basically was using an install of drupal at http://x.x.x.x/~user until the domain proprigated. now its done the content and things are not being displayed properly any ideas? its displaying fine on .x.x.x.x/~user but not the domain.

been to site maintenance and its shoing domain.com which is should do.

it shows up but for some reason the style sheets are being applied properly as it just looks totally different and banner is missing.

can anyone help with me listing the links?

for those that have the same issue its a problem with base path in the page.tpl file. remove it and ur be fine.

took me ages to sovle this one. no help in drupal site what so ever.

LOL, if you remove your page.tpl.php file, you basically destroying part of your template. Drupal will fall back to more general template files when you remove that one, but it would be best to dive into settings.php and set the proper URL for your website. Also check if you have a base href in your page.tpl.php and remove that, not the entire file!

I didnt remove the entire file just the base_path php parts. since I did that the custom template is working fine and other members of the site.

Try clearing the cache, it's also under performance. (last option)
