Style got messed up
 

I was editing a style in my CP when for some reason things began going wrong. So I look an SQL backup and copied and pasted the CSS from the SQl directly into the current vB SQL database.

The style was restored before my mods, but none of the restored settings are reflected in the CP. From the CP its like nothing was restored. What's going on? How I repair this?

I think the style vars are saved in a table or tables, and then built into CSS. I don't know if it ever goes backwards, so you may have to find that other table in your backup and copy that too.
