Hello,

I just installed and it seemed to be working great, then after viewing a few pages i lost my CSS rendering in the browser.

I checked the admincp and all CSS and StyleVars settings are blank.

Compressing or uncompressing templates does nothing.

Hey Hybrid, which version of vBulletin are you running - does disabling vB Optimise resolve the issue?

CSS can be flakey on Vbulletin 4 from what I've seen so sometimes It's best not to use CSS in files.
 
Im running 3.8.5, disabling seems to fix the issue in the browser, but the settings are still gone in the admincp, no css at all and no stylevars info.

The full css files still exist on my server.

Re-importing the master style XML will restore the Stylevars to their original state. Looking into how this could have happened.

Edit

Ah good stuff. I'd recommend trying to flush then re-enabling Style Cache (since it's style that will be causing the issue). Gonna try reproduce the problem.
 
Re-importing what master style xml? The vB.com one, but mine is customized...

How do i re-enable style cache?

The setting is found under "Manage Settings" for vB Optimise, you can specifically turn specific cache on/off. I presume it was on when the issue occured?

Can I ask at what stage the problem occured, right after installation or right after enabling?
 
Ah, yes, it was on, ive disabled the option and now i can run vbop and all is well.

Yes, it started after install and enable, if i disable, the forum is fine.

So how can i re-populate the css and stylevars boxes in the admincp, i cant lose that data.
 
Disabling vBO should bring back that data, chances are the data is cached in the Admin CP too so that may be the root of the cause. Since communication in this thread is going fast and we keep tripping over edits, I'd recommend moving to MSN if you have it, my addy: deceptor@xevvi.com :)
 
I'd backup the .css files as a fail-safe then until the issue is resolved (just download them to your computer via ftp). Can you run this query to check to see if colours are in your styles table?
Code: 
select csscolors from vb3_style

You'll need to change "vb3_" to your table prefix.

This is 3/4 as post too long for forum.
 
Looks like style information is still in your database, but the vB ACP is unable to see it. Disabling vB Optimise should resolve it - but apparently not. Could you PM me an administrative login with access to execute SQL queries for your forum?
 
This issue was caused by the compress templates which is broken for vB 3.8, I've rectified the issue on your site, will patch the download in a few moments :)

Until the patch is out, leave compress/uncompress templates alone for now.
 
The file has now been patched: ./admincp/vboptimise.php - You can re-download this from the Members Area and re-upload. Note this only effects vB 3.8 users.
 
Uploaded, imported, now the site is a total mess.

Seems it deleted the stylevars info in admincp, and live on site too.

Great.

I didnt touch the compress options.

This is not cool dude, this a is a very active site and these bugs are a nuisance.
