Sorry I do not really follow this comment. Our products do not use the vb templates so I am not sure what reverting some template in vb has to do with reviewpost please explain in detail.

Ok what happened was I upgraded my vbulletin software to the next release of v.3, when I did this the template that used to be integrated with the forum template (looked the same) etc disappeared and now the background is all white. I am not sure what I did or how I can get this integrated to work the way it was when I installed it yet.

Please post a url thanks.

I really am not sure what you mean by vb templates since we do not use them. We simply load the vb header footer and style colors. Our templates are totally separate from vb.

Okay what vb are you using?

If you turn off any mods/plugins do things show fine?

That looks strangely odd makes me remember of a bug in VBSEO in the early days of vb4 which vbseo released a patch on.

You have relative links to alternate stylesheets and this may be your issue here

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Does the default vb style work?

Yes, I think this is the problem because I upgraded to 3.8.5 and then I had to reinstall the template because I accidentally reverted it. How can I fix the links in the script to point to the correct style?

Thanks for all of your help.

well this would depend where those relative links are at. Are they in the header include template? make them full urls and see if it works

As stated if you set the style to the vb3 default style and things view fine then the issue is most definately the custom style and those links are most likely the culprit if they contain the style classes used in that style.

I am really not sure about the relative links or where they are even, but I just switched back to default and it does indeed work with the default theme.. Is there something I have to replace or reset for the custom one to work? Thanks

Well I used the same theme before but what Happened was I messed up and clicked revert so I reinstalled the same theme I dont think this is the issue: the different style/color pages for the skin.

But i think the problem is something in the code to connect rpost with the new theme is missing and im not sure how to fix it :-/ .

sorry reviewpost does not control the theme that stuff comes from vb.

So if your using some custom style you need to find where the block I posted in post 7 is.

I would think its in the header include stylesheet but where ever those relative links are they need to be full urls so reviewpost can find those alternate stylesheets.

That all comes from vb. Once you find that and correct the urls as noted then you will be fine.
