I am trying to make a an online forum for a school project. I am running myBB on a school apache server and the site is only accessible from on campus IP addresses. I installed myBB in the docs directory as my system administrator instructed me to do. However, the style is basically broken and the webpage does not display correctly (see photo). I saw in the FAQ section that I should check to make sure that the Board URL and Homepage URL are set correctly and they are. I have tried to install other themes in the hope that it might fix the problem but it didn't (I used square theme and focus theme). I think some permissions might be off and this might be the root of the issue, but I am really not sure. Someone please help me its due in less than a week, thank you!

Thank you for your response. I did that when I installed it on the server but I just did it again to make sure and it did not fix the problem. I'm not sure if the issue has to do with permissions but it might.
The issue is pretty weird because pages like the index page, the User Control Panel, and The Moderator Control Panel do not display nicely however the Admin Control Panel displays perfectly. I believe the Admin Control Panel is the only page on the server that displays nicely. Not sure if this information might help pinpoint the issue.
do you also have login & logout issues ? how are cookies set ?

I am able to login and logout without any issue.
Cookie settings are:
Cookie Domain: .thoughtbubble.cs.loyola.edu (Note that the website is is
http://thoughtbubble.cs.loyola.edu)
Cookie Path: /
looks like
main site rewrite rules are affecting. does
posting editor work with its
tool bar ?
if you try viewing a style sheet source then does it load (eg.
global.css #)?
posting editor is
text area where you type message. it has a default
tool bar with
formatting buttons.
basically
/cache ,
/cache/themes ,
all its sub-folders and
their contents should be
writable (
CHMOD 777)
in general,
forbidden issue could be due to
incorrect file permissions,
blocking by rewrite rules or
mod_security affecting.

I fixed the problem thank you so much!
The issue was that not all of the subfolders and contents of cache were writable so I did "chmod -R 777 cache" and it was fixed.

Go to INC and extract the Settings.php and replace it once again.
