Hello!

I'm having something of a problem with my message board. See, the thing is, I recently upgraded to the latest version of VB, but in the process, my WYSIWIG editor got at all screwed up. Basically, it looks like crap now. Here's a picture:

See? The drop down menus are off, the colours are wrong, and the little colour-box thingy doesn't work properly.

Now here's a picture of the quick-reply box, which is more like what it should look like:

So, my question is: how do I fix this? What do I need to edit in the CP to make my reply box look like normal again?

Thanks in advance for any help,
Dan

To troubleshoot this, please remove any hacks and disable your plugins, then see if you still have this problem.
Note: To temporarily disable the plugin system, edit config.php and add this line right under <?php

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

If so, reupload all the original vB non-image files (except install.php). Make sure you upload these in ASCII format and overwrite the ones on the server.

If your problem still exists, please create a new Style with no Parent set. Now browse the forum using this new style, do you still have the same problems? If you are troubleshooting login or guest issues, you will need to set this style as board default in the vBulletin Options.

Okay, I've done all that.

Removing hacks/plugins didn't help.
Re-uploading the files didn't help.
Creating a new style (VB default) worked, which suggests that there's something up with the custom style I'm using. What I need to know is what needs to be edited to fix it.

You should ask the designer of the style.

Well, that's sort of the problem - I don't have access to the designer. So, failing that, how do I edit the appearance of the post editor? That is: how do I change the elements myself?

There were some changes in the headinclude template that affects the WYSIWIG editor. Try reverting that template or doing a compare/edit.
