fresh install: nav bars are all messed up

I've got a fresh install of 2.3.6.7 (July 20). I'm using the net35/mssql build. Everything installed fine. However, on a lot of the skins the nav bar renders incorrectly. See the screenshots:

Any ideas?

Re: fresh install: nav bars are all messed up

The problem is that under .NET 3.5 medium trust hosting virtual path providers do not work so it cannot load the theme.skin from the /Data/Sites/[SiteID]/skins/[skinname]/ folder

This is documented in the article Understanding the theme.skin file file. The solution is to copy the theme.skin file from the skin folder into /App_Themes/default

However for new installations I highly recommend get .NET 4 hosting and use the .NET 4 package of mojoPortal. This problem about virtual path providers not working in medium trust was fixed in .NET 4.

.NET 4 has many other advantages over .NET 3.5 and we don't plan to support .NET 3.5 forever so anyone setting up a new site with mojoPortal should use .NET 4 if possible.

Hope that helps,

Joe
