Solved Discuss plugin CSS not working (problem caused by my Joomla site template)

When using the discuss plugin, all works fine, but the buttons are not showing.
I only get to see plain text. It's like the style sheets are not loaded

Any idea what might cause this?

I'm on joomla 2.5 kunena 3.0.5

thx

please provide your Configuration Report . A link to your site would be helpful.

I just played aronud with some other templates, and it's working with them.
So it must be something in my joomla template.

It's still not working as it should.
I changed the site to a new template, but it's the same for this one.

I've noticed that when the article appears as the first post in a forum thread (when using Kunena Discuss) not all of the template css is applied. Could this be why the buttons are not showing as per the thread above? If so, what can be done to ensure that all CSS is applied? Including custom.css?

I'm not sure what you mean. The first post in the forum should import the codes from your custom.css? If so, then I've no solution for you.

It has nothing to do with it. On the article page it loads all Joomla css codes which are needed. Also codes from the custom.css.
From the discus plugin it loads the discuss.css and discussb2.css, but if you disable both files, you see only a minimal difference.
