Discussion Forum Module: how to set all users on same default theme?

    I know theme switching was enabled in the Discussion Forum Module a few releases back, however, my installation needs to use a company branded theme for all users.

    I modified the templates in my theme to remove the theme switching capability so that’s OK. But there’s somewhere (cookie?) that’s storing off the theme for the user as not all users are seeing the default theme for the forums.

    What am I missing?

    Can I “force” all users to the theme default for my installation (as is specified in the “Default Forum Theme” under Default Preferences in the CP for the Discussion Forum Module)? If so, how?

    Thank you!

    To update: there is a forum_theme field in the members table that will contain the theme chosen. To reset users to the same theme if you want to disable theme switching and “force” users to the default, that’s the place to make the change.

    You can also remove all of the other themes and only run your modified branded version, which is perhaps the most reliable way to handle this.
