I have noticed on the styles in the past version that if you move from one server to the other with a complete copyt over using FTP for the files and either a single file MySQL load or the UBB multiple MySQL files restore to the database when going to edit a style file that nothing appears in the edit boxes.

I have not had much time to try to trace down the issue in the past versions but with the total re-wrote of the entire software the attempt would be mute at this point. It wouldn't effect many users however, those that move back and forth from server to server or are transferring a site from one host to another would be effected by this.

I'm not quite sure I have posted this in the proper area and I not please let me know the area for future things such as this. Thanks.

I'm still not sure how I feel about the last one... Movie, not release; the last release was a solid spring board for 7.6.0, regardless of the setbacks caused by code cleanup. I hope we can get it out the door soonish.

Star Wars The Force Awakens was an okay movie. But yes, I'm personally more amazed by new forum software than any movie reboot or remake could ever do.

Keep on the good work guys!
