There are posts all through this thread about creating a template for this hack.

Besides that, why are my backgrounds changing when I report but not creating the threads?

Older posts maybe - before it was a product it was necessary to create the templates, since it was upgraded to a product it is not, the product import creates them. If you have created templates and imported the product, you may have created a problem.

I have no idea and I'm not entirely sure I understand you. Do you have screenshots to illustrate what you mean ?

Good to know! lol Now I need to figure out how to get rid of the template.

The first screen shot is the default colors, etc. for the main index. The second is what happened after I reported a post on the board with that background. Still no threads being created though.

Any rogue templates can be got rid of by reverting them. After you have done that - reimport the product, with overwrite set to yes, and make sure you have a master template called "Report_post". Also make sure the plugins are loaded.

Okay, that was weird but it works now! lol Thank you!!!

As I said - creating a manual template almost certainly caused a problem. Getting rid of it has solved the problem. :)

Sorry to bother you with this again but I just installed this on a friend's forum and am having the same problem with the backgrounds changing after a post is reported. I didn't do anything unnecessary, i.e., creating a template so I have no idea why it is doing this again. I even tried it twice but the backgrounds are still messing up.

I still don't really understand what you mean, your screenshots were too small for me, and you never really explained what they were supposed to be showing. That said - this doesn't alter what's displayed when a post is reported anyway, all it does is change the resulting action - so I don't see how it can affect any background anyway.

The screen shots were supposed to show before and after I reported. The before shot was the main index with the default background, the after shot was the main index with the board's (with the post I reported) background. For some reason, when I reinstalled on my own forum, it worked. But that isn't the case with the forum I'm working on now. Is it possible this hack is conflicting with another one or a template with certain settings?

I'm still completely confused - how can your forum have two backgrounds ? are they different styles ? What is the url of the site ? Can you create a test account so I can see what you are talking about, because I really just don't follow, esp given what I have alreay pointed out - that this does not alter the actual post reporting process, only what happens to the report.
