Not sure when it happened, exactly, but my theme that I was using for my MyBB website seemed to have quit working. I downloaded a new theme, but it doesn't seem to work, either. It may well be that the problem is not theme related. It happened while I had been using MyBB version 1.8.22, if memory serves me correctly. I thought that, perhaps, upgrading to the most current version 1.8.24 might fix whatever ailed it, but while the upgrade went smoothly, the underlying problem remains.
Possibly, I'm overlooking something obvious. My forum is located here:
https://playbymail.net/mybb/index.php
Any insight or suggestions would be appreciated.
The themes that I have installed are the default one, and one called Square, which I downloaded from this website.
Are both themes failing in the same manner? It looks like the templates are there, but the stylesheets aren't loading. What does your stylesheets page look like?
It's unlikely that the headerinclude template has become corrupted, but is the {$stylesheets} variable there as well? Can't hurt to check this as well.

I don't see headerinclude. Here's what's included under the Header Templates section:
header
header_menu_calendar
header_menu_memberlist
header_menu_portal
header_menu_search
header_quicksearch
header_welcomeblock_guest
header_welcomeblock_guest_login_modal
header_welcomeblock_guest_login_modal_lockout
header_welcomeblock_member
header_welcomeblock_member_admin
header_welcomeblock_member_buddy
header_welcomeblock_member_moderator
header_welcomeblock_member_pms
header_welcomeblock_member_search
header_welcomeblock_member_user
For what it's worth, headerinclude is found in ungrouped templates. But think your css is failing to load because of multiple mixed content failures. Like:
Mixed Content: The page at 'https://playbymail.net/mybb/index.php' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure stylesheet 'http://playbymail.net/mybb/cache/themes/theme2/global.css'. This request has been blocked; the content must be served over HTTPS.
Support have probably seen this often and can offer a quick fix. Seem to recall it was http links in site details, but can't find an example thread as we speak.
cheers...
The {$stylesheets} is there in the headerinclude template.
I appreciate all of the help.
I'll talk to my webhost about the https issue.

I'd chase down the ssl stuff too. 
cheers...
Many thanks! That link enabled me to find the solution, which was to go to my forum's admin control panel, and then to Configuration, and then to Board Settings, and then to Site Details (Home » Board Settings » Site Details), and then change the http to https in Board URL and in Homepage URL.
Problem solved!
