I've restored access to your forum.

I've noticed in the layouts that you sent a patch request to the themes API and replaced the entire layout with random strings like "gkveilmybxgdxriqggiysvmeq". This wiped out all the template tokens that the forum engine needs to render the page.

I'll implement a safeguard in the future on the API to reject layouts that don't contain our MAIN token.

Do you remember what you did exactly? There is no access to your board at all, not even for me. I’ll check into this and restore it, but it would be helpful to know.

Well, I made a new theme, and I'm not good at coding, so I think I did something wrong, and that's what happened.

Oh, also, when I clicked save theme, it didn't change anything. Only changed the login and sign-in pages.

Can you edit my forums?

I'll be looking into it in the next hour or so.

Did you try to make updates to your theme using the API by any chance? Seems like the layouts have been completely overwritten. If thats your API key then I suggest revoking it and creating a new one, otherwise anyone has access to your admin api, they are not meant to be shared publicly.

Thank you! I really appreciate your help, and it's also nice to meet you!
