Well I've got the forums up and running again, so that's good anyway. I can't get the old style to work so I'm going to have to work on rebuilding it. That'll take time. For now we're stuck with this pale blue/white thing.

Thanks, Matt. Do you know why they went down to begin with?

Which was? :-D

I'm guessing an update to the system software again.

yeah, a PHP update was going to be forced on us, so I went ahead and did it but should have upgraded the forum first.

The old style available through the user control panel if anyone wants to switch back to it. Just keep in mind some things will look weird or may not work for awhile while I work on sorting out all the new style changes.

hmmm, just found out, my fix might not have actually fixed it. I have upgraded to the newer forums, but I just saw an email that support moved us back to the old PHP about the same time that I got things working last night. So now I don't know if I actually got things working, or if the roll back of PHP is what made things start working. :(

I'll look into it more tonight. :(

Good news, the upgrade of the server was successful and didn't break anything on the forums.

Bad news, several of the web pages are now broken. :( I think those will be a relatively simple fix but I'm going to focus on the forums first.
I've done a bunch of style editing and will load the files tonight. With luck it'll be good enough and only need some minor tweaks.

Well not as much success as I hoped but a good start. If anyone would like to go back to the old style you can do so through the user control panel and select the Cobalt theme. There will be some things that don't look right yet but for the most part you should be able to use them and have things look like they use to.

clear your browser cache. That was what it looked like without the updates I've made.

Ok, I think I've got all the edits done to make the style look like it use to.

Let me know if you see something that looks wrong or anything you'd like changed.

Looks better, but how do I compress the topics?

They were on one line each, not in a big box like they are now. I would say the box is set to expand automatically now, where before it didn't do that.

Could it be that we had a mobile site setting that hasn't been reset?

Possibly but as far as i can tell there is vert little difference between the original file and the new file. I’ll look at it closer when i get a chance.

Didn't find a difference, but I did figure out how to force it to behave as you requested. You may need to clear your cache for the change to take effect.
