Revert to previous theme?
-
While browsing for themes with a view to creating a website for a new project, I accidentally clicked ‘activate’ rather than ‘live demo’. Boom! Without warning, my original blog has a new theme and there appears to be no way of going back. I don’t remember the name of the theme, nor does it appear to be among those currently available.
Is there a way back?
Will the name of the theme be recorded somewhere on my dashboard? (It was single column, dark brown background, small, white font.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I went to Google’s cache and discovered you used to use a retired theme that no longer supports all WordPress.COM features called ChaoticSoul.
You can quickly and easily change themes on any WordPress.COM hosted blog to another one found here http://wordpress.com/themes/ and no data will be lost or negatively affected by the change. The only time you may have to do some work is if you are changing to a dramatically different theme and have done any CSS editing.
Provided you are logged in as Admin under the same username account that registered the blog go to Dashboard > Appearance > Themes and browse themes until you find one you like and click “activate” or type in the name of the theme you want to use and
click the “activate” link when it appears.After you change your theme all you need to do is go here Dashboard > Appearance > Widgets > Inactive Widgets and re-install them where you want them to appear. The widget contents and settings will be the same as they were prior to changing themes.

Hello!
Using the Internet Wayback Machine I found an older cached site. It appears that you had previously used Chaotic Soul as your theme

ChaoticSoul
https://theme.wordpress.com/retired/chaoticsoul/It appears that this theme is now retired and unavailable.
Here are some themes that seem similar to Chaotic Soul:

I answered this 10 minutes before you did. Please don’t get into a pissing match with me or with raincoaster in support threads. We can post so much more than you did that it will make your head spin. In this case, the blogger wants to know that the most recent theme he/she used was and it was ChaoticSoul.

No way I am going to do that. Your username is not linked to a site that is not hosted by WordPress.COM.
The answer the blogger who posted above, richardparkin was seeking was provided by me 10 minutes before you posted.
