HI,
I took a forum dump on 2.6.5 on one domain and tried restoring it on a 2.7.5 in ANOTHER domain, and i got this error, and the forum totally crashed. the problem is that the themes r not built at all, and thus many many functions r missing.
This was teh actual error that i got while restoring the dump.

Yeah, the same old argument. Have to work in PDA? HOw many people use PDAs?
The idea is to have 'left margin'. The margin is a great thing, and gives a nice feel. Which is why we have margins in the notebooks for kids. YOu always leave a little space on the left while writing. i don't know the actual psychological phenomena at work here, but that left space is absolutely essential, and it is teh LACK of this left-space that's making the current forum look cluttered and ugly.
Actually, all i have done is change it to the standard layout sported by forums like invisionboard etc, which is actually the most popular layout in teh internet.
Anyway, i don't want to get into a drawn out argument since i see that u are adament in ur attitude towards the 'left margin', and is not going to change it, and i am making this post using galeon, which i am not comfortable with. (emacs-w3m, lynx etc doesn't seem to work properly with forums nowadays.)
i am really surprised though, since i have not made any change other than move the user information to teh left. And if u r not ready to accept such a minor change, then i guess, any attempt to come up with a good design is futile.
For anyone interestd in seeing my layout, they can see it here:

i have changed ONLY the message layout and all i have done is move the user info to the left nad then change the dull gray to a much softer and soothing blue colour.

It ideally should work on PDA and also work on non-full screen browser windows.

haha, So f*ing funny. "It should work for people with PDAs....". So what about people WITHOUT Computers? What about the millions starving in Africa. What about the millions suffering in war torn areas? Will your layout work for them too?
Mine is the layout that's used by most of the forums on teh internet, and some of them have even narrower text area. That is, the forum itself doesn't occupy the entire space, and have links or other information on either sides.
My layout will work on PDAs, though it may not be as ideal on a PDA. But then again, that's not the f*ing aim of a forum. If a person is using a PDA, then he must be ready for compromises, and we cannot cater to every single whim of every single individual.

The fact you feel your layout format is better is great, but that's just your opinion, one I happen to disagree with.

Nope. It is not "FEEL". i gave u the explanation. I don't "FEEL" anything. i have always tried to find the actual process behind why we find something beautiful. And i explained teh reason very clearly. The key idea is: LEFT MARGIN. That's a must, and that creates a better feeling.
Secondly, i don't use my forum. i don't use graphical stuff at all. i have tightly integrated it with a mailing list, and i have seldom visited my forums. i am only interested in how others will perceive it.
Anyway, as i said, arguing with u is pointless. You are simply inventing specious excuses to justify ur choice of bad design. (work for people with PDAs, starving people, people with AIDS, and what not). Just take care of the majority situations. You shouldn't ruin the majority situtation by being obsessed about a 100 people. That's a very bad way of thinking.
OK, at least advertise this at the beginning. FUDforum: Forum for people with PDAs ONLY.

Yeah, whatever. As i said, i am using galeon, and hate typing in this godawful text area thingy. So no more posts from me.
Anyway, keep using the bad design. GOod for me. Now everyone who uses this forum gets the shitty design, while i have a good one. hehe.
Fudforum looks far far more professional than phpbb in every area except for the message layout. And much stabler and bug free too. And in built mailing list. So for me, i have got everthing--just have to tolerate the nagging problem of migrating my layout to every new version, which i can live with for the present.
Anyway, you are a typical geek nut case. (I used to be one too, but i grew out of it.). Too much coding has caused brain damage. You should take up some other interests like psychiatry or philosophy, or music or something, or else ur brain is going to be permanently fried from too much logical thinking.
