So... that was fun.

Round 1:
Attempted to upgrade to SMF 2.x. It didn't go well.
Internet at home started cutting out and then died. Which has never happened previously except for severe storms.
Went into work.
Undid the SMF 2.x install, reinstalled 1.1.21. Re-enabled certain add-on packages (anti-spam).

Round 2:
Icons fixed.
Didn't remember the exact order of the boards. So... I just put the boards in an order that kinda sorta made sense, kinda sorta random. Good enough for government work.
Set file permissions to more secure settings. Previously some were 777, which was very bad.

Think that's everything. Going home, today sucked.

Lemme know if anything else is hinky.

Thanks so much Rev. That did not sound like fun. Go have a beer, or perhaps a bottle of whiskey. :)

Now that testing is complete. Ayep. Giving up on today. It sucked.

The fonts and colors and, basically, everything about the index pages look very different. (Firefox 45.4.0 running under Windows XP). Looks more normal once I get into a thread, but the menus and everything outside of the actual discussion posts look a bit strange.

No functional problems yet, though. Thanks for all the hard work.

Interesting. Everything looks exactly the same to me.

Everything looks now like only the preparedness subforum used to look.

For those with funny stuff, maybe try clearing your caches. Otherwise if you customized your browsers, that might be part of it as well.

Font's and colors new on Chrome with flushed cache but it doesn't bug me AND QUOTE WORKS!

HeroHog · « **Reply #69 on:** November 13, 2016, 02:22:31 PM »

The "Reply with quote" and "Modify message" icons are missing and I'm getting the Alt text BTW.

Thanks for all the effort! I well know what a PITA this can be! Believe me, I'm not complaining, just trying to help by letting ya know the little things that I see that may be issues.

Chromium (linux), still looks funky. It works, but doesn't look the same.

Change your theme to default/core, it's in your individual profile settings. Under Look and Layout Preferences.

Babylon is outdated, from when forum was first installed. I'm debating whether to fix the theme or mass migrate everyone.

Instead, working. Literally got home when my cell went off. Been a rough day and not improving

That might be the ticket. I've always run on the default theme and as I mentioned, everything works / looks as normal.

Triphammer · « **Reply #73 on:** November 13, 2016, 03:01:34 PM »

Changed from Babylon theme to Default. All is good.

I'll give it a try.

Don't sweat it. I can be patient on a fix, if a theme change doesn't do it.

BTW, the look and layout page says 3000+ people are using Babylon, 300 some odd are using "Forum or Board Default" (which actually looks OK), and no one is using Manas or whatever the other one is.
