Title: Insidious V2, GamerZ recent posts block
Post by: DarkAngel612 on January 28, 2021, 04:10:27 PM
OK here is the original thread, sorry too tired and lazy to re-write it all and this way you can also see the replies/suggestions and what has been tried:
https://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=576524.0 (https://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=576524.0)
mainly the recent posts area are not showing right.


BlueMoonlight 2.0 was the same but I did try a different approackh to make it work.
Insidious 2 is just plain stubborn, it is totally not working right, when used the entire forum area instead of being  middle of page is shown way to the bottom of left blocks. I have had to remove it and it is my favorite theme. Now if I put the shout box in a left block it will function right but WE like the shout box where it is...we even tried putting the shot box tippy top of page to no avail.

Insidious II has been pulled from the Theme Site. Looks like the author isn't supporting it anymore. Still, it's just an SMF theme. It can't be that big a deal to sort it. It would help if we could see the problems live.

Yes and that is sad cause it was a grand theme, easy to use and looked fine. I long ago noticed it removed but was hopeful that someone would take it over like some packages have been.

Although I did find it on github with others that said on the page that it worked on SMF 2.0+
I will re-install it then make sure the theme selector is set for guests to  be able to change the theme too ( found very lower in left side blocks.
It worked beautifully prior to our host move that has PHP7+, which messed up a lot of things.
Then I will come back and post it is ready

OK, as I say this site of ours has a VIG will of its own. I re-installed Insidious2 and lo and behold, the darn things works right again...even the mis-aligned recent posts are aligned again.

Now only the Gamerz copy and BlueMoonlight needs to work with alignment. I will try to do them both from scratch again. The forum loads correctly except the recents area.

Our forum never fails to amaze how it can differ so much from the others on the server with the same mods/versions and themes.
