I made a thread about this a few weeks ago, but now I can’t find it. I don’t know if an Admin deleted it or what. Either way, my problem still stands: The design of my Forum keeps changing every week or so, and I would like to stop it. The last time I didn’t have concrete proof, but now I do: [im…

I can’t say the specific reason why that happened, maybe some new discourse update (or some theme or plugin you use) changed the css. Are you using a custom theme? What can help you (if you can change the css of your site) is removing (or changing) the margin applied to the logo (at .ember-view > …

When your site is automatically updated it takes all the changes we have made between one deploy and another.

So if my theme “breaks”, I’ll have to contact the theme creator to fix that theme? Why does the theme break in the first place? Do I just tell the the…

The brittleness probably depends on how you’re writing your CSS. Can you give some examples of how you’re overriding styles in the areas that have broken recently? Also, is your forum public? It would be really helpful to see how your forum is styled differently from the default themes.

My forum can be viewed here . The first issue had to do with the width of my wrapper: [image] A week or so after I had my look finalized, I visited the forum and noticed that the wrapper was considerably skinnier. Texts that use to take 2 lines to display were now taking 3 or 4. The second issue…

There are official discourse themes (created by the discourse team, like the light and dark themes), and unofficial themes.
