Found a problem.

I had someone else look at the site and he caught something right away.
They footer blocks TITLES are all the wrong color.
They are the color of the links in the menu blocks.

He said he thinks it's a bad file in the theme itself because it uses a color only in that theme.

He says my blocks are ok or it would be a problem on all the themes.

I'll look through some of the files, but not sure where exactly I should be looking.

most themes do not use tables for the images in the layouts. they use css. This theme has alot of tabled images in the layouts, which makes it vulnerable to breakage if there is even 1 extra, or missing html open or close tag. The entire template is like that. CS is the same. Install it and see it it breaks.

also try this

open overall_header.tpl

find and delete this code. Save it to put it back. This is just a test

Code: Select all
 <Start><Banners><table><tr><td><table><BEGIN><tr><td><div>{BANNER_1_IMG}</div></td></tr><END><BEGIN><tr><td><div>{BANNER_2_IMG}</div></td></tr><END></table></td><td><table><BEGIN><tr><td><div>{BANNER_3_IMG}</div></td></tr><END><BEGIN><tr><td><div>{BANNER_4_IMG}</div></td></tr><END></table></td><td><table><BEGIN><tr><td><div>{BANNER_5_IMG}</div></td></tr><END><BEGIN><tr><td><div>{BANNER_6_IMG}</div></td></tr><END></table></td></tr></table><End><End>  


also be sure to delete the eXtreme styles cache after every change

Removed banners, but still same.

I agree it looks like something is broken causing the incorrect title colors in the footer blocks.
The footer also looks too high and mabye it is blocking it.

double check that your overall header looks like this

Code: Select all
 <DOCTYPE><mod><if><script></script><endif><endif> <link><link><script></script><link><BEGIN><script><if></script><END><Start><script><var></script><End><BEGIN><script><window></script><END><script> <function> </script><script></script><Prillian><BEGIN><script><function></script><END><BEGIN><script>if ( {buddy_alert.BUDDY_ALERT} ){window.open('{buddy_alert.U_BUDDY_ALERT}', '_buddyalert', 'HEIGHT=225,resizable=yes,WIDTH=400');}</script><END><Prillian><Radio><script>function openRadioPopup(){ day = new Date(); id = day.getTime();eval('page' + id + ' = window.open("radio.php", "' + id + '", "toolbar=0,scrollbars=0,location=0,statusbar=0,menubar=0,resizable=0,width=500,height=400");');}</script><End>  </head><body><LOGO><td><div><a><img></a></div></td><LOGO><BEGIN>     <table>     <tr>     <td><span><b>{L_BOARD_DISABLE}</b></span></td>     </tr>    </table><END><Start><Banners><table><tr><td><table><BEGIN><tr><td><div>{BANNER_1_IMG}</div></td></tr><END><BEGIN><tr><td><div>{BANNER_2_IMG}</div></td></tr><END></table></td><td><table><BEGIN><tr><td><div>{BANNER_3_IMG}</div></td></tr><END><BEGIN><tr><td><div>{BANNER_4_IMG}</div></td></tr><END></table></td><td><table><BEGIN><tr><td><div>{BANNER_5_IMG}</div></td></tr><END><BEGIN><tr><td><div>{BANNER_6_IMG}</div></td></tr><END></table></td></tr></table><End><End>  <table>    <tr>      <td><add><img>      </td>   </tr></table>        <table>    <tr> <BEGIN>       <td><object><param><param><param><param><embed>   </object> <END><BEGIN>     <td><object><param><param><param><param><embed>   </object>  <END>              <td><BEGIN>          <td><a><img></a></td>          <td><a><img></a></td><END>          </td>        <td><img></td>     </tr></table>  <a></a><table><tr><td><img></td><td>{CALENDAR_BOX}</td><td><img></td></tr></table><BEGIN><table><tr><td><img></td><td><br><div><table>   <tr>    <td><img></td>    <td><img></td>    <td><img></td>   </tr>   <tr>     <td><img></td>      <td><table>     <tr>         <td><img></td>         <td><span><font>{ctracker_message.L_MESSAGE_TEXT}</font></span></td>     </tr>     <tr>         <td><span><b><a><font>{ctracker_message.L_MARK_MESSAGE}</font></a></b></span></td>     </tr></table>         </td>     <td><img></td>   </tr>   <tr>    <td><img></td>         <td><img></td>    <td><img></td>   </tr></table></div><br></td><td><img></td></tr></table><END><BEGIN><table><tr><td><img></td><td><div><table>   <tr>    <td><img></td>    <td><img></td>    <td><img></td>   </tr>   <tr>     <td><img></td>      <td><table>   <tr>     <td><span> {L_LW_EXPIRE_REMINDER}</span></td>   </tr></table>         </td>     <td><img></td>   </tr>   <tr>    <td><img></td>         <td><img></td>    <td><img></td>   </tr></table></div></td><td><img></td></tr></table><END><table><tr><td><img></td><td><table><tr><td><table>   <tr>     <td>       <object>         <param>         <param>         <embed></embed></object>     </td>   </tr></table>  </td><BEGIN><td><div></div></td><td><div></div></td><END><td><img></td></tr></tr></table></td><tr><td>{PORTAL_HEADER}<td><img></td><td><br>

What file comes after overall header on the page?
That creates the the stuff below the overall header?

The CS theme did the same, so I guess it's not the theme. LOL

If it was a problem with one of the blocks I created, wouldn't turning them all off not fix it?

Then I would turn one on at a time to find out which one?
That's what I thought I could do, but having all the header and footer blocks off, it still happens.
I did leave all the center blocks on, but didn't think it could be them since it happens on both home and forum pages.

It seems to only happen on themes with the menu box below the calendar.

I was looking at the overall_header file again, and was wondering about the last part.
In one spot there is a:

</tr>
</tr>
</table>

I don't see 2 <tr> to match up. Can you have a </tr> without a corresponding <tr>?


<END>
<table>
<tr>
<td><img></td>
<td>
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<object>
<param>
<param>
<embed></embed></object>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

</td>
<BEGIN>
<td>
<div></div>
</td>
<td>
<div></div>
</td>
<END>
<td><img></td>
</tr>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
<tr>
<td>
{PORTAL_HEADER}
<td><img></td>
<td>
<br>

I see the one your refuring to and yes I think it should be removed, though it makes no dif on my test site. Any difference on your site?

Actually I believe it's in the wrong spot.

One of the </tr> should be moved down to just before the next <tr>


What files fall between the overall header and footer?

Anything ending with _body?

just about every other file goes in between, but your probably refuring to index_body.tpl

You have so much stuff on your forum it will be difficult to find the culprit. If you send me your ftp info i can probably put a bandaid on the template so it will work properly.
