Do forum themes work?

[rockpaperlizard]

Whenever I change the forum theme, it shows the theme for a brief moment, and then goes back to the default theme. Are the forum themes broken?

Also, I tried viewing one post that said it was not compatible with the default theme, but when I tried to view the post in a different theme, it just quickly flashed it on the screen and then returned to a page saying the post was not compatible.

The themes should be working. Are you using some kind of popup/ad blocker? Try logging out, delete cache/cookies etc?

Yes to the ad blocker, but tested without blocking anything from xda-developers.com, and still does not work. Does xda-developers.com require interactions with third-party servers (besides the ajax libraries) to work correctly? Logging out, deleting cache/cookies/etc did not correct the issue.

Do you get working themes if you only allow xda-developers.com and nothing else?

I tried turning off javascript, and that allows the themes to work. As an added bonus, xda-developers.com is about 10 times faster! I'm not sure what, if any, functionality is lost.

I'm still willing to help with the javascript version of the site if you like. Note that in the javascript version, it always refreshes and then appends styleid=18 to the URL (regardless of the style chosen). HTH.

A followup: tested again, and the themes still do not work. XDA always reloads itself and appends style=18 to the URL.
