When I'm viewing the DB Forum, it doesn't pick up the theme I've selected (Blues_NarrowPosts), but all other forums do so.

EDIT: If I try to select the Blues_NarrowPosts theme in the DB Forum, the page reverts to TalkBass Default on reload.

Using FireFox 3.6.12 on OS X 10.6.5.
 
Any ideas how to fix this?

I use the same system at home, Firefox with OS 10.5.8. but here at work Firefox on OS 10.4.11 displays the TB forum as an ugly white HTML looking page, and with many features not even visible.

On March 14th we started off-loading all images and javascript to a Content Delivery Network (CDN). CDN's speed up website loading for users, because instead of loading all the data from the TB server in Texas, you can get the data from an ultrafast node in various spots around the country (NY, LA, etc) and internationally.

Your workplace ISP, however, has not updated its DNS, and so your browser doesn't know what to do with our new image calls to img.talkbasscdn.com, and it can't load javascript from js.talkbasscdn.com, etc. I wish I could tell you when they'll update - 99% of ISP's updated within minutes of the change. A few take as much as 24 hours, but by now you should be updated... Unless there's some caching going on. Work environments are especially slow at this.

Sorry, at this time only the default style is available in the DB forums. This is to facilitate the DB-relevant ads (we quarantine the DB forums to put relevant ads on those forums, while the 'rest' of the site runs different ads.

For whatever reason, both img.talkbasscnd.com and js.talkbasscdn.com are blocked by my company's web filter as "potentially damaging sites."
