This may be an extremely easy fix, and probably something I’m overlooking, but the forum displays different themes for logged in and logged out users.

I recently updated my theme as well as the forum theme to a responsive theme. Everything was wonderful until I actually looked at the forum from a different browser as a guest!

Disabling CSS/js caching in options>global fixes the issue, but that obviously isn’t ideal for page load speeds. I know I’m missing something and hopefully someone with fresh eyes can point it out.

Have you tried resetting the CSS cache (Admin > Toolbox > Housekeeping)?

SP does not load different themes or overlays based on logged in status (unless the user language/theme selection plugin is active and it gets the overlay to use from the users cookie). So try the above first. Although having said that whether as user of guest it would still have been loading the same CSS before…

I swear to you that I had already done that, but it worked. Strangest thing I’ve seen in quite a while!

Many thanks!

Is it possible that on one of the tests you made your browser was set up as a mobile agent and you were running the theme specified for mobile use?

Nope. I didn’t change any browser user agents, and it was that way on FF, IE, Chrome, and Opera.
