Forum not updating?

by Little V February 19th 2009, 4:31 pm

Hey,

I created a new forum this morning, and put up a new background which I really like. It appears in
the Administration panel but NOT on the actual forum!

Here is a link: http://taylor-momsen.lovelyforum.net

Thank you for your help!

Is it a blue background which goes from light to dark? If it is, Then there's nothing wrong because I can see it. Smile

it might take a while to be put into your forum, have a look tomorrow.

by Little V February 19th 2009, 4:58 pm

Haha no it's a blue background with vintage flowers... The background you see that is blue is ugly and it cam with the phpBB3 format!

But I've never had that problem before !

Lol. Try refreshing your browser and clearing your history.

by Little V February 19th 2009, 5:03 pm

Okayyyy I'll try that now and say if it works.

by Little V February 19th 2009, 5:06 pm

No it didn't work either... and I cannot change the size either. Sad

is the forum hidden to people?

may I just say that do not double post unless it is with 24 hours.

by magicm00n February 19th 2009, 5:15 pm

Like :)tayne:) said, It may take a while for the changes to take place but normally it doesn't. What do you mean by the size?

by Little V February 19th 2009, 5:25 pm

The size of the forum! I want 70% and it won't save it either...

by :)tayne:) February 19th 2009, 5:39 pm

try changing the skin, that is the only way I can help.

Wouldn't that start my whole Forum over?

by :)tayne:) February 19th 2009, 8:16 pm

you would not loose the stuff in your forum.

Of course not Wink

You'd either have to manually delete every thread or use the utilities to do start a fresh.

When changing themes, you have to install them. After you choose the one you want, that box at the bottom of the page where you can see what your forum looks like with that theme, after you click install in the right hand corner, you have to click yes to make sure you want it. If you don't it will not put your new theme on. Hope this Helps.

I didn't really get it... And it still hasn't updated! Sad

Try using a basic theme and see if it works when you change the background.

by Little V February 20th 2009, 1:19 pm

by Little V February 20th 2009, 1:27 pm
