Help for forum turning all black

When the page is all black, highlight over it, and then you can see where the text is. But, it is often very tiny.

To get to the admin login page easily, after the url of your forum, add:

Code:
/login.php?redirect=admin


For example, if your forum URL is

Only registered users can see links on this forum!
Register or Login on forum!

you would put in your browser:

Code:
http://mygreatforum.forumup.us/login.php?redirect=admin


The login page for the admin panel will show. It may display with tiny print, but you can still type in your username and password. Then highlight over the page to find where the Submit link is. Even if you can't see the letters well, you can figure out which tiny word must be the "submit" link. Click on it, and you are now in the admin panel.

Highlight over the page to see the menu. You need to find the link to "ForumUp Theme". But, it is often too small to read the links.

If the words are very tiny, you can use copy and paste to be able to see them in a normal size. Open a Notepad or Word document. Highlight over your forum page. Copy and then paste into the Notepad or Word document. Then you can see what the tiny words say, since they will be normal sized.

After that, you count down how many words or phrases it is to the words "ForumUp Theme".

Next, go back to your admin panel page, highlight over the menu so you can see where the words are in the menu. Count down until you get to where you think "ForumUp Theme" is. Click on it. If you counted correctly, you will be on the Styles Administration page. That is the page where you can change the logo. But, at the very bottom, is the link you need to fix a theme that turned black and tiny. Highlight over that page so you can see where the words are.

Go to the bottom of that page. Click on the link that says, Fix Theme Color.

Then refresh the page, and your forum is back to subSilver, NOT black or too tiny to read anymore!

************************
If the theme was messed up so that in the admin panel there are no menu links, not even when highlighted, do the following:

1. Use Firefox browser
2. Put cursor on empty menu frame, then right clicked to get the browser menu to pop up.
3. From the Firefox browser menu, selecte "View page info."
4. On the "view page info" page, selected the tab called "links".
From the "links" page in the little browser popup menu, selecte the one for "ForumUp theme". Then put that in the browser and go to that page.
5. The "ForumUp theme" page will show, but in black. However, when highlighted, it should have the content on it and show the words. So then, you can click on "Fix Theme Color"
6. The forum will go back to the subSilver theme, looking normal.


Do not do again whatever it was that made your forum turn all black. Wink
