Scroll right down to bottom of page and find the “style” icon.
On my phone, it looks like a paint brush.

You can force it to use the old style, or the newer one.

I find with the newer one, the menu at top stays at the top of page, but turns transparent… running over the top of other content.
 
Blue and white doesn't work for me either. It's just black and white and certain bits are transparent. The orange and white works but is missing the logo at the top left of the screen.

Here’s the differences between the the 24blue/orange and the 25white/blue

24 is missing the EF logo.

25 menu bar runs over the text below it. Possibly as it’s a transparent background, no assigned colour.

Whatever style is chosen reverts to the default 25 style as I navigate around the site.
 
We've had this happen on all forums. Didn't want to warn you ahead as it was going to do it no matter what.

It's a cache related issue and will filter through. The style you should be on is NEW24 BLUE AND WHITE. In the style chooser at the very bottom of the forum.

It's not the old orange and blue one. But once I've worked on it, it will be similar..

Devices you don't use much for the forum shouldn't have the ghosting issue where colour drops out. It happens a bit random.

I've set the browser cache time to just 20 minutes from 4hours. So it should keep trying grab a new cache copy of site files every 20 minutes and eventually work.

Takes a couple of days.

If I click on the link to activate the new style I get the following message :(

Oh yeah. Can you change it at the bottom of the forum?
 
It should not be white it'll take a couple of days to propagate. New users will see the blue version.

Us regulars will flick between blue and white and a bad cache of a style that doesn't exist anymore.

Clear cache or use another Web browser for a couple of days for me while I battle some other bugs.

Took 2 weeks on Tilers and plumbers to both calm down. I still get it on old threads I've already visited and have a cache of. And it is doing my head in but it's a cache issue out of my hands I'm afraid
