Screwed Up FAQ

[Cman]

Below is my FAQ listing. If I click on on of the links under login issues block, it opens an answer from the other block. What the heck happened? I need this fixed; I do not have template editing.

[Sanket]

Can you reinstall the skin & see what happens.

[Cman]

sorry, but I have a lot of customized things on the skin. it will take a while to get all of the skins settings when i reistall it. is there any other possible solutions? does it do this on your computer? i will delete my cookies.

[Sanket]

It does happen to me as well. I am using firefox, so nothing to do with your cache.

[Cman]

i am using internet explorer, so it must be the forum.

[Kinky]

It is your skin most likely, you'll have to re install your skin and then tell us if it is stille acting up.

[Cman]

Okay, I created a temporary theme, and it is still doing it. I removed the temp them.

[Sanket]

Don't create any. Just install a new one from hitskin.com

[Cman]

I didn't create it, I meant that I changed it to a temporary theme.

[Kinky]

Install a new theme Via Hitskin.com

[Cman]

The theme I installed came from hitskin.com. It's the beach one, same as always.

[Kinky]

I realize that, upload a DIFFERENT theme, and see if the problem is still there

[Cman]

[Kinky]

Clear your cache>http://help.forumotion.com/frequently-asked-questions-f5/how-to-clear-the-cache-in-ff-ie-t22597.htm

And again please upload a new skin, as i see you havent >.>

[kirk]

what everyone is trying to tell you is that it appears to be a skin issue.
unfortunately there are some skins out there that do not work correctly or have glitches. so the only thing you can do is have a skin that works.

[Cman]

kirk and i talked in a support chatroom, and it comes out it is not the skin. the skin does not do it on his forum. thanks for helping though everybody. i don't know what i am going to do..

well like he said. i have tested the skin on my test forum and everything was working fine.i even gave him the template codes for the faq from my original skin and that did not help either.

so i am not sure what the problem can be? i will pass this on to typlo to see if he can request a tech to look at it. in the mean time anyone else have any ideas?

Have you tried clearing your cache?? Clear your cache>http://help.forumotion.com/frequently-asked-questions-f5/how-to-clear-the-cache-in-ff-ie-t22597.htm

Not the browser, I tried it on my many, I'm getting exactly what he said. seems to be a theme / skin glitch with it, as others have mentioned.

Kirk and I spent hours in the support room, testing different forums, different, versions, different styles. I don't think it would be the skin. Thanks for replying guys.

[MrMario]

You need to re upload the skin from hitskin. It looks like there is a CSS problem. It won't take long to put everything back and I don't see much stuff that makes it hard to imput back.

If this is not the case then maybe your account need activating. Some boards will require all new registrations be activated, either by yourself or by the administrator before you can log on. When you registered it would have told you whether activation was required. If you were sent an email then follow the instructions; if you did not receive the email then check that your email address is valid.

Note sure if a reinstall would help. Renaming ID's will fix it... or create a new FAQ.

[Cman]

MrMario, I already restored, and reuploaded..nothing different.

RoNo, should I just change the title for some of the questions? I am not too good with codes..can you give me a full code for the FAQ DHTML and FAQ BODY..I don't know how to insert those into the main code.

[RoNo]

The code is too long to post here...
Replace what you have with *this. Or create an Html page with it (use your forum
header + footer and update your links) ID numbers have been sorted: 0 thru 48

[Cman]

whoaaaaaaa! that site you linked to is a red site on McAfee site advisor. It said it links to a site that causes browser security breaches. so be careful when going to linked sites.

http://www.siteadvisor.com/sites/sendspace.com?version=2&core_ver=1.0&pip=true&premium=false&client_ver=2.9.258&client_type=IEPlugin&suite=true&aff_id=370-9&locale=en-us&os_ver=5.1.2.0

(loads slowly)









anyway....
That helped a little bit. These following links are opening the wrong answers:

What are the limits?

How do I prevent my username from appearing in the online user listings?

How do I post a topic in a forum?

[RoNo]

Uploaded an incomplete text file. oops. I get *one of these for that. lol

I've never had issues with sendspace but we'll pass on that site.

Just copy your source code from *this bare bones page

[Cman]

o.m.g!!!!!!!!!!!! RoNo fixed it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It wasn't the skin, I get to keep the skin!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks RoNo!!!!!!!!! Solved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wait...I can't add a FAQ question from: Admin Panel > General > FAQ questions > Add. I am not good with coding, so I don't know how to add one.

Otherwise...RoNo fixed it.
