it is the custom skin for our web site that is causing the problem. when I switch the skin on the forum page to a default DNN one, the problem disappears.

 

interesting. the skin css must be overriding the module css. not that I am a big css specialist but I thought the module css controls the look of the mofule.

The last classes in the forums override all skins. This is only a problem if there is a naming conflict, but all forum classes start with Forum_.

Below is the solution as other people will probably run into the same problem down the road.  Thanks to Vasilis for his help on this.

There is no CSS conflict. The problem with the forums is that our skin uses a proper Doctype (XHTML 1.0 Transitional) which needs the CSS to be case sensitive.

So this CSS class:

.Forum_RowHighlight1

is different from this one:

.Forum_RowHighLight1

The case errors in the CSS styles have to be fixed for a theme to work properly.

Thanks NestBrokers, that post saved me a lot of time...

For anyone else seeing this problem, just replacing the 6 instances of  'Forum_RowHighLight' with 'Forum_RowHighlight' in the file \DesktopModules\Forum\Themes\Default\Default.CSS cured it for me.

Cheers

Steve

We have this same problem, but our skin.css doesn't have any .forum styles in it (at least that I can find). I think we just used the default skins from 03.20.09. Upgrading caused us to have the same table problem you do. Where would I look to see the forum CSS styles?
