[Forum] Repeat Text

[stumeister2]

Changed to a new forum style. Looks great but I I have one issue I am hoping you can help with.
At the bottom of my homepage in the "What's Going On" section I am getting doubled or mirrored text. For Example:

Same thing when I click to see a member's profile. Instead of seeing "Memberjohn is offline"
It says memberjohnmemberjohn is offline

(Yes the style is the latest and is compatible with VB 4.2.0 which I am running. I have no such problems in Default mode)
I thank you in advance for any help that you can offer.

Try creating a style with no parent.

Do you still experience the same issues?

Try asking the developer if it displays normal on a default skin.

Sounds like there is Alt text tag for each line (could be an image or icon included but not displayed)

Yes that's That's exactly what it is. See below. How do I get rid of the alt Icons and alt text? Is this because I just uploaded the XML file to create the back to basics style, and did not upload all the corresponding png and gif files that go along with it? What file(s) do I need to modify? I thank you in advance for your help.

That's what I am saying, images were not uploaded..., Either you edit the code and remove the Alt text, or just upload the images that go with the style... It's a lot easier to just upload the images.

If your wanting to strip a style down and go even more basic i.e. if making a mobile style or something to save bandwidth or page load times then you will be required to edit quite a bit to remove all those tags... only remove the ones for what your actually removing as the alt tag is there for a reason .

Thanx merjawy, that's what I needed to know. My site looks great now.
