Reverting back to 2.6 as both 2.7 and 2.8 are broken [#256593]

The last few updates (2.7 and 2.8) cause havoc on our site. We have a few overrides (via custom.css), but nothing drastic. When installing the latest versions, all nodes are text-centered instead of left-aligned and the width of the entire page reverts back to the width of the entire screen. As I have constricted the screen width by use of custom.css, this is not good. There may be other issues, but those two make it unacceptable. I did try to update.php but that doesn't seem to do anything. Only taking it back to 2.6 will help. Some thing is broken.

This is because of the change since 6.x-2.6, which is already well documented in CHANGELOG.txt. When compare the huge change and cleanup of style.css, you will understand why your custom.css is no longer function.

Based on the above revamp, custom.example.css is also updated. Try to update your custom.css as reference to the example, and your site layout should be function once again.

Moreover, D6 require a manually refresh of cached data when upgrade your theme, or else D6 will display the new CSS with the old cached PHP, result as a not match and so broken layout. Go to admin/settings/preferences, and click the "Clean cached data" in order to fix this issue :D

Yes, got it working although the new CSS file is much less intuitive. Thanks.

This is mainly because of a full clone of garland fluid width layout implementation. I also spend a lot of time to understand how it works.

Anyway, the next scheduled stable release should be a code clean up and documentation update. Hopefully I will add a lot of comment and rearrange the layout of CSS file :-)
