The forum looks to have Pretty url's or something similar installed. Board index has a standard url, but the board in question does not. May or may not be relevant.

Mick.

Are they showing on Default theme? 3rd time I said this.

Are the blocks showing on the default theme? Yes, or no?

Please stick to answering the question asked. It will make this a lot easier for everyone. You are mixing things up in your sentences. ;)

This was like this before the move as it's one reason I moved it as wasn't able to sorting as didn't have file access.



Mick.

Alright...

Let's try this.... On default theme you said that the html block is showing, correct? Ok. Good, that's good sign. Now, Let's figure out the message index page on your custom theme. Let's rename the messageindex.template.php something like messageindex.template.php77 or whatever. I use numbers, easy for me to remember.

Go to your forum and hard refresh your browser. You see the block on message index?

Mick.

Please don't tell me you're doing this from Admin in your forum.

This is most likely a block permissions problem (ie: an admin setting).

Nope. His default theme has been edited to hell and back, to make the forum default that guests see. IOW, the black and red theme is theme=1.

Changing template names on that will obviously give the error about unable to load file.

Mick.

Ok cool.

Yes, I saw that. I'm refreshing your page and see the changes.

Ok, rename it back to original.

Would it work installing a new theme?

Mick.

So anything you install goes directly to the blak/red theme?
