Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted September 24, 20177 yr Hi there, I've been neglecting my forum for ages,really because all my members seem to prefer Facebook. Anyway, trying to get back into my forum, upgraded it a few days ago and puzzled why it looks different. At the top of my forums, in the area where the breadcrumb is, I can't see the text as the background is hiding it. I'm sure this used to be white or light grey before. I'm trawling tjrough the ACP and can't for the life of me work it out. Any suggestions?
September 24, 20177 yr You need to update not only the software, but the theme as well. Try to see if there is a 4.2. version of your theme.

September 24, 20177 yr Author I seem to have called a background image in custom.css, maybe I'm better just changing it back to a default plain colour. Is there an easy way to do that? This is my custom.css file, could I just delete all content? body { background: url({resource="background 2.jpg" app="core" location="admin"}) repeat center top scroll #000; } .tthumbimg, .tthumbPreview { opacity: 0.2 !important; } .ipsDataItem_unread .tthumbimg, .ipsDataItem_unread .tthumbPreview { opacity: 1 !important; } .nbPinned { background: #00595c; color: #fff; /* font-weight: bold; */ margin-top: 5px; }

In 4.2, they remove the background for the ID #ipsLayout_contentWrapper. To add it back, just add this CSS code to your custom CSS file: #ipsLayout_contentWrapper { background-color: {theme="area_background_reset"}; }
September 25, 20177 yr Author Ah, that's sorted it.... although the central background seems too narrow??? It's clipping the sides??? That make sense?
September 25, 20177 yr If I'm not mistaken, shouldn't the default skin received an update when you upgraded? Unless you had a premium skin set as the default. Ever since IPB 1.3, I've always retained the included IPS theme as a default. Over the years, I've purchased premium forum skins but I've never set a premium skin as the default. That's something that I give my community wide latitude to decide for themselves.

Only if no changes to template or the css files are not changed in any way (css changes should always be made in the custom.css) then the default theme will get upgraded
