if you need help with that!
