Have you made sure that you have uploaded the cpstyles? Or that the permissions are correct for the folder and the subfolders within it? Look at the source code on a page in your admin cp, around the fourth line is something like this:
Point your browser to it and see if it comes up. If it doesn't come up in your browser, the either is doesn't exist (so upload it) or the permissions are incorrect (so fix them).

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.

If this doesn't help, then i suggest to open a support ticket so a support staff member can have a look at your server.

I checked the webserver for the cp styles directories and i posted the pictures below.... to my understanding it looks pretty correct.....

Also might i add that on my test server "everything works properly...." all i do is mount my test server to the webserver and plow everything over.....

Also... Lynne... im not sure what exactly you mean... about looking at the source for a admin cp page....

If i understand correctly

what i did was navigate to the vbulletin options main page.... used firefox and right clicked on the page and clicked "view page source"

which gave me this....

I dont think that i found the correct area to view the source, could you please direct me to the appropriate area to view the info you posted ?

BTW - Lynne thanks for all the help

Marco - I'm trying your solution next... 1 at a time....Lynnes first then yours but thanks for the reply and the help i really appreciate it..

I will reply later with updates on the situation


*PS* Sorry About the picture quality i thought it would turn out better.... if you need a better resolution image, I can make one, just let me know

In firefox, when trying to get the source code for a page in a frame, right click on the page and go down to This Frame and then View Frame Source. That should give you the source code for that page. Squinting at your images, I think you have all the files in the correct place, so unless that path is wrong in the source code, then the style should show.

Lynne,

I think i found it, thanks for the tip:)


So what i did was copy and pasted it into the browser .... https://www.cctvhelp.com/cpstyles/vB...ntrolpanel.css

and some css did come up but it kinda looked outta wack.... but i assume thats just because the browser is wrapping the text... and ignoring the whitespace

So pretty much the files exist and the permissions are good ? right ?

Maybe try reuploading those files? Usually, the css is nice and neat and easy to read and edit. Your file is not.

Well i uploaded the css file... same thing....

When i look at the css file on the webserver... it looks fine.... just when i open it with the browser it looks funky

theres a pic from the webserver below...

I think I'm gonna take a whack at what marco said now and see if that helps....

what really kills me is that this whole thing works on my test server.... i can even... move the files from the webserver to the test server.... and the admincp style works fine.....errrrrrr

I'm gonna take a break with this for a few days.... i gotta couple other things that need to be done....

but i'll be back with updates....

-Thanks :D
