I am missing the CSS on my website so everything is pretty scrambled. All the files on the network are correctly in their place and all I really need is to keep my main Administrator account and password. I would just like to reset the website to default so I can fix errors that no one seems to be able to help me with.

I gather this is the correct section to post in -> All the images are missing on my website and it appears distorted. - I initially went to 'Designer mode' in 'Themes' in the ACP - After that I reloaded the website because it was taking too long and my website isn't loading properly I have images below... http://s15.postimg.org/hhnlwu9zu/Image1.jpg [Admin control panel] http://s15.postimg.org/5r9ofgh7e/Image2.jpg [Front page] If I can even reset the website because I just started making it that would be even better. I just don't know what to do at this point.

Hello. I get this error message when I'm trying to access the AdminCP. Dont even get the login site. "A configuration or server error has occurred EX1146 Something went wrong. Please try again." EX1146 Doesn't tell me anything. Is there a list of error codes so I can try to figure out what went wrong? (As stupid as I am, i didn't take a backup before I updated) Cheers

Ok, I assume I am just over looking something simple. That said, how do you delete private messages in 4.0? All I see in the messages tab is leave and turn off notifications.

My server gave me the details to contact IPS. That is the message they received. There is a problem with IPB. Obviously it is Sunday and I cannot contact them. I don,t know what to do. There are thousands of members and guests trying to get on my sight! I have been a client for over a decade. I cannot get a hold of my Technician! ~Lindsay

Has anyone had the issue of being unable to view their profile on ipb 4? Specifically the first user registered that is an administrator. I have a fresh install of ipb 4 and if any administrator goes to view the profile for account 1 it gives an error code: EX0. However if a non administrator goes to the account it works fine, and other administrator profiles can be viewed just fine. It is only when any administrators looking at the first administrator profile that this error occurs. The only account with his error is the one I set up when I installed the forums.

I've been trying to enable the use of Font Awesome Icons for members, through a button in the Editor. It used to work perfectly in 3.4.x but not having any luck now. What changed? What I've been doing is I've added <link rel="stylesheet" href="//maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.3.0/css/font-awesome.min.css">to Templates -> core -> front -> global -> globalTemplate and then added a new button for the editor. The button is Inline and should insert <i class="fa {option}"></i>I've tried disabling using an option and just using {content} directly... but then the changes do not save and revert back to the {option} variant. No idea what that's…

Hello everyone. I am currently hosting with RamNode, where I rent a DDoS-Filtered IP Address from "CNServers". I'm using Pagespeed & Memcached, where pagespeed caches it all in memcached. I am also using IP.Board & APC togheter (IP.Board 4.0 Gold btw) Sometimes, the board index takes any where between 1-4 seconds to load the first byte, until it actually load some content on the site. I have no idea why, my friends forums loads within 200-300ms, and we're both using CloudFlare. Hes running IP.Board 3.4 though. Any ideas what I can do to speed it up? I am caching 256MB of ram in Memcached & APC.. Server specs: - 1024MB ram - 4 Cores Intel E3 CPUs (3.3GHz+ …

I have migrated to version 4.0.1 with all backup jobs finished. My site is hosted on a semi-dedi server where version 3.4.7 worked flawlesly. The forum was super fast. Now, with version 4.0.1 deployed I can't say that I'm impressed with the speed of it. Sometimes it's OK, sometimes it's slow as hell especially when you click on the Home link button. On the other hand ACP of 4.0 is very very fast, it is as fast as the old forum was. Can I do anything to optimize it so the forum is fast at least as it was prior the upgrade.. Thanks.
