vBSkinworks yes!

The problem-having skin is "OnlyDev". All other skins (BlackTeal, ProWeg) work, and they are located like:

/forum/blackteal/misc/
/forum/proweb/misc

Though OnlyDev is done this way:

/forum/images/onlydev/misc

As you can see te images directory is between the skin and the forum. Strange thing is when i took the blackteal's one (menu_open.gif) and placed it in the misc directory of the onlydev skin, and it still didn't work. I checked the source of the page (CTRL + U) and when I searched for "menu_open.gif" it found it without problems although when you're viewing the page it isn't located there :s

in the admincp in your 'styles & templates' --> 'all style options' --> Miscellaneous Images Folder what does it say there? If it is something like {1}misc then that is what is messing it up. If that is what it is then Ranger187 posted the fix in the thread or maybe you can just change it to above "images/onlydev/misc" and see if that makes it work...or your full path..http://......

Another minor thing I think i would mention.

RSS feeds by the system are not displayed in the chat area, normal posts are, not sure if this is a bug, it may have been mentioned before too much info to read through.

Is it possible to have RSS feeds shown in the announce tried it in its own colums and not working.

Same problem here, forumcoding page gets timeout issue. I cannot log there anymore, it is not working at all since about 7 hours now! I had ask before for support there about my problems after upgrading to 2.3.1, but since it went down, I will repeat here.

For me, I had to deactivate my notifications about new threads/posts because all I get now is databases errors in both cases!

And yes I applied the upgrade script ( http://url_of_your_admincp/mgc_cb_ev...e_before_2.3.0 with the corrected URL of course) at the end without any errors when applying the script.

These are the errors I get when I reply to a messages or create a new post:

Finally, when using quick reply, it shows a message like I'm making a duplicate message! (and no, it was not a duplicated messages that I was doing) What's that? (See picture)

vbdev: Could you have a look at my forum please?

Worked fine, thanks!
By the way it was {IF}misc
