Question Help in getting rid of the dots or diamonds?

danielles I just noticed something I didn't before. Your template is "Music" from www.gavick.com correct? From my understanding and having used templates from gavick.com my self in the past, they use a Option to enable CSS compression on template rendering. What this does is similar to what RocketTheme does to its css files. It creates a compressed and cached file each time the site is loaded.

Now I had to turn this option off on my template which is rokZipper and I noticed the changes in my css files take effect right away. Maybe disabling css compression and caching for this template will fix the issue.

This is just a thought, I don't know what extensions this "Music" template has and how it compresses and caches the css files but you might want to give it a shot.

I was just getting ready to call it a night when I got your messages.

No I have not personally done anything to my .htaccess file, but decided it was worth a shot so I took a look and there was nothing there to explain my issues.

Yes my template is from Gavick.
Yes the template I have has GK Cache (which is something I'm not familar with), CSS Cache, CSS Compression, & CSS Override. Now here's the thing all of these css & cache options were turned off.

So after receiving your email I checked and yep they were off, so I turned the CSS cache on, saved, refreshed my site. Nothing happened. So better to be safe than sorry I turned it back off then hit saved. Just to make sure nothing on my site got messed up by doing this I refreshed my site and the dots went away.

Thanks for the suggestion. It seems now the issue is not with my host, but possibly a bug within the css cache thing.

Thanks again for all your help,
Danielle

HAHA! I had a feeling this was the case danielle, like I said I ran into these problems with css caching, css compression and css overrides with other templates.

So everything is good now?

Yes the dots are gone and even this background that I had tried getting to show up seems to have shown up as well: BONUS! lol

Also the dots are gone on IE too which is makes for better consistency across multiple browsers.

Now I just gotta figure out how to line up the page icons with the title of the forum posts and I'll be all set.

Wooooooohooooooo! Good stuff danielles, I am glad it worked out for you!

If you can send me a screen shot of what it is you are trying to fix and the link to it I can take a look.

I work better when I can see exactly what it is you are talking about..sorry I am like my Son calls me a "Goober"! lol....
