The "Merry Christmas from CivFanatics" theme has a bug. There seems to be some image that should display above posts that's broken.

What image should be there but isn't?

Do you mean the arrow in the quoted material? That's normal for all the themes.

Or is it the image that looks like it's got a red X over it?

(I don't use this theme as it's too hard on my eyes)
 
The heck o_O.
First I wondered how the picture would suddenly go missing on the server.
Well, it didn't.
It's there, but the forum software doesn't seem to load it...?
I'll say that we'll wait a few days with the hope that the same magic which broke it will also fix it. If not, then we'll need to contact the hosts, as it seems that something with the underlying software is at fault.
 
This issue is fixed now.

It was because that background image was uploaded to the Downloads section and URL is like:


The template system doesn't like this kind of URL.

I resolved the issue by saving the file to local first, the I uploaded to the server using

Content -> File manager

in the Xenforo admin console.

The I updated the template to use the new URL:

/data/files/gradient_thead.gif
 
Strangely it had worked before. Guess they made some changes which didn't work well together with this pecularity. I had TBH suspected that the issue could be that it's a gif, but then actually was unable to find the exact location in the code where it's located, so couldn't try any debugging.
Glad it's fixed now though :).
