ok, i upgraded to 2.4.5

Ok, it does the same thing locally on my machine so it should be easy to fix... However I am showing some errors from xforum. You may want to upgrade to a newer version if possible.

It does seem to be theme related so I will see if I can figure it out for you. I am not a CSS expert by any means but hopefully can figure it out.

I am showing the following errors when trying to write a new message..

Ok I emailed you but I found the problem (I think)

In the Theme folder look in the "forms.css" file. Open with a simple text editor (Notepad on windows).

About 20 lines down you will see the following lines..




You want to either delete the display: block line or comment it out by putting a /* in front of and a */ behind the line. It will look like this..



Although I also emailed you this I thought it was best to post this here in case someone else has the same issue. Let me know if anything else weird happens.

unfortunately, that didn't fix it :(

Make sure that in your sites main general preferences you select "Check templates for modifications ?" to yes after you change that line.

If that does not work for you then you can try commenting out the @import forms.css line at the top of style.css but you are loosing some other styles.

It works great on my system as long as I tell it to check templates. After you do this and verify it works you want to turn that setting back off. It will NOT see changes to your theme or customized templates with that setting set to No.

Commenting out @import forms.css fixed it

The only problems it caused were some spacing issues (no space between the button and the caption, but that was easily fixed by adding spaces in front of the message in main.php

Thanks Rodney )))

The actual line causing your grief was the one mentioned earlier. If you had already done that you can probably put that import line back in.

I made the first change and it didn't do anything. so I also did the second change and that fixed the issue
