    🐍 I was editing some preferences in the Control Panel and all of a sudden the beautiful formatting went away and it looks an early 90s text only website. When I clicked over to the discussion forum I got an error in a box outline saying it couldn’t find the forum theme folder. I know it’s there. I can see it in my FTP browser. What happened and what do I do to fix it!

    I also have some screenshots but I don’t know how to upload a thumbnail and link it to a larger image. Any instructions?

    Are you running on a Windows server? Others have reported issues so you may want to check around the forums (e.g.,this linked post).

    mrtdueck, you just need to upload an image that is smaller in width than 800 pixels. The forum software will create the thumbnail.

    Are you running on a Windows server? If you are, c.emerson has given you a link to a thread on this issue.

    😊 Ok, that did it. For some reason the server path name for the theme folder lost its forward slashes completely.

    Thanks a ton :coolsmile:

    Great! I don’t know if that problem has been fixed yet, I’ll check in a bit.

    Yes, this was fixed in a recent build, so downloading today’s will certainly include the fix and prevent this from happening again, mrtdueck.
