This just happened up today. I'm not sure what would have caused this, as I haven't made any changes. All plugins are up to date. We did move to https a week or so ago, but the forum was tested since then and has been working fine.
Any ideas?

well, it wont just happen... something had to have changed... wp update? wp theme update? plugins? simple press updates?
on forum - integration - page and permalink, is https showing properly?
if you are using the combined css cache, you might go to forum - toolbox - housekeeping and try clearing it...
link to the site would be useful as well..

Sorry, the forum link is here.
In checking the Error Log I found this, from April 22:
22 April, 2016 8:23 PM | spaErrError | 14 | database
file: /var/www/html/emma/wp-content/sp-resources/forum-plugins/blog-linking/sp-linking-plugin.php
line: 148
function: sp_update_blog_link
error: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'AND post_index=1' at line 1
It then includes some text from a post, but the post is very old (Sep 2015) and hasn't been touched. Anyway, this may point to a SQL error?
This is the only error shown in the log.

I see a Mantis discussion on this subject and it appears to be open.

But if I'm reading it right (I'm not a coder, so who knows) it doesn't appear to have caused any actual display corruption. So I'm not sure it's the same problem. But that's the only error in my log, and the dates may actually line up with when this problem happened.
Cleared the caches in the Housekeeping page, ran a few of the other cleaning options, no effect.

As far as I'm aware that error has never actually caused any problems. In terms of blog linking it didn't disrupt the process and in terms of display it had no impact.
It looks like no CSS is being loaded at all for your forum. What theme are you using?
Using my browser console I'd expect to see all SP styles loaded but instead under default.php I see:
403 Forbidden
How about the question regarding permalinks? Are you seeing https correctly?
The only thing that immediately comes to mind is your server isn't allowing a PHP file to be used as a CSS file, but unless something on the server changed or your hosting changed things it wouldn't have just happened out of the blue.
I'm also not sure how to check if this is actually the problem other than making an educated guess - Andy or Steve might know a way to confirm but I haven't been able to find anything on a quick search. You can of course test by trying out Barebones CSS Only theme - If that works, then maybe try the regular Barebones Theme, and if that doesn't work then that's most likely the problem and you could probably put the question to your hosting company.
But the bottom line is something must have changed, updated, been added etc.. And it could very well be something you're unaware of.
Are you getting any errors in your PHP error log?

In Chrome when I use the console inspector, I see this error related to theme, so I think that's the right track:
GET https://www.oxebridge.com/emma.....;ver=4.5.1
jquery-migrate.min.js?ver=1.4.0:2JQMIGRATE: Migrate is installed, version 1.4.0
Uncaught ReferenceError: _ is not defined
(anonymous function) @ advanced-image-styles.js?ver=0.4:148
Switching to the CSS Only theme fixes the problem, and the page displays properly, but I do still see this error in console:
advanced-image-styles.js?ver=0.4:148
Uncaught ReferenceError: _ is not defined(anonymous function) @ advanced-image-styles.js?ver=0.4:148

forget the blog linking notice... its harmless and unrelated...
so what is doing advanced-image-styles?? that is not a simple press function...
the real problem, I believe, lies in that the forum styles are not web accessible... notice the error Ike posted trying to access the styles...
are possibly your server is now disallowing access to php type css... are you using nginx?

I don't know what nginx is, so will have to ask my web guy.
I will hunt down the advance-image-styles... I don't know what that is either, and it's not a recent wordpress plugin. Will check and report back.
Thanks.

Advance Image Styles was a plugin that is no longer compatible with the latest WP. I deactivated it, but that's had no effect on the problem at hand.
So it looks like we are coming down to this PHP / CSS issue. I will keep pursuing that. We did make a change to Securi WAF so I am wondering if that caused a problem.
Does using the CSS-only theme cause any functional issues? It actually looks rather nice!
Offline
No, the css only theme is just a different look/style... everything works the same... it exists for those hosts that block the user of php files for css (this allows our overlay system)...
you probably just need to get Sucuri to whitelist the theme php file for you...
