Images on forum missing and distorted

[Matthew Fay]

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...

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.

You turned on 'Designer's mode', correct?

Did you touch any of the storage settings?

Submit a ticket so IPB is aware of this designer mode issue and can help you, you are not the only posting they have a issue with it so maybe it's something they can help you with

I ran into an even worse issue before, the ACP wouldn't load because I misplaced the directory. I fixed that in the config file on the website (i'm not a programmer). The website now loads with some degree of hierarchy but I still don't have a theme. I'll hopefully fix the theme through the Designer mode if I somehow touched a storage settings.

I have disabled 'Designer mode' next up entering the web directory manually to find the problem in the documents if any. Take note I have no idea what I'm doing. 

Edit: I have not successfully found a way to fix the css or any of the website images 

Here is a current image of what I have as a website

I'm not sure if this has anything to do with what we're talking about. Because I can't see the CSS everything is so distorted but I have found 'Data Storage' in 'Advanced Configuration' where the listed 'Data Storage Method Required' is set to 'File System' and not 'MySQL Database', just poking around I tried to set he 'Data Storage' settings to 'MySQL Database' and nothing has changed and it wouldn't let me change it. Below in 'Caching Method Required' this option is checked: '-No caching-' . I cannot change the options here because it's preventing me and the options are greyed out. I've spent all day trying to fix this, I don't see how my entire website can just disable the CSS by me entering Designer Mode and then cancelling out of it mid way and then everything disappears every time I visit the website. Unless I miraculously checked some option without even saving... I don't understand what exactly is going on.
