They were in the header bar and now they're gone! I don't know what happened, I wasn't doing any code! How do I get them back???

Edit: They seemed to reappear now are gone again.

If it's the forum in your signature, they all look OK to me just now. Can you post a screen shot of what it looks like when they disappear? It might be a Theme or Mod related issue so first stop is to try the default Curve theme to see if all is well there and then switch back to see if they've gone again.

I see this all over the place (well, not really), but I see this:

<span id="top_subject">

It hides in chrome like if there is a <br /> tag.

Anyhow, in /Themes/winterwarriors/css/index.css

h4.catbg, h4.catbg2, h3.catbg, h3.catbg2, .table_list tbody.header td.catbg {
background : #7AB0F2;
color : #142264;
padding-right : 9px;
-webkit-border-radius: 9px;
-moz-border-radius: 9px;
border-radius: 9px;
}


Change padding-right : 9px; to padding-right : 8px;

It should show up right.

wynnyelle

Tried it. It didn't do anything at all.

mashby

I see it on Firefox, Chrome, Opera, IE. Maybe it's because I'm not logged in, but I wouldn't think that would matter very much.

Seeing it on any of those is a problem.

I am also getting this problem:

Two problems. The colours are all messed up, and the words are all to one side. This I consider even more serious. Anyone who can aid me in this is welcome to and I would be very grateful.

When did this start happening? If I remember correctly, you have customized your site so much, you don't want to move off of RC3. It's rather hard for support to keep up with supporting release candidates. As much as you don't want to read this, I highly recommend upgrading to 2.0.2.

Give this a try.
Look for:
.post, .personalmessage {
overflow : auto;
line-height : 1.4em;
padding : 0.1em 0;
}

Remove (or comment out):
overflow : auto;
Like:
.post, .personalmessage {
line-height : 1.4em;
padding : 0.1em 0;
}

That is bang on mashby! :)

Chrome dev tools are pretty cool to play with. (that is the same thing I came up with. - not sure if that fixes it though.)

wynnyelle

..That's personal messages. It would also fix posts? My post problems?

Chrome has dev tools?!? I have Firebug Lite on it, but it's rather useless. I use Firefox/Firebug. What dev tools are available? I use Chrome to play Angry Birds and Canvas Rider when I'm bored (and to upload videos to YouTube).

Have you tried it out?

wynnyelle

I just did, it did not fix the titles at all.

I don't know about whether it helped with the more serious problems.

mashby

Control F5 a few times. The text flows normally now.

Do you mean for the titles or the post bodies?

I still don't see a change for the titles, I don't know about the post bodies as that never popped up for me at all.

The title is not there....do you see it?

It is something similar to firebug. I feel more comfortable with the dev tools in chrome. Right click on the area where you have the issue and inspect element. It gives you a whole bunch of things to troubleshoot it. :)

I am done with angry birds on chrome.. there haven't been any new updates since a long time.. :(

No Groovystar, the edit by mashby is for the text of the post getting aligned to the right side automatically. It fixes the text issue. :)

mashby

I now see what you mean, although I didn't see it before:
#forumposts h3 span#top_subject {
    margin: 0 0 0 7.7em;
}
That 7.7em is likely causing the issue. I would change that or consider removing that whole thing. I disabled the margin using Firebug and that made it look just fine to me. Although I am now seeing performance issues on your site (waiting for it to load in Chrome).

wynnyelle

The site is half down right now, I cannot access it at all.

The problem with the post bodies is the main issue right now, worse than the titles alone not showing.

Waiting for the site to come back up.

Thank you all for your help so far.

mashby

Now that your site is back up (for the moment :)), it appears that the two items above should fix both things. Confirmed it using Chrome dev tools (thanks for that tip, Flameboy). Looks like you already applied the post fix. :)

wynnyelle

The entire skin is broken.

Now what?

Do you have a backup of the index.css? I may have lost mine. Kind of an emergency.

mashby

Uh, why would I have a backup of your CSS? :) Your server is the issue at the moment. Do you have backups of your site files? Does your hosting service have any?

- James M. Barrie

wynnyelle

yeah i found the backup and restored it. The code editor screwed it up when I did a save. I guess I can't use that thing agian.

One member says that the post side thing is fixed.

mashby

Do you have FTP access?!? That would be the ideal way to edit site files rather than the in site thing. :)

- James M. Barrie

wynnyelle

I have putty, but don't really know how to use it.

I'll likely just upload/overwrite files from here on out. The theme is working again, and the post windows text problem {but not the colour display problem} was solved thanks to you guys, and that was the largest of the problems so thanks :)

This is still not working:

Flamer actually fixed it. The change to remove that .7em was actually what broke the theme :( But I was unable to fix it myself for a while due to server lag.

...I am not sure what code actually did fix it... :) I will have to ask him.

What are these dev tools you guys keep talking about?

mashby

#29
So is this issue fixed and no one gets no money?

EDIT:
I am still not seeing the titles using Firefox. And removing the .7em should not have broken your theme. Not sure how you changed it given that your server was unavailable. In any case, I'm not posting to claim any prize. I really have no intention of claiming that. That's not what makes me get up in the morning.
Before.jpg is what I see using Firefox.
After.jpg is disabling this:
#forumposts h3 span#top_subject {
    margin: 0 0 0 7.7em;
}

wynnyelle

I couldn't access it but during my panic, Flamer went in there and fixed it. I don't know what he did to fix it.

Titles are, yes, still broken.

Flamer restored it to 7.7 em like it was before. I had put it to 2.7 em to see what it would do, then it broke.

That's the situation :P

Antechinus

Sounds like your editor is borking things. Changing that margin shouldn't break the theme.

wynnyelle

I just tried Mashup's fix, and it appears to have fixed it!

But HCF still sees a non-title.

hcfwesker

probably just need to clear my cache on Opera.  Title shows when i switched to chrome

wynnyelle

Yes! So it is fixed! That's one more down. I think all that's left now is the colour problems.

Thanks guys!! We are knocking them down one by one.
