Auctiva - Powerful solutions for eBay Sellers

They told me I saved the update successfully at 5:08 and then I went to check it out and it was another theme. By any chance, did you save what you did on that page??? I didn't have time to... I think I like the one that is up there now better.. lol

It does look nice! Can't remember what theme you had before, but I do like this one.

Geez, sorry that happened! Lots of work..

But I was thinking..did you change themes or just update the one you already had.

I know when you update there is a box that asks if you want to save customizations and you have to click yes or no. I wonder if that box didn't show up & thus you lost them.

Or did you just apply/and update a new theme?

I'm thinking, you may be able to get your customizations back by going back to the old/previous theme. I know the customizations never transfer over when we chose a new theme.

Hate to see your hard work go down the drain and especially if you're paying someone to boot!

I will get the code for you no problem - it is still in there. (That will teach you.....)

Yea, stupid me.. I did update and it did ask me and I clicked on yes I wanted to save it.. it said I did successfully but they lied. I tried 3 times to be honest to get it back and I got the saved successfully every time but I never got got the trader theme back. ugh..

Sunney,

I just emailed you the HTML backup that I just made for you. When you change themes it doesn't take your customizations with you. So you take your html back-ups and paste them over the existing HTML in your new theme when you find one you like. If you screw up and don't back it up first... You go back and revert to your old theme - the HTML will still be there. Then you make your back-ups change to the new theme and post your html. So if you want to try out new themes just know it the html has not been eaten!

I put the code in your new theme for you.

Also you now have room on the front page again for the picture show. It can fill up some empty space in there. I don't have time to do it tonight thought. Let me know if you need more of my help.

thank you, thank you, thank you!! I didn't change the theme.. I updated it! I also tried 3 times to get it back and it would say that it saved it but it never came back. Now you believe me when I tell you the gremlins do that to me every time?!?!?

I told you I had enough of keeping the gremlins the other day and it was someone else's turn!

You did change from the yellow trader theme to the blue damask theme. Then you had no customizations. To go back to the old one and get your HTML don't tell it to keep customizations, tell it to apply theme. Then you will find all your stuff there. I am sure when you went back you told it to update theme and keep your customizations that is why it wasn't there for you.

But if you would rather think that you are babysitting the gremlins - everybody on the board will be really thankful!
