    I am now totally lost.


    And you've totally lost me - your switching between your .75 and .76 installation means i've no idea where you're at.

    You need to

    1) login to your .76 site (use user.php) -
    2) go to index.php?module=Modules&type=admin
    3) regnerate
    4) upgrade/activate modules
    5) install/activate new modules

    slow down with me
    Only do the 76 install, everything fine on 75. Only took data from there and did everything according to the docs all activated EXCEPT the oldnuke admin stuff, the config seems to get to the databse cause stories pop up, but for some reason the login block does not pop up, go look http://www.onlinetv.com/live
    I did the install 2 more times in the last hour no change. If I could login, that would be that.

    You are the man Mark West. Somewhere that user.php was eluding me. Why is that? Ok, once logged in, the documented things work. I am busy now activating. Thank you. Will be back to let you know how well it went. But I never saw anything about user.php in there. Thanks.

    manual.txt gets you to login before replacing the files so you shouldn't need user.php hence it doesn't mention it....

    Ah, yes, here is the problem then. I now have your logic path and it has validity. Let me show you another set of shoes.
    Having a running system, I do not want to take it down while I build the other. I will loose a couple hours in the final move over, so no big deal in users or data. So I build out the site not really as a live upgrade. I build a new phpnuke, I hand make a database using the mysqladmin, I take a dump from the live site and apply it, then I log in. I cant have logged in prior to that moment. I will now just make the new set up the default and hand enter the 2 new users data that I lost in this safer process. I read your documents and you are correct, you tell user to log in, do the things needed, never saying to log out. Then delete all the files. I am some idiot that would think the site is now dead, but you are depending that the cookie is carried into the new install. Cool, but who would know how sophisticated you were being. Anyway, now I have one question

    Settings used to have a lot of stuff and I am not getting that or themes. Where are non zanthia standard themes now to be made as default? I do not seem to see all the modules I am used to. Is there a new documentation?

    If I read you right (and that last post was hard work to read...) you want to build the upgrade site while leaving the existing site work and then migrate the upgraded site into place. This can be done but obviously you need to watch out for newly submitted content - in this case you alter your permissions to not allow contribution (read access instead of comment).

    Yes, exactly. And this is why I was not logged into the site for an upgrade. It was a new site, with upgrading to the data on a newdatabase.

    Can I ask you one thing more. I got it pretty well in hand and a vast difference,. very good work by the way. But can I ask what is causing the same Theme files to change appearance. Both my standard xanthia blue and my custom Imagic theme have now huge letters and everything is centered instead of to the left. If you look at the two with (both have default style sheets identical ImagicTime and you can go to the postnukeblue also will show links are no longer on the left, but in the center of the blocks. Even tect is centered in news.

    Good = http://www.onlinetv.com/nuke with 7.5
    Sad but running http://www.onlinetv.com/live with 7.6

    This resolved I should be there. Where to start? CSS? It is rendered differently somehow. What controls this? Same theme files, different looks.

    Diffierent questions should be in different threads but the difference in the headers is

    .75 top level header = div class="PN-pagetitle" second level header = div class="PN-title"
    .76 top level header = h1 second level header = h2

    So apply the same styles to h1 and h2 as you apply to PN-pagetitle and PN-title.

    For the menu this has changed from a fake list (&middot based) to a proper list
      ...
    so style the list tag approapriately.
