Any tpl files I changed I backed up and then deleted so it would install the new files, then I reapplied my changes.

Pablo Macaluso

I remplanced for the original and nothing

This means exactly what it says -- that you have changed the footer.tpl, so it does not want to merge changes for fear of overwriting your local changes.

Anyone else lose category colors after this update? Can't get them back so it's empty boxes now..

julian

Hm... have you tried clearing your browser cache?

Other than that, perhaps npm install nodebb-theme-vanilla && node app --upgrade?

Steve

@julian yeah, and multiple browsers.. i'll give the command line a shot. even the category page in ACM is being difficult.

julian

You may have to wait for @baris to come in, if you're still missing your category icons, as he was the one who updated try.nodebb.org yesterday, as I was unavailable.
