What happened is that the upstream server/host installed a new software update to their system. The iboard Forums software was at this point a few years old and couldn’t read the new code. For a variety of reasons we decided to go with a whole new software package instead of trying to update the iboard program to understand the new code.
I for one liked the old look better, but so far this was the nearest we have been able to come to reproducing it. The cosmetic factors have taken a backseat to getting everything functional and running. I suspect the skins/themes will be more of an ongoing project.
i will have to relearn were everything is...
You are in good company. I am still bumbling and fumbling my way through it all.
