it's a fault with the theme. Doesn't have a full set of images. It's to do with language settings.

the SMF default theme works fine.

back in black gives you eyestrain anyway. grey text on black background is not very readable. theme seems more trouble than it's worth.

the back in black theme is full of broken images for new posts

404 Not Found.

Broken image boxes, everywhere.

That's the other theme I restored to show Morwen. If you pick the forum default the images should be there as normal. You'll know it's the right one because it will have the Backstage banner at the top left.

i still seem to see the broken images if I select "forum default", or either of the "back in black" themes, including the one that 0 people are currently using.

http://backstage.eve-inspiracy.com/Themes/backnblack_204/images/english_british-utf8/new.gif says it's a broken link, as does http://backstage.eve-inspiracy.com/Themes/backnblack_20g/images/english_british-utf8/new.gif

i think they work if I change to "English" language instead of "English british"

Hmm, okay, that's odd. There simply aren't any other language specific folders besides English.   

I can force the forum to stick to English only, which shouldn't impact much (it's all UTF8 encoding anyhow), but not doing that unless necessary...or once I have more time to investigate.

Except you didn't restore it, Misan. See these pictures, taken less than a few minutes ago. Everything marked with a red arrow was changed when you mucked with the theme to remove something that didn't need to be removed at all:
- Black vertical line next to portrait icon
- White breadcrumb text (should be blue)
- Grey mouseover color for links that are still blue
- Lack of actual quotebox
- Dark grey background in text input fields and dropdowns
- Light grey text in text input fields and dropdowns

Erm, those pictures are all of a theme working as intended. It looks good, clean and useful. Much better than the old theme.

I didn't muck with the theme. I made one small CSS change to #posticons. The rest of the CSS is setup as the theme is designed. The theme you're referring to was an outdated version that I should never have had installed, or at least removed once SMF went past RC1.

I apologize for the sudden change since the old/alternative version of the theme had different styling. If the dark theme is no longer working for you, there are at least several others installed that can be used.

Don't let it get to ya, Misan. You're doing good work and Backstage should be grateful for it.
