Looks fine to me... :shifty:

You thought I went all btefnet huh?

Some weirdness with random "renaming" of theme that was actually quite easily resolved. Looks like a worm or hack of some sort. But that is all behind us now. thx to mcnevin for text messaging me or I mightn't have noticed for a few days.

The reason the board was not functional wasn't actually the hack - which actually just made it default to subsilver - which , of course, isn't configured to work with all the board's mods - which is why the error message presented itself.

It must be a worm that is affecting phpBB installs that are old like mine. I'll upgrade this w/e but I will not be able to until then.

Until then, J3rk and McNevin are now administrators. If it happens again it is quite easy to fix. Takes about 15 seconds following these steps (might want to save externally so that if it does happen and you can't read this thread you can still fix it).

Code: Select all

Admin Panel

Styles Admin -> Management

Delete FI Black

Styles Admin -> Add

ChunkStyle Install

General Admin -> Configuration

Default Style Pull Down -> ChunkStyle

Submit
Thanks and don't go changing crazy things like the reactivating teh 1337 w3rd censor like I know you are dying to do. :p

I lost an entire mambo site to that bastard. I have dropped phpbb to stay safe. Make sure you block google indexing to prevent infection in the future.
