haha...I've been there.

Go under Admincp-->Styles and Templates-->Style Manager-->Download/Upload Styles. I'm assuming you're using this to install the new styles. If you notice, under the Import Style XML File options, there is one towards the bottom called Parent Style. This is where you can make a new style a child of a current style.

So how do you use this? Let's say you have a default style that has all of your template mods and hacks. Instead of adding a new style as a new style, add it as a child style by making the default style the parent. By doing this, the child style will inherit a lot of the mods you've made to the parent style. You'll proabably still have to do some editing, but it will be a lot less. And if you make a change in your default style, it will update the child automatically if the child inherited the change from the parent.

You can add multiple styles this way and changes to your parent style will automatically cascade down to the children. And then only in the cases where the changes don't cascade will you have to directly edit a style.

Hope this helps.

The login on the main page doesn't work, and just redirects the user to the forum, where they need to login again. Any idea how to fix that?

[SamirDarji]

It's a cookie issue. I haven't even searched for a fix myself yet. :lol:
