Don't know if anyone has a similar problem but our site was down all last night and now it is back online the layout and skin of the board has gone haywire (and I haven't changed anything in the admin panel)

Would really appreciate some advice relating to what could have caused this and how to fix it. I have sent a message to support this morning but until I hear back from them if anyone else knows anything that could help that would be great.

Thank you

As far as I could see, all xobor sites were down last night, ours too 612194 but we haven't lost any settings...
You should always keep a backup of your settings and update it regularly. It's strange that you've lost settings, looking fwd to find out what caused that...best of luck!

Yeah me too :D

All the settings are still in place - codes and everything are still the same as they were, it's probably just one small thing causing it but I can't find it yet.

@xobor The problem is in the headers within our sites, and the references they are making to global101.css and script101.js

The links (which we don't believe we can change?) in the HEAD element are set to (I can't include the full paths as I'm not allowed to add links in this post);

...full-path-omitted.../style101-tglobal-110-global-1.css/1
...full-path-omitted.../script101.js/1
 

The problem seems to be in the trailing /1 - when I save the page to my PC and replace the links with;

...full-path-omitted.../style101-tglobal-110-global-1.css
...full-path-omitted.../script101.js
 

then I can get the local copy of my page to display correctly.

Has something changed with you that breaks that "/1" suffix? Or are the headers set incorrectly?

Thanks

For all I know there was an issue with forums recently. Mine is restored as I E-mailed to xobor staff.

I don't use CSS, as I'm not crafty at that. Perhaps a CSS problem anyway. My advice would be to contact xobor staff via E-mail. Alice could tell you what to do or a xobor technician would check out your forum to fix and put under maintenance.

If you aren't crrafty for CSS, it's better to leave that out. I know it from MySpace. Making a nice layout without CSS is very easy.

For all I can tell about CSS or even div layouts, it's hard sometimes. I never use them as for div they might not match from one hosting site to another. It's a matter of compatibility or layouts in general.

I'd suggest to keep all simple for xobor forum layouts, without anything complicated for CSS. BTW it isn't a good idea to use CSS from as for example MySpace layouts, because some bits wouldn't be compatible for xobor or hosting sites for forums and blogs. So think about it.

Thank you for your help :)

The forum now goes down rather often. Mine recovers just fine, but do you have any answers why this is now happening?
