style issues

[cherryarmy]

its not so much a problem, but a question. i had a user ask me a question. when people post links to other parts of the board, it comes up in a different style sometimes. i'm assuming the user who posted the link uses that style and it's in the link some how. am i wrong? how would i explain this?

Unless the styleid=xx is in the URL the link will not change a user's style.

Do you have any forums that have 'override style' set for them? (Forums > Modify > forumname > [edit])

[cherryarmy]

its for the hole board. if the style is set on override, what does that mean? that the style the user select is going to override?

thanks kev

Have Brookelyn run this query:
SELECT forumid FROM forum WHERE styleoverride=1;

If it returns any results, then those forums are set to use a particular style no matter what the user has selected.

it means what ever style is set in the forum overrides the style the member chooses in their preferences

I didn't just say that?

ok, then that would apply if the board had particular styles for each forum, right? but it doesn't. sorry for being dense here. the same problem actually happens to me, but i never knew why.
