My main menu is unstyled and runs down the left side of the page in FF 3.5.1. with the tree and the regular panels far down the screen. Oddly, the Home item is there and the Site main menu dropdown looks normal. Everything else on the Main Menu looks like an unstyled Wayfinder menu. Everything seems to work (though it’s a little hard getting around).
I did some things wrong on the upgrade. I forgot to flush permissions and settings. Then, after the build but before running setup, I tried to log in to do it. I also ran out of memory on the first setup and had to up the memory_limit and re-run setup. Any one of those things could have hosed me.
I’ve cleared the browser cache and cookies and emptied the core/cache dir. I also flushed the sessions/permissions. Any other ideas on how I can recover? Unfortunately it’s site where I have a lot of work I’d like to save.

um... you did back up before upgrading?
Bob,
I’m assuming this is for Revo...A couple of things.
1. Did you try refreshing your browser cache? Some of the CSS has changed.
2. For the upgrade issue...go ahead and completely delete the core/packages/core/ directory, and the core/packages/core.transport.zip file. Then run a build, upgrade, and try again.
3. I just upgraded the menu system to support infinitely deep nested top menu items. That may be why you’re experiencing problems...there’s a couple things you could try to restore this:
-- Did you add or rearrange any of the menus?
-- You could always try emptying the modx_menus table, and re-running a build/upgrade, and clearing the cache. This should, in theory, work. Doing this, though, will erase any 3PC menus - you may need to reinstall those 3PCs that have CMPs.
Let me know how that goes, and we can work from there.

I did all but the last before posting. I never touched the menus.
I’ll try emptying the modx_menus table and do things over.
I don’t have a lot installed. Any common 3PCs with a CMP? TinyMCE?
The menu items are all there but styled strangely. The HTML looks kind of funky with empty <li> items and a number of missing </div>s. So maybe it’s more likely a problem with the code that renders the menus rather than the DB.

I emptied the modx_menus table, flushed and cleared everything and updated to today’s SVN but it looks the same. I see another user has had the same experience.
I tried another site of mine. It’s a very clean install with almost no modifications based on a clean checkout from a while ago. I flushed permissions and sessions, then deleted /core/packages/core and core/packages/core.transport.zip. Did an upgrade from SVN and a new _build and install. Now it’s fubared too, so I think something’s definitely up with the latest build.
I’m using XAMPP 1.6.8 and FF 3.5.2.
Both sites look fine in Google Chrome so it looks like a FF 3.5.2 problem.
I tried disabling all FF add-ins but it didn’t make any difference.
It’s most definitely a problem with the code; can you guys give me some Screenshots?
Also, do you all have any CMPs (custom manager pages) on these? IOW, was there anything under Components?
P.S. I have to remind you guys, though - branches/2.0 is the "development branch" of Revolution. If you’re using it, you need to expect this to happen as new features are introduced in it. branches/revolution is the stable branch, and we recommend using that if you need a more stable Revo for the time being.

It’s back to normal with 5717. Thanks! I did have Release Me under components on one site but I’m pretty sure not on the other.
I’m using branches/2.0 just so I can report on stuff like this since I’m using a different environment than either you or Jason. Otherwise, I figure it might be a while before some of the issues are discovered and I thought that that was better than having problems lurking for several revs. Please feel free to tell me to go back to the other branch if my "discoveries" are doing more harm than good for the project overall.
