Aye, it seems a bit harder but it really isn't. I believe only Ross can do this. So you will have to wait. And welcome to VForums By the way.

Re: forum restore possible? - Posted By Michael (wrighty) on 21st May 08 at 4:14pm

I verified ownership via your IP address & email. I knew that I wouldn't be around for a couple of hours so didn't want you to have to wait while I verified with the original password {Smile}

If you still want the colors used on the skin called "Original" here then you can go to "Admin -> Create Skin -> Import Skin" and paste this into the textbox {Smile}
