Any help is appreciated.

Here's the site if that helps.

Admin -> Themes and Layout.  Change Overall forum default: to desired theme, and Reset everyone to: same.

[oOTrentOo]

Yeah, no.
That doesn't work.
I can't change it from the default theme.

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Are you getting an error?

[oOTrentOo]

Nope. It just doesn't change. The page reloads and everything but it's just the same default theme.

Which theme are you using?

[oOTrentOo]

Before it randomly switched to default, I was using Dhari.
Then I downloaded another theme called Carbonate to see if it was just Dhari that wasn't working. That didn't work either.

Do you have a any mods installed if so list them here.


Do you have any errors in your logs that could be related?

[oOTrentOo]

1.   Ad Managment    3.0.1     
2.   Buddies List   
3.   Slashout Banned Members   
4.   Hide ip stuff for users   
5.   Remove Help From Menu   
6.   SA Chat    Beta 4-1 Rev43     
7.   Remember Position After Login/Logout v1.0.3   
8.   Additional Profile Permissions

And no, there are no errors in the logs that could be related. Just a bunch of little user errors that happened hours and hours ago.

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Look in Themes and Layout -> Theme Settings.  Do you see the themes installed?  If you're getting a red warning about incorrect paths, click Attempt to reset all themes at the bottom.

[oOTrentOo]

Yes, they're all installed, and no I'm not getting any incorrect path warnings.

[TwitchisMental]

Yes, they're all installed, and no I'm not getting any incorrect path warnings.

Are you the only one that the theme is not changing for? Are you members seeing the theme that you have set?


I ask because when I click on the link you give I see the carbonite theme.

[oOTrentOo]

They haven't said anything about it in the forums... Should I make another account and see or should I use a proxy? Never mind, I'll just use both.

That will not help. If this is only happening for you it could be a cookie issue.


I say this because I am seeing the carb theme myself when I go to the link.

[Sir Osis of Liver]

I ask because when I click on the link you give I see the carbonite theme.

It's down now, but I saw default Curve a few minutes ago.

Yes it is down now, but I am pretty sure I saw the carb theme myself. (luck perhaps?)

[oOTrentOo]

Ugh, hurry up server/database/whatever is taking so long.
So if it's a cookie problem, how do you think I could fix it?

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Clear cookies in your browser, try a different browser, rename the cookie in Server Settings -> Cookies and Settings (this will logout all members).

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Board's up, theme is Carbonate.

[TwitchisMental]

Okay the forum is back up and I can confirm I see the Carbonate theme.


So Try doing Krash.'s suggestion.
