I`ve been helping out on a mates forum, and chased a repetitive error message down to two skins..............
There was only ever supposed to be one of it`s kind. All the former techie guy had to do was copy over the image with another logo, he didn`t have to make export eight, export 10, and a phantom export members are using but doesn`t seem to exist anywhere in the bloody files backstage! mad
And why oh why did one of the error messages take me to the Tanzanian Tourist website?! :crazy:
I`ll tell you what else is bad and wrong too.
One of my cats is still being nursed at 16 months old! :shock:
Ok, I know, go to bed confused
Nite

I'm sure ir'll be alright in the morning - whatever it is :shock: :shock: lol
Nite! Nite!
Er.... I don't get it either but I'll agree with tune.
biggrin
As long as your not nursing the cat (otherwise you might be getting some involuntary nipple piercings there).
The Tanzanian error sounds like the sort of thing I would put in a script I wrote..
Practical comment... possibly completely bollox as I don't know what bullitin board you are using... but how about getting it to delete all of the skins... then checking to see what garbage is left in the database tables relating to the skinning part of the thing... alter/remove the garbage... then make one new skin.
Failing that if you have good backups... why not nuke the whole thing... run the setup script and then selectively restore database tables.
1am is not a creative time of the night for that stuff!!!
You have well lost me Venus :confused:
Chris, I was deleting skins last night, those which were not being used at least. Unless I get an option to move the castaways of deleted skins to another option, I`m reluctant to do so, but I`m guessing they would go back to the default skin. As for the backups, the only ones I`m familiar with are the complete board backups which are only used in an emergency as latest posts would be lost. I can tinker, but I`m not that good! I just know how to edit skins to make new ones............and as I learn more, it`s becoming evident that the people before left a great deal of unnecessary crap behind, which is what I`m sifting through now. I have an expert on board though, so anything I can`t suss, he will. It`s an Invision Power board btw.
All that was needed was to take note of the name of the old logo, and replace it with a new logo of the same name, no real editing was needed! Why breed skins ffs! banghead and to put all the trial ones up as a member option, well that was just stupid! confused
Ah well, I`m loving it really! :crazy:

Yes the backups would be complete and contain all of the database tables (thats how I do my site)... but what you can do is only delete and restore certain tables (your techy guy should know how to do this). In most bulitin board systems there are many tables, a table for posts, a table for members, one for skins, one to say who is logged in, etc etc and sometimes if the thing has been messed round with a lot you end up with spurious entries which reference nothing... which you can usualy nuke without tooo many bad things happening.
