So, today we will talk to you about how to remove a topic in Contact. In addition, it is worth thinking a little about ways to replace it, and also figure out how to initially install new page design options. So it’s worth starting to study the topic as soon as possible in order to know all the nuances that await you on the way to solving the problem.
What is this?
But before we remove the topic from Contact, let’s first try to figure out what it is all about. Do we really need to communicate with this object?
The thing is that the modern user wants to somehow stand out from others. Even if all the “features” are seen only by himself. And the monotonous design of pages sometimes gets boring. Then the theme for VKontakte comes to the rescue. If you install it, you will be able to see something original and beautiful instead of the familiar profile.
Themes help us “color” the social network page and add even more chic to it. New fonts, colors, pictures and photographs in the “background” are all possibilities for this object. True, sometimes such innovations begin to get boring. Then you have to think about how to remove the topic in Contact. But first, let's try to install this object on our page.
How to add discussions to a group in contact
We also note that before deleting topics (aka discussions), you must first clearly understand for yourself how to add discussions to a group in contact . First of all, you need to create your own interest group. Next, you need to go into the management of this community. Fill in the required fields - title, page address, description, etc., etc., as shown in the bottom figure.
Further down the page you will see various items, among which just below is the “Discussions” item. By default they are disabled. There you need to select “Enabled” to be able to conduct conversations, discussions and create topics. Then we go to the main page of the group and see the “Discussions” section. We can edit the page by clicking on the “Edit” link on the right.
"Your own master"
Well, the first thing we will try to do is remove the installed theme in the Google Chrome browser. You can do this in just a couple of clicks. Yes, and in several ways.
For example, you can simply erase the saved code. More precisely, delete the text file with the css extension. Then the theme will disappear automatically, the settings will be reset, and the page will return to its original appearance. An interesting move, although not entirely correct. All this is because sometimes due to such actions various failures can occur. However, now you know how to remove a topic in Contact with your own hands. But do not forget that each browser has its own download, installation, and “cleaning” option. Now we will try to figure out a more suitable method.
How to return the old look of VK
Unfortunately, in the official stores (Play Market for Android and App Store for IOS) you can only download the latest versions of applications. There they are regularly updated and do not provide a rollback option.
How then can I remove the new update in VK and return the old one? This is where apk files will come to our aid.
APK stands for Android Package Kit. These are archives that contain all the information about every application that has ever been released. They are available for both Androids and iPhones. It is with their help that you can return the previous version of VK.
Finding these files is not difficult. There are many sites that offer access to the old VK design by installing these programs. However, all of them are unofficial and you act in this case at your own peril and risk. For the same reason, we cannot recommend any sources.
You can find them yourself in a search engine. And then, to return to the old VK design, do the following:
- Remove the existing version of the social network from your device.
- Start downloading the found APK file. It can take some time.
- After that, go to your downloads folder.
- Find this file and open it.
- Before installation, you will need to accept all the conditions by clicking on the appropriate button.
- Wait for the installation to complete.
Now you can open the application, enter your username and password and check how you got back to the old VK interface.
We warn you once again that such an installation may contain malicious software. Simply put, you may catch a virus that is not so easy to deal with. So think carefully about whether you are really willing to risk it for the old app design.
In Google Chrome
Before continuing our conversation today, it is worth noting that the previous method is suitable for any browser - not only Chrome is cleaned by deleting the “root” file (code). This option is suitable for any computer and application that accesses the World Wide Web.
Nevertheless, we will still try to figure out how to remove the topic in “Contact” from “Google Chrome” using a more correct method. The settings will help us in this difficult task. In older versions of the program, you might see a wrench in the upper right corner of the browser; in newer versions, it’s something vaguely reminiscent of a list. Did you see?
Great, click on the button and see a huge drop-down list. We run our eyes along the lines and find the inscription “additional tools”. Now you should find the “extensions” parameter. In the window that appears, find the line VKstyles. If you decide to get rid of the original design once and for all (more precisely, before you again want to see something especially beautiful instead of the usual page), then you should click on the “delete” button. Now everything will fall into place. Nothing special or requiring special knowledge.
Changing the background of the social network interface in the browser
There is another plugin in extension stores that will quickly change your VK theme to black. Previously, it was only available for the Google Chrome browser. But today the developers have allowed users of other navigators to use their program to improve the design of the social network.
The official development group in VK is located at https://vk.com/addons. There are links for three browsers: Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Yandex Browser.
Working with the extension is quite simple:
- Go to the store and click the “Install” button;
- The icon will appear on the browser toolbar;
- Users do not need to search for additional themes or change extension settings. Just click on the icon while on your VKontakte profile page and the theme will automatically change to dark. At the same time, the icon on the browser toolbar will change its color.
This suggests that the expansion is currently active. By clicking on the icon again, the VKontakte website will again accept the standard theme.
But this does not mean that the extension cannot be customized. Select it with the right mouse button and click "Manage Extension". The browser will take you to the settings page, where you can activate the extension automatically for other sites. Allow the black theme to work in Incognito mode. And get more information.

"Explorer"
So, we continue to put things in order in our first “exit to the World Wide Web.” We will talk about Internet Explorer. We already know how you can add a topic to your page, but nothing is known about deleting it yet.
In fact, putting up decoration is much more difficult than removing it. In order to return the profile to its original appearance, you will have to visit the “settings” again. In particular, the Appearance menu. Simply uncheck the “use custom design” box and save the settings. Restart the VKontakte page or update it - you will see how everything falls into place. Nothing complicated. Even the created design does not need to be erased. When they wanted it, they returned the “originality,” but when they got tired, they turned to the “standard.”
But don’t forget that we also have several other browsers reviewed. Now we will think about how to remove the topic in “Contact” in these applications. There will be nothing special or overly complicated here either.
What to do if VK displays “You are trying to change your name too often”?
These are the rules: in VK you must indicate your real first and last name. But people don’t change their full name often, so in VK there is a limit on how often this can be done. Usually VK shows what date you can change your first or last name. This means that you really have to be patient.
Most often, girls change their last name.
They give themselves the last name of their boyfriend. When the relationship ends, they want to change their last name back (or change it to the next guy's last name). But VK doesn’t allow me to do this. Too little time has passed!
How can we be here? Just get married. No, it’s not marital status to put in VK. This means going to the registry office, getting married and taking your husband’s last name. Receive a document about changing your last name and show it to VK support service, as described above. If you get divorced, you will return your old last name and change it in VK in the same way.
If your page got to the attackers, they changed your first and last name and now it’s too long to wait until they can be changed again, contact the VK support service, but you will also have to wait for an answer there.
Cleaning Opera
So, now we will move on to our second browser - Opera. Now we will figure out how to remove the theme in “Contact” that you installed earlier. There shouldn't be any difficulties.
In general, there are two options for the development of events. We will look at both with you. The first one is quite quick and banal. Just go to “Display” and then simply erase the address to our file in which the design code is saved. Save the changes and look at the result.
True, you can use another method. For example, go to “View Modes” (they are in the settings), and then uncheck the “my style sheet” option. Choose what you like best.
"Mozilla"
Now we will think about how to delete a topic in “Contact” from “Mozilla”. This will be much more difficult to do, because you had to use a special add-on to install the design.
Well, let's get rid of originality and return to the “standard”. Go to the Stylish program, and then delete the code or uncheck the box next to the theme you used. True, you must be on the Contact page itself.
Save your changes and close the program. Refresh the page and look at the result. Everything should work out. As a last resort, you can always remove the installed theme from the list - it will be removed automatically. Now you know how designs for a social network are installed and removed.
Removing dark background on mobile
For iOS and Android, the black background can also be removed through the standard settings of the mobile application, in the “Add-ons” section. The procedure for changing the interface color does not take much time. Changes made on iPhone and Android will take effect only after restarting the application.
The appearance of the social network background on your phone will be the same as before. Please note that a bright screen impairs daylight viewing on almost all devices.
