I’m having what looks to be a common problem, my forum has no style in Firefox.

I read up on this post:

http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/themes-in-firefox#post-5089

and it seems I need to change a backslash to a forward slash, I just can’t figure out where the offending backslash is located. What file do I need to look at to find and change this backslash?

Thanks!

Please post the URL where the problem can be viewed.

I have a default theme just fine in Firefox and IE7 here:

Seems like it’s working fine to me.

By any chance do you have adblock installed and running in Firefox? I’ve seen problems before where adblock with a too-broad rule ends up screwing up the theme.

Hi, chrishajer and howtogee,

Yes, this is the URL: http://thelifelesstraveled.com/forums/

I’m running FireFox 2.0.0.12. How strange that it looks OK to you guys and not to me. I don’t have adblock installed and I can’t find any settings in my preferences that look like they would affect how the forums page is displayed.

I can see the default theme used here just dandy: http://cutline.tubetorial.com/forums/

The forum has style, it has the default kakumei theme applied. Here’s what I see with Firefox 2.0.0.12 on Windows XP.

If you are expecting it to look like something else, maybe you need to select it in your admin panel. But there is a theme applied, the default one. That’s different than saying it has “no style”. It has the default style, not a broken path to your stylesheet or theme.

Hi, chrishajer.

This is what I see in Firefox: http://thelifelesstraveled.com/forumInFirefox.jpg

However, if I view the forums in Safari, it looks great (just like the default theme should look and how it looks in your screenshot http://www.chrishajer.com/bbpress/tlltf.png).

Sounds like it wasn’t working at some point, and that information is cached. CTRL-SHIFT-R in Firefox will do a hard refresh. The source to the stylesheet is fine in both IE and Firefox, so it it probably something in your browser.

Here’s the path to the stylesheet from the HTML source:

Oi! That was easy. It just needed a hard refresh. Thanks, Chrishajer!
