[Forum] How do you force users to use new style?

[twitch]

My forums have multiple styles available to users. When I add a new one, how would I force all users to use that style so they can witness/see the new style and then decide if they want to use another by using the normal change style/theme process?

Set that style as the forum default?

You can set the new one as a default in AdminCP > Settings > Options > Style & Language Settings > Default Style. However, if they have set a specific style for themselves in their Settings panel, then setting the default isn't going to change their style.

Right, I realize you can set it as default but like Lynn mentioned, if they have a different one already chosen, it doesn't assign the default to them.

No it doesn't. You would have to disable the other styles or run a query to reset their styleid.

I thought maybe I was missing an option... ah well. I have the option in my mybb forums and thought maybe it was a default option for vbulletin as well.

Thanks for the help!

Just out of curiousity, what is that sql query? I have a broken style that I want to move everyone off of ...
