My forum has been running fine now seemingly out of nowhere, I am receiving this error???
"Unable to load the 'main_above' template."

Did you install any mods recently ?

NergalHST

I don't recall adding anything prior to the error coming up.

sounds like a 1.1 theme was installed on 2.0

NergalHST

I don't understand how this error came out of seemingly nowhere, how would I go about starting my trouble shooting?

Try clearing your cache in Admin -> Maintanance -> Forum Maintenance -> Routine

In addition, are there any errors in your log?

Alright I will try that, and where can I check the logs?

How could I verify this?

Oya

in your current theme, look in the theme's directory for a theme_info.xml file, if you find one please attach it here

Also my co-webmaster just told me he was checking around with the chat feature and then it broke. Maybe him enabling or disabling the feature did something?

ok so its a 2.0 theme on 2.0 but something's modified it to be asking for the main template layer which it shouldn't be

did anything change before this happened like a new mod?

NergalHST

I really haven't messed with much, but I did turn the chat feature on and off.

Could you run repair_settings to see if your paths are correct? I just tried to locate http://www.forum.hostellroleplay.net/Themes/default/images/on.gif and it isn't there. Which makes me believe the path for the default theme is off. This also affects your custom theme.

What is repair_settings.php?

Upload it to your forumlocation, run it from there (like http://www.yoursite.com/forum/repair_settings.php) and make sure to click all blue links to correct paths and urls. Don't forget to save!
