[Forum] Issues with display of Title/Thread Starter

[ChangeFive]

After upgrading to 4.03, I am having some issues where the forum displays the Title/Thread Starter. I'm attaching a picture so you can see. What do I need to do/change to fix this?

Thanks

Create a new style with no parent:

• Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Add New Style
• Parent Style: No Parent Style
• Title: Default vBulletin
• Allow User Selection: Yes
• Save

Then browse the site using that totally default vbulletin style - do you still have the same problem?

If it is still happening - Try disabling your modifications/plugins and see if you still have this problem.
Note: To temporarily disable the plugin system, edit config.php and add this line right under <?php

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

It looks fine when viewing with the newly created style.

So with that being said, which specific file handles that part of the display? I would like to fix this particular issue instead of having to revert everything. Disabling the plugins made no difference.

If you want to find the actual template, do this - vboptions > General Settings > Add Template Name in HTML Comments > set to Yes . Then go back to your page and view the source code and you will see the name of the template called around your part of the code. (Sometimes the template is the one mentioned at the very top of the page source.) However, it could also be your CSS, in which case you need to find what classes are being used and then do a Search in Templates to figure out which css template it is.

Thanks Lynne. I found the problem was with my forumdisplay.php. Specifically, where I had merged the old and new together and left some things in that I shouldn't have. It was particularly frustrating since I had done a dry run on updating the forum on localhost without any issues.
