ok with all due respect to you. I can't understand with all the attention you have been giving me and I do appreciate that You could of given me a few codes that I needed and it would of been done with.I am sure you probably know what they are. BTW I did click on the link you gave me but it did not work I don't have access to your forum, so no, I can't actually give you the codes you need. I don't know what you've changed and I don't know how you've changed it -- a screenshot gives me a vague idea, but since it's clear you've made other modifications it's not helpful. I also am unable to invest the time in helping you beyond trying to point you to the right place because I am currently nursing a partially dislocated shoulder and cannot use a mouse; I am typing this with one hand from my phone. I was able to assist with the background because it's a simple modification that, unlike category / board colours and such, is not connected to other content. The link just takes you to the themes board here on support. Here is the link again, but in a plain URL this time. Hopefully it works but if not you can copy and paste it into a new tab or window in your browser: support.proboards.com/board/82/themesI am 100% sympathetic to your plight, I swear. But since I am literally, physically unable to help further, I am trying to lead you to the place where you can get the help I can not provide. I know change is hard and I know it's unpleasant that I'm not just providing things for you to copy and paste or offering to hop into your admin panel to do it for you. I am just trying to help by pointing you in the right direction, as I would for literally any other member. You are absolutely correct in assuming I have the experience and knowledge to assist you if I could, which is why I am directing you to the place you can best get help, since I cannot do it physically and the PB admins are also unable to assist this time. I can tell by the screenshot that you are asking for more help than I can provide and the themes board is 100% the place to get the attention of people willing to do a deep dive into your changes to assist.

I popped over and the posts do not look very current so I don't think it would be too beneficial/ Sorry about your shoulder too.

Then you may want to try this board (though as a reminder: the posts being current is not indicative of people's willingness to assist there -- it isn't a highly used board, but when the board is used the questions are usually answered promptly). If no one has theme questions to ask there of course it's not going to look "current" Anyhow this might be another path, it's generally meant for actual coding but I know some folks post CSS queries as well: support.proboards.com/board/151/coding-helpand thanks for the well wishes (:

Edit: I didn't read through the last few pages of your thread and may have missed something. I'll check back tomorrow morning.

These don't really assist in getting the 1:1 CSS assistance OP is looking for, though.

I am sorta getting tipsy. LOL I have been doing this since early in the am. Thanks for the links but I figured I need only a few Pacific ones so maybe I will wait till more admins get on support. Until them I will keep trying.

Until them I will keep trying. Pitszal, the admins are gone for the weekend, and have already stated they are unable to assist you now. If you want this resolved quickly, your best bet are the places I've mentioned. Otherwise, you might as well take me up on learning over the weekend if your intent is to wait for PB admins. The theme board was active two days ago and the issues were resolved within twenty four hours from the opening post. May I ask how that is not active enough for you?

The admins are here to help that is what they are here for surely there is an admin that will be willing to help and I am sure that they do know what to do.I have been at PB for over 10 years and the admins were always helpful and have given me many codes. Thanks again for the offer however as I have said I need to straighten my forum I have members that do not want to see my mess I have had this board for over10 years too. I will wait until Monday and keep trying

Seriously, why don't you try putting a post up, in the Themes section? Why have you not at least done this? You are now coming across as a two year old having a tantrum! The admins can't help you with thisSorry if that looks rude, but pitszal you are trying the patience of the members who are trying to help.

pitszal , I really think you're fighting a losing battle trying to repair that theme in a panic. Your forum is currently a complete mess, judging from the images you've posted, and people on here, who have never visited your forum, won't have a clue what you're trying to get it back to. You really need to calm down, set up a temporary theme so your members can use the forum, and sort out the problem logically. Follow the steps below to set up a temporary theme... 1. Forget about the faulty theme for the time being. 2. Stop trying to fix it while it's in use. 3. Go to Admin/Themes/Theme Manager. 4. Find and click the button marked 'Create New/Import Theme'. 5. Click 'Create a New Theme'. 6. Type in a theme name and click 'Save and Continue'. 7. Click 'Edit Theme Colours' 8. Select a few colours that look OK. 9. Don't try to make it perfect at this stage, and don't add that background image, it makes it impossible to see what's there. 10. Go back to Theme Manager, hover over the name of the new theme, and click 'Make Default'. 11. Still in Theme Manager, click the name of the faulty theme. 12. Scroll down to Permissions/Who can view this theme, and set it to Staff. That will switch off the faulty theme so members can't use it. That will get your forum working again, and that's the main priority. It doesn't matter if it's not looking perfect at this stage, it will certainly look better than it currently does. The whole thing should take less than half an hour, even if you don't know what you're doing. Because you're Staff, the theme you're using won't automatically change to the new default theme, so you'll need to change to the new theme in Profile/Edit Profile/Settings. Your plugins should all work as normal, unless you're using 'HTML Injections', or something similar. Any extra code you've added over the years obviously won't work at the moment, as it will need to be added to the new theme, or perhaps more sensibly, to a COPY of your new theme. That way, if you mess it up again, you will only mess up the copy, not the main theme. Make the above changes FIRST, to make the forum usable, then you can work on trying to repair the faulty theme with no pressure on you. Good luck.

But I do not think it is our place to chastise pitszal. They would like to receive assistance from the PB admins; at this point, it would be better to allow the PB admins to respond to their request rather than normal members bumping this thread back to the top. It is their prerogative to do so, and we should let the matter drop (:

With all due respect, friends, pitszal has made it very clear they would prefer if they are provided with the CSS coding to address their current theme rather than seek learning at this time.
Since their forum is on guest must log in mode, the only people who can sufficiently respond to their request is a PB admin (if the admins choose to do so, despite their earlier statement).
In order to assist them in that goal, we should let the matter drop and stop posting to allow this thread to fall to the bottom of this list; that way PB admins will get to it first thing next week since they work in order from oldest > newest response.

Some people try too hard to micro-manage and you won't get anywhere with them. They don't work for Proboards.
