    When the forum skin is set to 'Brown', it reverts to a plain white skin.

    Not sure if others are affected, but 'Blue' is working at least.

    Using Firefox 3.5.5, with cache/cookies cleared.

    E.G.

    Working for me here.

    Never used the skin before.

    Give your browser a few presses of the F5 to see if that sorts it

    I just tested it again. Changed back to 'Brown' skin and opened 2 different forums. One appears correctly and the other doesn't.

    I refreshed both pages and it's not working on either now.

    Odd.

    Just tried Opera and MS IE browsers. Same issue.

    Other than browser cookies & cache, is there anything else that can affect forum skins?

    This also happens with the 'Evil' skin. The rest seem to work fine.

    Why is this not listed as a [Bug Report]?

    Two threads here on this issue. Perhaps they should be merged and the title changed?

    Would be nice to see a reply from Site Development team as well... :D

    I haven't been able to replicate this yet. Until I can reliably replicate this issue, it's going to be very difficult to debug.

    Since I've changed a few things which are marginally connected to styles (but shouldn't fix this problem) can you replicate this problem again just to make sure that I haven't made it worse?

    I've just changed back to the 'Brown' style and it's working!

    One small thing though (And this may be a Firefox browser issue), the area where you type your posts (this field) is grey instead of the usual white colour. Minor issue though and as I said, it's likely a browser issue.

    Thanks for the fix.

    That's a known issue.

    Glad to have this one behind me though. :)

    As my eye roved over the active topics this thread title caught me eye and for a split second I thought it was brown skinned people not working.

    Oh the lols.
