    In progress Font and Chatbox Problems

    Post by Tsar July 24th 2016, 12:28 am

    Technical Details


    Forum version : #phpBB2
    Position : Founder
    Concerned browser(s) : Google Chrome, Internet Explorer
    Screenshot of problem : https://i.imgur.com/CqQUhcb.png?2
    Who the problem concerns : All members
    When the problem appeared : Today
    Forum link : http://tsarenterprises.forumotion.com/

    Description of problem

    So my website's title font and main font face have always been Comic Sans MS, but today it somehow changed to another font (not sure which one, but it's in the screenshot). I asked all my co-admins if they changed it, and they said no. When I changed the font back to Comic Sans MS, it changed itself to Courier New. I've been trying to change the font to Comic Sans now for the past thirty minutes, but it stays for about two minutes, and then replaces itself with one of the other fonts again.

    Another problem is that members are being suddenly logged out of the chatbox, and not from a session timeout or their own doing.

    How do I fix these? Is there a bug or something? Any help is much appreciated!

    - Tsar

    Edit: New problem. Chatbox suddenly disappeared and it's not coming back up...

    Hello
    Can i ask how your changing the fonts on your site?
    are system works buy reading the first font and then if the first ones not working it will then use the next one to make sure your forum uses the one font you need to tale a look at this part of your ACP


       ACP >> Display >>  Font and Chatbox Problems Images_couleurs Pictures and Colors >> Colors >>


    Title Font Face : "remove all the fonts and just ad yours font you want"
    Main Font Face : "remove all the fonts and just ad yours font you want"
    Code Font Face : "remove all the fonts and just ad yours font you want"

    this is not advised thou as some members may not have the font installed on there computers and if this is the case then they will not see your forum text.

    They will see the text, but not the font that is not installed on their computers.

    I have the Title Font and Main Font Face on only Comic Sans MS, but the Code Font Face is on default (Courier,'CourierNew',sans-serif).

    Everything's working fine now, but is there a reason why it was acting up yesterday?

    Did you clear your browser's history and cache since you last visited your forum?  Sometimes you can not see the changes because you are seeing a cached version.

    Please post a screenshot of the part about fonts (AP > Display > Colors & Pictures > Colors)  in your administration panel.

    Just change the fonts to all the same thing and only have the font you want so if you want Comic Sans MC just put Comic Sans MC in all the boxes and remove the rest of them and save

    Yes.

    Okay, I did what you said, but then the Comic Sans stayed for about ten minutes and now it's Arial again.
