Actually the templates Rick posted for 6.1.1 only disable the user ratings. That's a config option in 6.2 to turn off the user ratings in you config file.

If you want to remove the thread ratings, there are instructions here.

Josh,

Have those templates possibly changed? I wanted to remove thread ratings too, but I can't find the code to comment out...Will what's in that thread work for 6.2?

Good point. My Bad.

I have posted a new topic, documenting how to remove the Thread ratings in UBB.Thread 6.2.

You can view it here.

Thanks Josh!

we are using 6.1.1 so we will have to upgrade to 6.2

Why cant you delete the css files in the admin panel?

I am getting an odd css error when trying to edit the css I made as the only choice for people. Some of the changes don't seem to be taking effect so I want to know if I somehow changed the "default" one by accident somehow. Is it actually called "default"?

Thanks for the answers

If you change the default stylesheet in the theme file, that will ONLY apply to new users and users who aren't logged in.

Existing users have made their choices in their My Home display preferences.

You can do an SQL Query to update everyone's preferences to use your default.

First - define the default stylesheet you want to use in the theme file.

Then, run this SQL query:

UPDATE w3t_Users
SET U_Stylesheet = 'usedefault'


That should do the trick. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

I have a blue forum that I changed over to red/green for the holidays. I had a terrible time trying to make it the default for everyone so probably screwed something up really bad somewhere.

I have a stylesheet I want everyone to use on the site. lets call it sitestandard.

if i go into my home preference and change use default to sitestandard. the stylesheet works fine and the colors are ok.

if i set it to use default then the colors are messed up for some reason with some blue showing and some green/red.

i went in to edit theme setting and clicked that one stylesheet to be the only one useable. It now shows that name sitestandard as the default stylesheet to use if none are picked, yet the color issue still exists.

I ran your command as you typed it and got this message Here are the results of your command: "UPDATE w3t_Users SET U_Stylesheet = 'usedefault'".

Everything is still messed up though when trying to use the default stylesheet.

My home will only affect you.

In the theme file....where it says "Default stylesheet to use", use the pulldown menu to select "sitestandard".

After you do this, you can check the true "default" by loggin out. You might need to hit refresh a few times. But that should do the trick.

If you had any stylesheets defined specific to forums, go to "Edit/Delete" a forum and change them there....or put it back to default (which should go back to the theme file).

Since you set everyone back to default, It'll stay like that until people choose their own in the My Home display prefs.

If you don't want them to have any more choices, then uncheck them in the theme file. Anything not checked in the theme file won't be available for users.

Hope that helps. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

sorry i must not have been clear.

I went into theme and did set "sitestandard" to the default for if you are not logged in.

All the forums are set to use default as their css.

The problem is that setting "sitestandard" as the default doesnt seem to work. I still get the color errors. I have emptied my IE cache a few times to see if it was a loading error and that didn't seem to fix it.

I'll do a full shutdown to clear memory and check again but refreshes didn't fix it.

Imaginos

Ok full shut down, cleared cache on machine restart, made sure my home preferences were set to default.

The accursed green/red are still there. Refreshes dont clear it.

Imaginos

Is it for the whole site or specific forum?

Is it just for you, or all users?

It is for the whole site and all users who are using the default settting on my home or are not logged in, which uses the default setting.

It also only seems to happen when you are in any forum and not at the main forum screen where all the forums are listed. It also doesn't affect the PM or My Home screens.

When you go under admin, and select "edit or delete a forum"....

- Pick one of your forums.
- Look for this line: "What stylesheet do you want to use for this forum?"

If that is set for anything other than "use default", I think it will override a user or theme file preference.

If that's the case, change this in each of your forums.

That may help but doesn't solve the problem of WHY the default css is screwed up and NOT being read correctly. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

Thats the real crux of the problem. Why did the changes to the default css not take, yet when I got in and make the sitestandard the default css it looks ok in the edit window but is not working across the site.

Imaginos

At this point I think a hands on approach is needed <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />
