| theme reverts back to an old one | rozkri | 4/17/12 2:45 AM | On my office computer my theme keeps returning to Flora Too, which I changed weeks ago and had used a new one since. Now for the last two days, being signed in and restarting my computer, it keeps going back to Flora Too. My home netbook does retain |

| Re: theme reverts back to an old one | rozkri | 4/21/12 2:42 AM | Tried all of that, still get the same Floral Too in the office. Don't know what I would do differently than about two weeks ago, when this didn't happen and changes stuck. But thanks for the tip! |
| Re: theme reverts back to an old one | bluequoll | 4/21/12 4:44 AM | Have you checked the browser home page setting, to make sure the old theme isn't still included in the URL as a " ?skin= " parameter. |
| Re: theme reverts back to an old one | LanceManion | 4/21/12 7:24 AM | I'm seeing the same problem. I'm on the verge of not using iGoogle anymore, because I keep seeing issues like this come up. |
| Re: theme reverts back to an old one | bluequoll | 4/21/12 3:17 PM | I can't reproduce this issue, so I'll need some more information about your setup. • Which version of iGoogle are you using, "new look" or "old look"? • Which browser, browser version and operating system are you using?

| Re: theme reverts back to an old one | bluequoll | 4/21/12 9:51 PM | Thanks! Another user has reported here: https://groups.google.com/a/googleproductforums.com/d/msg/websearch/zup8Ij1FtZ0/mYxcJqElKI8J that the issue of the theme changing back was resolved by temporarily reverting to the "old look" and then switching |
| Re: theme reverts back to an old one | tropochris | 4/21/12 9:59 PM | No...there is no option to revert to the "new theme" it asked me once if I wanted the new them and that was about 2 weeks ago. I switched to the new look then and everything was fine until 5 days ago.Thanks |
| Re: theme reverts back to an old one | bluequoll | 4/21/12 10:05 PM | For the sake of completeness, I'm just recording in this discussion that this issue has been reported elsewhere: https://groups.google.com/a/googleproductforums.com/d/topic/websearch/zup8Ij1FtZ0/discussion (users KAT-B and BJ2012) https://groups.go |
| Re: theme reverts back to an old one | KAT-B | 4/22/12 3:31 AM | My son took a look at this problem for me and he updated my internet explorer and that solved the problem. Apparently I was 2 versions behind. Not sure if it will work for everyone else but it did for me. |
| Re: theme reverts back to an old one | millywobbles | 4/23/12 12:01 PM | I can't find where/how to do this. |
| Re: theme reverts back to an old one | rozkri | 4/24/12 2:52 AM | Thank you all for your help! I took the advice to update my Explorer and lo and behold! The new theme I had wanted all along came up automatically. |
| Re: theme reverts back to an old one | tropochris | 4/24/12 6:52 AM | I already had the latest explorer 9. Mine still does not work. |
| Re: theme reverts back to an old one | tropochris | 4/24/12 8:24 AM | In my settings, it shows the new theme page, but when i go back to my homepage, the old theme is there. There must be a reason for this. Cant anyone at Google gives us an answer? |
| Re: theme reverts back to an old one | bluequoll | 4/24/12 9:01 PM | This issue has been flagged for Google attention, but can't be reproduced.

| Re: theme reverts back to an old one | millywobbles | 4/25/12 8:33 AM | Why the temp download of Chrome? (I have done so, but don't like it, and see no difference in how my iGoogle operates,ie, theme still reverts to previous.) |
| Re: theme reverts back to an old one | bluequoll | 4/25/12 3:53 PM | millywobbles: The reason I suggested temporarily trying a different browser was to check if the browser had anything to do with the theme reverting to an old one. Thanks for trying the steps I suggested. It looks like this issue isn't related to th |
| Re: theme reverts back to an old one | tropochris | 4/25/12 7:20 PM | Mine keeps reverting back to Tropical Home and the page itself is not the new look. It worked fine in the new look for a couple of weeks with Beach and then went haywire. On Chrome it works fine with beach, but I would still like to get Explorer work |

| Re: theme reverts back to an old one | millywobbles | 4/29/12 12:29 PM | I just re-cleared cache/cookies and made sure the Favorites box was NOT checked this time. That seems to have corrected the problem!! So simple! thanks! |
