Hey all, I just uploaded and installed my first ever MyBB board here (new version):
www.millerc.com/forum2/
However, it seems to be lacking a default theme / template / stylesheet. Any suggestions about where I went wrong and what I can do?
It seems that the permissions aren't set properly for the folders, therefore the forums can't access them. When you go to your administration panel, does it say that anything isn't CHMOD'ded to the right setting?

It does not say anything and that's what I thought. I read the installation doc and I chmoded everything it told me to chmod.
Hmph.

Hmph.
Also, it says I currently have the correct CHMOD settings.
.
i'm facing the same problem, changing the chmod doesnt seem to have any effect at all
2 details
1) when looking at the source code of every generated page, there is no reference to ANY css in it, be it the .css file or a css.php call..nothing..(this only happens when i am logged in..if i log out, the css file is in the source)...
2) i tried to change the "board settings/css medium" (way of storing css information), but the changed are never actually saved (although the system tells you so)

little update:
i removed the "dynamic metas" plugin, which seems to have fixed my problem for now.
btw: during the installation process, the installer told me to deactivate all plugins before installing/upgrading.. the funny thing was, that i wasn't able anymore to get into the admincp, because the installation routine had already converted some stuff...
Are all the stylesheets inplace??
Make sure you have global.css in the theme.

You may want to see a "diff report" of your headerinclude template, to see if activating the "Dynamic Metas" plugin removed some essential components in the template by accident.
useless,too much incompatible stuff...
i get a "use_xml_httprequest undefined" error under IE ,because some template doesn't include the newly required js stuff...
and when i use the "revert" function, it reverts my actual template to the one that has been imported from the upgrade 1.2.12 to 1.4 procedure...
so basically, i have to start from scratch..editing ~90 templates again... ... .... out of words.

Well there's your problem.

That would be headerinclude I'm assuming

Yes the revert function will revert the template to the latest 1.4 template.

Unfortunately I can't really help you there. The diff tool might make your life a little easier. For the headerinclude template, you need to replace the Javascript (<script>) and stylesheets (<link>)
