For some reason, the page background has disappeared on the forum page(s) unless you login... Also, the logo in the top left is showing twice unless you login...

Any ideas?

probably some special login plugin your are using...  do you have one?  perhaps try disabling the forum inline login form...

I'm really clueless when it comes to this stuff... I just spent over a week building out the forum... over 1200 posts...

I just don't know enough of the coding to fix it...

getting late...  work early in AM...

but try one more post...

you contact form widget from the theme is throwing js errors...  doesnt seem to affect forum page though because no sidebar...

getting two images from the wp theme... this code:

<a rel="home" title="Midwest Engineering" href="http://www.midwestengineering.com/" name="top">
<img alt="Midwest Engineering" src="http://www.midwestengineering.com/wp_mwe/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Midwest_logo.png">
</a>

the theme is applying an image to the a tag and then the img itself...   the one from the a tag is the admin logo:

http://www.midwestengineering......n_logo.png

vs the midwest logo...  so hence why I think the theme is poorly written and confused by the login form we have (click on loging button)... it really should only be doing that on the wp login page - not any login form...

so my recommendation was you might compensate for the silly theme issue by disabling the inline login form (the one you get when you hit the forum login button)...

in your sp theme spHead.php file, find this line:

            sp_LogInOutButton('tagClass=spButton spRight', 'Log In', 'Log Out', 'Log in and log out');

and change it to

            sp_LogInOutButton('tagClass=spButton spRight&logInLink=http://www.midwestengineering.com/wp_mwe/wp-login.php', 'Log In', 'Log Out', 'Log in and log out');

personally, I would rather fix the sp theme...

I tried your recommendation but it didn't change anything... So, I deleted the admin_logo.png and the double logo image has disappeared...

As far as the background disappearing, it appears to be an issue with s2Member plugin...

The s2Member’s bg.png overrides the theme’s body_bg.jpg on the forum page ONLY if I am NOT logged in, instead of the theme’s background, I get a blank (white) page background on my forum page…

When I right-click on the background on the forum page and View Background Image, I see http://www.midwestengineering......ges/bg.png

When I right-click on the background of any other page and View Background Image, I see http://www.midwestengineering......ody_bg.jpg

BUT, when I am logged in, the page background displays properly… crazy...

only issue with deleting the admin logo will be you wont have a styled wp login page... but everything should work fine...

is there any S2 member option/setting that lets you counteract that?
