Hi,
I’ve created a FreeFlarum forum.
This is its URL
https://thrivator.freeflarum.com/
While changing the color settings for the forum’s appearance, an issue occured whereby the page startted displaying in plain HTML (no CSS styling). I think it might be a CSS loading issue or a JavaScript error. Any suggestions on how to fix it?
I’ve tried to upload a screenshot here. Hopefully it’s visible.
Hmm, yeah, looks like a CSS issue. The code that tells it how to look is not present. Try creating a new one, if possible?
I have it! Go to FreeFlarum.com and choose “settings” log in, and choose “Fix up forum” under forum settings.
thrivator apologies for the late response. It seems that you have put invalid color in the appearance (something like #rgba(bla)), and Flarum accepted it without checking for errors. As a result, it broke the CSS of your website. FYI, #3936 adds a validator for this in v2.0, so I assume it is a known issue and will be fixed in a future Flarum release.
I can reproduce this easily on my forum and I get the same result. However, setting the colors back to a valid value fixed it for me - but not for your forum, for some reason. Have you maybe put a non-HEX color value anywhere else in admin?
SKevo Thanks for the reply. I used hex numbers of colors that I use on my website so that the forum will look similar to it. I didn’t insert a non-HEX color value anywhere else in admin.
My fix to the problem was to create a new forum and leave the default colors as is. I’m interested to change the colors but I suspect it will screw up the CSS again so I think I’ll just leave it as is for now.
