    Not sure if this helps, but here’s part of the code from my stylesheet:

    body {
 width: 1000px;
 font-family: Verdana, Tahoma, Georgia, Geneva, Arial;
 font-size: 12px;
 color: #000000;
 background-color: #ffffff;
 margin-right: auto;
 margin-left: auto;
 padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
 background: #76898F;
 }

    Thanks for the tip. I started using “default” as the name of my custom theme because I was having a little problem where my WordPress would revert back to the default theme for reasons that are still unclear. Having my custom theme named “default” seemed to solve this, because it would just revert back to my custom theme. Now I’ve either got to test 2.8 for a week or so to find out if I’ve still got the problem with reverting back to default, or I’ve got to find a different work-around.

    I would think any decent host would also notify me when there has been a hardware failure, even if it means data was lost. At least then I would know what’s going on. Still no response from them on my support ticket. If it doesn’t get answered soon, they aren’t going to like the blog posts I write about them from my next host.

    Well, I actually deleted the “default” folder first, then uploaded my custom theme folder and renamed it default, so it was the only default folder in my themes. I guess your “restored from backups” scenario would make sense then, since that’s the only way I can think of that would make a deleted folder reappear. Everything was working for about one full week with the correct theme displaying and everything, and then this morning I checked and everything was gone. I’ve got a support ticket open with my host, so hopefully they’ll be able to explain what’s going on.

    Thanks for that tip. What’s odd is it’s only my newest WP installations that are having this problem (with new version 2.5). It’s also the first time I’ve used the plugins that I listed. Nobody on the support forum for my hosting provider is mentioning a problem like this. Is there a way the plugins could be doing something to mess up the database? It might be worth noting that the plugins are deactivated whenever the posts are deleted and the theme is changed.
