I switched to the Alfred version and some icons are not displaying properly

The Alfred version looks for the ranks gifs in

uploads/ranks/ranks/

2.5.6 has then in

uploads/ranks/

The Alfred version also looks for the icons from

root/images/subjects/

but it looks for them in

modules/newbb/templates/images/icon/

once you move everything to the right places, all the display problems are gone

Mamba, can you report this to the German Xoops site, please?

Thank you chefry for test and feedback.
It will help a lot to solve issues in modules.
Actually newbb is the heart of any community website but it had many bugs. I found more than 250 bugs in the last 1 year with the help of communities in xoops.org and xoops.ir and some other websites.

About Alfred version:
what version of Alfred are you using?
I believe he solved this bug in the latest revisions.
http://svn.code.sf.net/p/xoops/svn/XoopsModules/newbb/branches/alfred

and his website:
http://www.simple-xoops.de/projekt/2:1-Forum_-_newBB.html

About irmtfan version:
1- if you dont like those shadows in boxes (which shows the unread forums-topics) you can remove them in \modules\newbb\templates\css\language\english\style.css
.topic-read {
}
.
topic-new {
box-shadowinset 0px 10px 10px 0px rgba(0000.5);
}
.
forum-read {
}
.
forum-new {
box-shadowinset 0px 10px 10px 0px rgba(0000.5);
}

2- about white pages please turn the php debug on and let us know if you have any error/warning?

also for any upgrade dont forget to remove caches:
Quote:

To Upgrade from older newbb versions 1.x 2.x 3.0.x
==========================
1- close your website. (highly recommended) be sure you be logged in.
2- get a backup from your old newbb database.(all XOOPSPREFIX_bb_* tables)
3- get a backup from your old newbb/images directory to save your custom old images. Also get a backup from any changes you done in files.
4- IF EXIST get a backup from your old newbb/include/plugin.php
5- delete your old newbb folder located in modules (or rename it to newbb_old)
6- IF EXIST delete old newbb folder (templates) in htdocs/themes/default/modules/newbb AND htdocs/themes/YOUR_THEME/modules/newbb (or rename it to newbb_old)
7- upload the newbb to htdocs/modules/newbb (upload the compressed file and decompressed via Cpanel is the best way to insure all files are correctly uploaded)
8- go to your admin -> system -> modules -> newbb -> upgrade (important: wait until you see the report page)
9- go to system -> maintenance -> clear all caches
10- change the default settings to your desired in the module preferences and newbb/include/plugin.php and IF EXIST based on your old back-upped plugin.php. Set the permissions in newbb -> admin -> permission for all groups one by one. pay attention that webmasters group has all accesses regardless of permissions. using a non webmaster test account is recommended to test the permissions for each group.
11 - dont forget to open your website again.

I was using the latest version of Alfred directly from the German website.

He had posted an answer here but it didn't work for me

After bouncing back and forth between cbb and the various versions of newbb all afternoon, trying to get something to work with my database, I scrapped the whole idea, installed your version and cut n pasted all the old content from the live site.

Thanks for the instructions on how to get rid of those shadow boxes.

Will you be continuing to update the buttons? I like those new blue buttons, but they aren't everywhere yet (Preview, Submit, Cancel)

About Alfred versions:
The issue with ranks should be solved but i dont know if there are others especially in functionality.

About upgrade from an old newbb version:

Being able to correctly upgrade from older versions, is the most important process in testing modules.
It is especially important for newbb as a very old and great module.
Therefore It would be highly appreciated if you could test upgrade from older newbb versions (your old database) to the latest one and report issues or bugs.
So please do not give up and do not copy/paste posts or topics manually but try to upgrade instead.
If something goes wrong just let us know your Xoops,php,mysql and importantly your old newbb version.

those (Preview, Submit, Cancel) buttons in forms are part of the xoops core. you can change the style in YOURSITE/xoops.css

it is just some css3 codes i copy pasted from somewhere:
input[type=submit], input[type=reset], input[type=button], .xo-formbuttons, .formButtonbutton {
background#407DC7;
background-image: -webkit-gradient(linear00%, 0100%, from(#407DC7), to(#4279B8));
background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(top#407DC7, #4279B8);
background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(top#407DC7, #4279B8);
background-image: -ms-linear-gradient(top#407DC7, #4279B8);
background-image: -o-linear-gradient(top#407DC7, #4279B8);
border-width1px;
colorwhite;
padding4px 4px;
text-shadow0 1px 0 gray;
border-colorwhite #A1C1E6 #2B4763 #A1C1E6;
border-stylesolid;
border-radius5px;
box-shadow0 1px 7px #080808;
font-weightbold;
}
.
formButton:hover {
box-shadow0 1px 5px #222;
}
.
formButton:active {
box-shadowinset 0 1px 7px #565656;
border-colorwhite #a1c1e6 black #a1c1e6;
font-weightnormal;
}


you can find many css3 button sample codes like this:
