The template has changed in the last few versions along with a new default upstream theme as can been seen in http://test.askbot.org/en/questions/ . I have pushed 0.7.29 today for Rawhide, Fedora 16 and EPEL 6 and we will get it running on the staging instance soon to test it out. If anyone wants to help with customizing the theme, take a look at this instance. Instructions on setting it up is at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ask_Fedora_SOP Rahul _______________________________________________ design-team mailing list design-team(a)lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/design-team

Happy to work on getting the CSS freshened up. The ticket mentioned that there might be a test server to play with styles and such, how do i go about getting access to that? In the meantime, i will have a crack at setting up a local instance of askbot and having a play. cheers, ryanlerch _______________________________________________ design-team mailing list design-team(a)lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/design-team

The stg instance is now updated to the latest version and has the new default theme. http://ask.stg.fedoraproject.org/questions/ If you login and let me know your id, I can make you a admin of that instance and you can play around with CSS etc via the web interface live settings itself.

Any update on this?  The staging instance is open for you or anyone else interested to login and test changes http://ask.stg.fedoraproject.org/
