I was going through my forum and noticed that only 3'4 of them were looking correct, for some reason a few were missing all of the colors and was wondering if you had any ideas on what to do. I will attach pictures below to show you what i am talking about

thanks for your time

That has nothing to do with Impex. Have you completed the import?

Check the descriptions of all the forums to ensure that rouge HTML wasn't imported that is effecting the final markup.

A URL would help.

To troubleshoot this, first reupload all the original vB non-image files (except install.php). Make sure you upload these in ASCII format and overwrite the ones on the server. Also be sure to upload the admincp files to whichever directory you have set in your config.php file. Then run 'Suspect File Versions' in Diagnostics to make sure you have all the original files for your version and that none show 'File does not contain expected contents':

Admin CP -> Maintenance -> Diagnostics -> Suspect File Versions

[Note: In some cases you may also need to remove any of the listed .xml files in the includes/xml directory.]

Next, disable all plugins.

Note: To temporarily disable the plugin system, edit config.php and add this line right under <?php

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

Then if you still have this problem, create a new style and choose no parent style. This will force it to use the default templates. Finally empty your browser cache, close all browser windows then try again. Make sure you change to the new style and view your forums with it. Do you have the same problem?

To do what I was thinking, go to the forum manager and check the description of each forum.
