no the css just disapears and my php doesnt reconize the style.css but it affects the forum

EDIT: placed the css link in the forums global and it worked!

Thats where I said to put it.

woh i just noticed something now. i went to my forums directory and now its showing the error i was getting on the non vbulletin rendered page

Unable to add cookies, header already sent.
File: /home/shadowne/public_html/community/global.php
Line: 2

but my page outside the forums is fine

any ideas?

How did you add it?

i use the catch link

<link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> and then the php starts afterwards

No not that way!!!

Copy all the css code out of the file and place that in admincp -> style options -> Main CSS

Then all the way at the bottom "Additional CSS Definitions"
Then put it in the box that says (Customized in this Style)
Remember to copy the code do not post the link in there.

i had tryed that an no effect on both templates. i put it in both of the additional css definitions at different intervals and no effect again. i had alsoo tryed the link and no effect again. is there a css file on the server somewhere where i could drop my css in manually?

You cant have dupes like you cant have body from your css code as vbulletin already has that.
So make sure you don't have any doubles.

Only other suggestion I can suggest with out seeing what you have is to add the link in the header include bit.

no the header include had no effect. also the code i am working with has no doubbles that i can find.

so i have tryed style changes, additional css definitions, and adding to the header include.

all of witch had no effect. if i could some how get the style css to connect or copy into the global files that would help alot.

I don't know what else to say as I have did this and it works just fine.
