Question Category Icons Keep Disappearing

That's weird. And those extra characters are being inserted only after using a template for a few days.

I shall indeed try resetting the configuration....yes, I know how to do that.

Many thanks for your help, Sozzled...let's hope that cures it!! If not, I wonder where we go from there.....

Take care

Andy

Please try it. If it doesn't work, it may mean that there's something missing, changed or incomplete with your Kunena installation. A re-install of Kunena should fix that problem (you won't lose any messages if you follow the K 1.6 and K 1.7 Upgrade Guide )

You must have some kind of caching that messes up our CSS file. The original file is still OK as the URL gets corrected when you change the template. Check what's different in our CSS and the others on URLs..

Thanks guys. I had a nasty operation in hospital today (laptop currently bslanced on knee in hospital bed!) so as soon as I am a bit better I will investigate your suggestions. Broken ankle and tibia, 14 steel pins now holding everything together. And on my 10th wedding anniversary too!

All the best

OK guys, I've reset the forums configuration and the category icons have reappeared. So I will wait to see whether they disappear again in a few days, as they have been doing, but I am optimistic that the issue, whatever its cause was, has been solved.

I am very grateful for your help, as always, and thanks again for this fantastic forums software.

Kind regards

Andy.

Hi guys,

Well, the category icons have disappeared again.....but this time I know what the problem is.

I don't know why I didn't connect the two before, but the fact remains that the category icons are disappearing after I have made changes to kunena.forum.css and minified it at refresh-sf.com/yui/.

I have tested this with a couple of templates and the same thing happens. I change the CSS and minify the CSS. All works fine - the changes to the CSS work OK and the category icons are still there. Then, within two days, the category icons disappear. It was fairly obvious that something was corrupting the CSS, and I believe that refresh-sf.com/yui/ is the culprit, because by process of elimination there is no other possibility.

Now I will reset the forum configuration, make the changes to the CSS and find another "minifying" service instead....and I will let you know what happens.

Incidentally, may I make a request for the default font size in the Compose, Reply and Quick Reply boxes to be made bigger, or configurable from the backend config options? It's far too small, especially on high-res monitors. This is why I've had to keep changing the forums CSS - I set it to 1.25em and it's a lot better. It should be configurable, in any event, for partially-sighted people. We have somebody like that as a member, and she really struggles with the default size.

Many thanks

Andy.
