I have just manually upgraded from 1.4.10 to 1.4.16 as a result of my web host being hacked. The database and albums were not affected.
The upgrade methodology I followed is more or less as listed in the documentation.
I made a backup of the database.
I backed up the include/config.inc.php file and the anycontent.php file. I already had a copy of the "albums" directory.
I unpacked the archive on my own computer and uploaded all the files, overwriting the old files, including the include/config.inc.php file and the anycontent.php file but not the "albums" directory.
I then uploaded the old saved include/config.inc.php file and the anycontent.php file, overwriting the new versions.
I then ran the update.php from my your browser. This seemed to work.
I had no custom themes and so I did no more.
Now the albums are all available and everything seems to work but no theming information seems to be being applied. Just horrible black text on a white background. The style sheets obviously are not operating and I also cannot change the themes. The themes folder is in place and all files are there.
Can anyone advise me. Clearly I have done something stupid. Any help would be appreciated.

Well, you're trying to load the stylesheet from file:///Users/terry/Desktop/Downloads/cpg1416/themes/rainy_day/themes/rainy_day/style.css so it not suprising that this does not work. Upload clean copies of the themes using a proper FTP client, no WYSIWYG editor or similar.
Thank you for noticing that. How stupid can I be. I use Adobe GoLive to ftp and I just uploaded again and all is fine.
I could have spent all day puzzling and all I needed to do is look at the source code.
Much appreciated.

Use a real FTP app. Adobe GoLive falls into the category "WYSIWYG-editor with an upload crutch".
Thanks for advice
Terry
