HELP!!!! Gremlins live here---TP is misbehaving

[darkangel]

Alright, TP blocks (only blocks never used and turned off are right side) disappeared from main forum page. But they did show up on the home page.

I have several times now used package manager to uninstall TP, reinstall TP and still forum no and home yes.

I even went so far as to manually remove all tp files from server, refresh browser and ftp client....nothing wierd right, do that most times to fix something stubborn but....went back to forum to check and although there is NO indication/ text from bottom also is gone regarding TP..... the home page still shows the left blocks.

So manually reinstalled the files for TP -- used package manager to install it again and still no left blocks on forum page even with each blocks settings being set to show on Display on all pages and sections and Board Index.

Out of ideas of what to do except reinstall SMF and packages and TP from scratch---brand spanking new files and possibly upgrade SMF too.

All themes including default act in this same manner regardless of browser too.

OK, so in short, you are saying you want right panel blocks to show up on the front page, but not the forums? 

But you have the right panel turned off, correct?

[darkangel]

No sweety, I am so good at confusing folks, ain't I.


Right blocks are never ever, ever, ever used so they be turned off totally...always.

The entire forum uses all the other blocks from time to time but mainly the top and left side.

Right now left side blocks are only viewable on "home" page but for some reason, no matter what I do --- they will not make an appearance on the board index at all. We see only the top block with additional links but no lefties at all.

Owner would like to get lefties back to showing.

OK I get it now 

Any of the other blocks on the site not loading properly?  Have they changed some code in any of the blocks right before this happened?  I only ask, because sometimes when a block, or RSS feed for example has trouble loading it often stops the right panel from showing up.

If all your setting are correct, then I would try turning off some blocks in turn (noting which ones are active first)  until the right panel pops back up. (hopefully).

Give that try and report back if no good.

Will try that, which I did not think of...lol I did try creating an entirely new left block to see if that would pop into the left side but nopers, it remains nekkid of blocks.

No joy at all....I know the darn thing was working Thursday and very early (3-4 a.m.) cause I went in to check the site.

Well turned all lefty blocks off. Checked and yes they went away from FrontPage.

Turned them on -- in random order -- and no matter what the forum index and other pages will not let the blocks appear ONLY the frontpage.

Re-checked all block settings and they have not been changed at all either.

What are your panel settings for the right panel? Looks like you aren't using the latest version of TP1.0 on that site too.

Width of this panel: 170

Hide right panel when in forum? Yes


Force this width on each block(use 00px or 00%): 0
Force this heigth on each block(use 00px or 00%): 0
