Is there a way I can use the old CSS on this forum?

Is there a way I can override the new forum theme with the old CSS locally somehow? I mean, just render the page with a stylesheet on my PC rather than the server.

Is it built into firefox or something?

Thanks; Also, I don't mean any offense, the new site layout is great, the forum color scheme just strains my eyes a bit.

Agreed. I like the layout, but I preferred the old colour scheme xD

I believe GreaseMonkey allows you to do CSS overwrites. If it doesn't, just search around the extensions site.

I don't know about GreaseMonkey, but Firebug allows it. I had a copy of the old forum CSS somewhere. If I can find it, I'll post it for you.

I don't know what effect using this will have on the main layout, or even if it'll actually work. So it's up to you to mess around with.

Do you happen to have a way of making it look like the good old Black and Blue layout Tiberath? :)

To the better part of my knowledge, I have that CSS somewhere. But not on me. I took the CSS above from the hub_page.css file I release ages ago. I'll hunt around for it, but don't get your hopes up.

Ah, maybe it is firebug I was thinking of. GreaseMonkey can run javascript automatically. I, for one, have disabled all right-click hooks using it. Mostly because those stupid "no right-click" scripts are annoying as hell and only make things harder for the user.

I found a good one. Look up the "Stylish" extension.
