Upgrading to 4.2 and need a little help

[Ba'al]

Hey guys,
I am working on our Dev site and i am having a little problem with the Threadview, the background is transparent and the member info is out of whack and has been this way since i started to work on it.

Any help on what is wrong and what i can do to fix it would be greatly appreciated.

I thought there was a problem with the script so i copied the script from our working site and replaced the present script with no change.

No clues?

How about a link to the page?

It looks like you have messed up the CSS for the page.

Is your style/theme compatible with 4.2.0?

It is the default style that came with the upgrade.

That is not the default that comes with vB4 - the colors aren't the same, there isn't a vbulletin banner (I doubt the vB guys are Cowboys fans!), etc.

Create a new style with no parent:

• Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Add New Style
• Parent Style: No Parent Style
• Title: Default vBulletin
• Allow User Selection: Yes
• Save

That should create a totally default style.

ok i'll try it again, when i say default i mean i havent actually went in and changed the CSS code as far as physically changing the code, i did change the title image and color scheme by changing hex codes. But the forums page was already screwed up when i changed those things.

I have also noticed that when i do create a new style and implement it, every page except the forums page changes to that new style, the forums page remains the same as it was, the activity page, the blogs page etc. etc. changes to the new style but the forums page doesnt change.

ok i created a new style titled 'Default vBulletin' and it changed everything except the Main Forum in the Sub-Forum Catagory, heres a link, click Main Forum and you will see what im saying, i have tried once in the Main Forum to change the style to 'Default vBulletin' but it doesnt change.

If you want the totally default style, just append &styleid=6 to the url - http://dev.cowboys-forum.com/forumdi...gory&styleid=6 But, as you said, the threadview won't change for some reason, so disable your modifications/plugins and see if you still have this problem.
Note: To temporarily disable the plugin system, edit includes/config.php and add this line right under <?php

PHP Code:

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

I havent added any mods or plugins because of this issue, should i still disable the plugin system?

Well, *something* is causing the issue. Did you check to see if you have assigned the style to the forum in the Forum Manager?
