XF 1.2 Style Lost all Structure, Please help!

OakleyForum

Well-known member
I was working on one of my styles, tweaking colors and what not. And I went to edit the xenforo_sections.css file to change the section main color, and when I changed it my website looked like the picture below! I quicky undid the change but it didn't fix it, neither did copying the xenforo_sections.css from another theme. It looks like the site lost all structure, everything is just down the side! Screen Shot 2014-01-15 at 3.20.15 PM.webpScreen Shot 2014-01-15 at 3.23.18 PM.webp

Does anyone know what is happening? I'd rather not have to re-create this theme from scratch since users enjoy it.

Thanks
 
I was only altering CSS templates. I was just trying to recreate the skin by copying over templates and when I copied the Xenforo.CSS is broke the new style, so it must be something in there.
 
Code:
<xen:include template="xenforo_reset.css" />

Yeah and like I said, I copied the main(working) style and switched all the colors from the style properties over. From there I began copying over customized templates from the non-working style. When I copied over the Xenforo.CSS, that is when it broke, leading me to believe that is where the issue is.
 
The quickest way to resolve the issue will be to click on customised components for the style.
Click on each customised template in turn.
Copy and paste the contents to notepad, save it as a back up on your PC.
Revert the template.
If it fixes it, it was that template.
If it doesn't copy the backed up notepad contents back to the template and save.
Move on to the next template.
